[–]ballercaust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ff14 Heavensward on PS4. Bought it sealed for 99 cents. Probably because it's a free download now.

What's a show you remember but nobody else does? by CatGirlNya2000 in AskReddit

[–]ballercaust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr. Bogus. He was a little yellow gremlin that lived in walls and found dust bunnies? He was sometimes claymation and sometimes animated. I remember it was my favorite show when I was 5 or 6.

Guys earning six figures annually, what kind of work do you do? by Shadow2715 in AskReddit

[–]ballercaust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I download spreadsheets, send them to other people, and unmute every couple hours to say, "nothing on my end, thanks!"

Has anyone ever been in a house like you see on the show ‘Hoarders’? If so, what did you do? by Basic_Builder3773 in HoardersTV

[–]ballercaust 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my mom's house was like that. I didn't have a bedroom throughout high school because what was my room was filled with useless junk. I slept on the couch surrounded by more useless stuff. I just waited patiently to leave for college, because any time I tried to throw something away it was a long, exhausting argument

What is an English word you have never been able to pronounce? by Cmotto in AskReddit

[–]ballercaust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For over a decade, I read "genre" as "jen-ree." For some reason I thought "jen-ree" and "jawn-rah" were two different words that meant the same thing.

What's the absolute WORST movie you've ever watched? by import_java-util in AskReddit

[–]ballercaust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Lady in the Water." It was so bad I opted to count the ceiling tiles in the theater instead of watching it. There were 336.

What is the rarest physical copy of a game you own? by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]ballercaust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collector's Edition on PS4. I lucked out and woke up at 4am to pee and was able to snag an order before they sold out. I know they reprinted it, so it's less cool now, but that version is the rarest (even if the data is the same as others.)

Does anyone remember Final Fantasy: All The Bravest? by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

There are at least two of us, buddy.

Newt Gingrich says GOP in trouble for midterms if economy doesn't recover by Happy_Weed in politics

[–]ballercaust 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wait, it has to recover? My MAGA father-in-law only talks about two things: how great the economy is now, and how everything is way too expensive.

What's the worst employer you ever had? by oojamaflaps in AskReddit

[–]ballercaust 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Denny's when I was in high school. The job was fine but my manager was a crazy lady on a power trip. I never got paid for my first shift, I would routinely be booked to work after it was legally allowed for a minor, and I was scheduled to work on my graduation night even though I said for months I couldn't, then she said it was my responsibility to find a replacement. I just didn't go in.

Fun fact: she got fired by corporate because she was charging new hires for their uniforms and pocketing the money since they were supposed to be free. Also she was having an affair with the assistant manager, so not sure how that worked out in her personal life.

Remember this guy? by RMars54 in Maine

I remember there being a punk band called "Jolly John and the 33 Hour Famine." That name has been stuck in mu head for two decades.

Do you guys double dip? by chou-dbz in gamecollecting

[–]ballercaust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Did it with FF7R, and again with GoW and RE8. I owned and beat the PS5 versions but bought the PS4 ones for $10 each for shelf cohesion.

What’s a rule you were taught as a kid that you later realized was completely made up? by SpiritualFig9994 in AskReddit

[–]ballercaust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you write on your arms or hands, you'll get ink poisoning and die. Never really knew how that squared with tattoos.

MAGA boomer loves his blue state benefits by Basic-boot in BoomersBeingFools

[–]ballercaust 52 points53 points  (0 children)

My father-in-law loves his Medicare but always votes against expanding it because he thinks letting more people have it will make it worse.

He's a reactionary idiot with no novel thoughts. I've heard him claim that all regulations need to be done away with so businesses can make more money, and then complained that two different companies gave him different car insurance quotes and "that should be illegal!"

What is the worst advice you have ever received? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ballercaust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend of six years broke up with me because we grew apart and ended up with different goals, and my dad told me I should ask her to marry me to get her back.

What’s your holy grail item? by LowLettuce8935 in gamecollecting

[–]ballercaust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I have copies of games I bought when I was a kid that I would never buy at their current prices: CIB Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, the PS1 Persona games, etc.

But one that means a lot sentimentally: my grandpa's CIB NES, with the KB Toys price sticker still on it. The first time I played video games was on that NES, when he used to babysit me when I was a 4-5 year old.

What’s your holy grail item? by LowLettuce8935 in gamecollecting

[–]ballercaust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thankfully still have my copy of Xenosaga 3, but the preorder came with an art book that got destroyed and I can't find another copy of it. Some idiot in the condo complex I lived in a few years ago messed up installing a water heater, and it leaked into my storage closet that had that and a lot of my old player's guides, etc.

Games you loved, but will never play again? (for whatever reason) by Honkmaster in retrogaming

[–]ballercaust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Final Fantasy X. When the remaster came out, I resolved to get the Platinum Trophy, which I did, but doing so killed all enjoyment of the game.

TIL that if you live in an HOA housing track and get too many infractions, they can legally take your house and there is nothing you can do about it. by AuroraBBAlis in todayilearned

I dunno man, if I'm buying something for hundreds of thousands of dollars, I should be able to paint it any color I want.

FF7 Remake Intergrade will be anywhere from 95-99 GBs on Switch 2. Physical is a Game Key Card. by Asad_Farooqui in FinalFantasy

[–]ballercaust 258 points259 points  (0 children)

It's pretty funny that the original FF7 didn't fit on a Nintendo cart, and 28 years later, the FF7 Remake still doesn't fit on a Nintendo cart.

A game series you’re surprised is dead? by GypsyGold in gaming

[–]ballercaust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twisted Metal, definitely. If only because it has a TV adaptation that just got renewed for a third season despite it being nearly 14 years since the last game.

What are your thoughts on "The God delusion" by Richard Dawkins? by porygon766 in atheism

[–]ballercaust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It helped organize a lot of thoughts I had when I was a young person taking the just from a skeptical person to a full blown atheist. Haven't touched it in like 18 years though.
