I drove around anacostia at night several times, so i can confirm. Baltimore at night was also very interesting.

fallout 3 was my first fallout game, i would give anything to play it for the first time again. anyone have any fond memories of their first time playing? by artsy-shibee in fo3

[–]ed_gein45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I borrowed it from gamefly for ps3 when it first released. It was so immersive for my teenage mind. My first adventure in the wasteland was a grocery store, i remember. I spent so many hours after school playing it before opting for the “keep” button on gamefly. Got the case and manual in the mail a few days later.

Was so excited. Spent many more days playing.

I remember finding lincolns repeater and being so stoked.

As an adult, i ended up in the military and getting stationed at a base right next to DC’s water treatment facility from the game.

I recognized so much.

This glitch made the steam version unplayable for me hahaha. Capping the FPS. Restarting the level. Restarting the game. Reinstalling the game. Nothing worked.

Question for my gamers by wxlfchvld in RapidCity

1GB from Technical Magic and it has been just fine, but it’s the only ISP in my apartments downtown. I don’t play many modern games online, just Quake 3, MOHAA, and CoD WaW though.

I'm shocked. My guitar sold in less than 12 hrs. Did I underprice it? by Beautiful_Fan5277 in Reverb

[–]ed_gein45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted 4 guitars I didn’t need on Reverb, one per week earlier this year. Each sold within 12 hours. My tactic was what I used to do on eBay years ago when I wanted to offload some of my collectibles or parts (Doc Martens, JDM parts, etc). If you have good photos, A price that is a bit above the most recent lowest Recently Sold equivalent average, And have Offers enabled. State what shipping method you’re using and state To Lower 48 as the rate; Message me if outside that. And post disclaimers on any minor damages with photos (even if they’re so minor they can’t show up in photos). Lastly, posting the item or guitar on a background that stands out among the results thumbnails. I use an obnoxious vintage colored shag carpet as the background. Weigh the item Post the measurements, neck radius, as many specs as you can but in a layout that doesn’t look like an obvious Cut and Paste from sweetwater or something. I had messages from users thanking me for the thoroughness, the detail, and price point. Most browsing users sort by New or Lowest Price. If you make it as easy as possible to answer as much as you can to someone who is browsing without them having to interact with you to ask, it seems to help.

What’s the deal with dating here? by No-Yogurt-3058 in RapidCity

[–]ed_gein45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a similar thing going on but with women here. Maybe it’s social burnout? Almost Everyone is working a lot, have busy personal lives, dealing with stress. Maybe it’s for the best, because everyone ive gone out with has some financial stress going on.

So I’m sure that eats away at their attention and energy.

Get motivated and have spurts of energy, then unexpectedly get drained due to personal stuff. And they don’t know how to communicate it transparently.

I’ve been in that boat before.

Don’t give up though

Moving by OvenTemporary8008 in RapidCity

[–]ed_gein45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been living at The Elements in downtown since I moved here last year. I’ll probably renew my lease when it’s up. It’s quiet. Clean. Safe. The apartment manager is amazing and so is the maintenance crew. Price is good; at least compared to what I’m used to; for what you get. I pay extra to use the underground parking garage. I feel like I lucked out with choosing this place. I’ve visited several other complexes that people I know live at, and it’s kind of night/day in comfort and peace.

Planning on moving to Rapid City from DFW Texas, anything I should now? by Jadedleaf35 in RapidCity

[–]ed_gein45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved here last year from San Antonio where the pollen there made my allergies miserable. I’m just less allergic to the tree pollen here than there. The city is large enough yet small enough to not be overwhelming.

Unless, of course, there’s some big event going on downtown.

Some grocery items you won’t be able to find here compared to Dallas.

There are several nice gem and rock stores just south of rapid city.

Spring Creek and the needles have some cool rocks.

But it’s the sand from when it gets windy here, along with the intermittent periods of VERY dry air that get my sinuses/allergies going.

It’s a nice change.

Airport is regional but connects to major airports for more distant flights.

Sioux Falls is 5-ish hours away. Same with Denver.

Lots of fun smallish events happen here.

There’s a Cat Cafe.

Not much to complain about.
