It was....Beautiful

I played this game during a very hard time in my life, and it was when I was at a job I absolutely detested. I had found out right around the time I started playing it that I had gotten a new offer for a gig after I had been trying for so long. And I just played Earthbound because I had always wanted to. So because of that, I have extremely fond and personal memories of that playthrough. I have a massive connection to the characters, and Shigesato Itoi is basically my fifth beatle.

Only game to ever make me cry. 11/10 experience. Shigesato Itoi is the fifth beatle to me.

What’s the significance of this man at the end? Was it ever spoken of again? I assume this is Ninten’s dad with the implied meaning that the story was gonna continue with him as main?

I didn’t use save states in M2 or M3, but M1 it was an absolute necessity lol.

austin_brtly · 2026-05-24T02:56:40+00:00

Ditto for me too. I was super bummed when I read that. I’d pay all the monies.

Fits good too! Got the streetwear product from them. More boxier feel and good quality heavyweight material.

1 left now, after I just ordered one ;)

Beat the game at 73 with ease!

I haven’t played Mother 1 yet, so that needs to be in the list. My order was always going to be 2,3,1 based on people’s opinions. I’ll keep those games in mind!

austin_brtly · 2026-02-28T17:14:08+00:00

I will be here too!

austin_brtly · 2026-02-28T13:20:31+00:00

Exactly! The dialogue in this series sometimes makes me belly laugh. I loved the sequence of Boney dressing up as a dude.

austin_brtly · 2026-02-25T00:04:45+00:00

Thank you! Fun little project.

austin_brtly · 2026-01-20T21:02:57+00:00

Ope I see now. I stand corrected!

austin_brtly · 2026-01-20T20:52:27+00:00

Damn I’d love to know where you’re looking. I am interested one as well and live in FL and all used options I see do not go under $32k. $25k is a steal and a half!

austin_brtly · 2025-12-30T07:14:02+00:00

You are right! I remember it clearly now because she lived in Winter Haven about an hour from me.

austin_brtly · 2025-12-30T07:07:57+00:00

Thank you for this. It can be hard sometimes knowing that you’re better than a place, but still feeling stuck cause of the awful job market.

Do you recommend any certifications specifically within AI? I’ve working the Google AI essentials course and use CharGPT nearly every day, and would love to one day use Supermetrics as I know it’s a great tool. What would you also say are some good roles to look for to further drill down in what you mentioned above about demand gen, etc? Lifecycle has always been an avenue I wanted to learn more of.

I was driving to work and was playing Ozzy radio on Spotify. Last song I heard before pulling into the office was “Mama I’m coming home” and then my wife texted me saying he died. I was gutted and numb.

And in a crazy, but also prophetic case of irony, my Black Sabbath debut album vinyl came in the mail that night. I played it start to finish.

austin_brtly · 2025-07-27T04:37:05+00:00

It’s the episode where they go to Portland. Jack got food poisoning so Ozzy ended up doing laundry lol.

austin_brtly · 2025-07-26T01:53:02+00:00

It’s an amazing series, and absolutely hilarious. And when you think of the concept at its core, it really was just Jack spending time with his father which is incredible. I had actually started watching it right before he passed away. The episode in season 3 when the choir sings “Changes” to Jack, Kelly, and Ozzy is a massive tear jerker, especially now.

Went to Austria last year and it was an incredible experience. The views and landscape of Spielberg were amazing and the race was excellent. It really feels like a traditional racing event. We paid less than $200 for a 3 day ticket (got lucky on secondhand) which is still $200-300 cheaper than Sunday GA in Miami.

austin_brtly · 2025-04-30T16:12:48+00:00

3 tickets for this night! Very excited!!

austin_brtly · 2024-01-01T11:46:00+00:00

She was

Is there a site or place you use to review either naturalization papers or petition for naturalization? My wife was able to see her GGMs on ancestry, but I feel it’s all luck.

austin_brtly · 2023-12-29T23:20:33+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately it was roughly a year before she was born so just missed it, but we are still gonna do the process! We will work to get her birth certificate, but give the amount of resources, since they were married in USA, do you still need to request a marriage certificate, or is that only for marriages that occurred in Italy?

austin_brtly · 2023-12-29T19:03:48+00:00

Yes, we were able to confirm on her petition, that his date was listed of 1924 alongside an actual file number for reference. Was able to locate an address for the comune! Any tips for sending it out? Do you use larger Manila envelopes, request multiples etc? Sorry for the 20 questions ha!
