| Topic | Oh shit I'm officially in the process of buying my first home |
| CaptainObvius 02/18/21 5:40:48 AM #50 | Congrats! Buying was one of the better financial decisions i made. I am paying off my house in a couple of months, which is really exciting. I will have paid it off 9 years into a 30 year mortgage. Next step is solar panels, hopefully i can keep my utility bills really low and save for an earlier retirement. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | I started mining ETH today |
| CaptainObvius 02/11/21 1:43:34 AM #7 | Personally I am sticking with ETH, and BTC, at least for long term gains. I did just sign up for a Celsius wallet. For Synthetix, and USDC, I am looking at an APY of over 10%. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | You can get 1 skyrim skill tree irl, what do you pick? |
| CaptainObvius 02/07/21 11:31:07 PM #30 | Alteration would be my choice. Telekinesis, has lots of uses. With Transmute ore, i can make lots of money really fast. Waterbreathing could be really fun, since i live near the ocean. Ebonflesh to protect myself from harm. And paralyze if things get dicey. A very close second is Restoration. Although, it probably would only work on wounds not diseases. I may be thinking of something else, but i vaguely remember not being able to cure diseases with the restoration tree. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Worst Star Trek Episode? |
| CaptainObvius 02/01/21 1:33:42 AM #13 | I really wanted to say Move Along Home, mostly because i am not a huge fan of DS9. But it is one of the few episodes i enjoyed, any of them starring Quark were entertaining. I went with Shades of Gray. I just watched it recently and remember just wanting to fast forward through most of it. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Favorite Video Game Ending... |
| CaptainObvius 02/01/21 1:28:34 AM #24 | I think Shadow Hearts: Covenant. Although, Kingdom hearts was an awesome ending. I remember recording the ending on my vcr and sharing it with some friends. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | If you had won that mega millions jackpot what's the 1st thing you think you'd |
| CaptainObvius 01/23/21 4:47:35 PM #25 | 5 million each to my immediate family members, and close friends, so I don't retire alone. I would buy a new phone/number and only give it family/friends. Buy a new house, no massive mansion or anything, I have just always wanted a dedicated dnd room, and a library. Then just relax and wait to travel until covid restrictions are lifted. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | WandaVision Discussion Topic. |
| CaptainObvius 01/16/21 1:22:25 PM #23 | It is giving me some major Legion vibes right now. So far i have enjoyed it as well. I think it could be really interesting, and i like the cast so far. I'm really glad they got Debra Jo Rupp, she fits perfectly in that setting. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | what are some good RTS games? |
| CaptainObvius 01/16/21 10:29:26 AM #14 | It's been a while since i played any, but i second the person saying Starcraft 2. Also, Rise of Legends is an excellent choice. I may have to look into some new ones as well, now that i saw this topic it made me want to get into the genre again. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Are you still social distancing? |
| CaptainObvius 01/16/21 10:26:43 AM #19 | Working 3rd shift makes it easy to social distance. Although now i can't do my shopping at 2AM since most stores close at 8PM around here. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | When you die you're met with New Game+ prompt. |
| CaptainObvius 01/13/21 4:15:23 AM #7 | I definitely would. Several missed opportunities i would take next time around. I still would do many things the same, my brother in law is one of my best friends right now, so i would try to keep things the same so he would meet my sister. I would carry over several of the good habits i picked up over my latest four years, running, good diet, etc. It took me 30 years to find my passion, i would like to see what my life was like if i could pursue it earlier. If i had a choice i would start my life after 5 years old, there was lots of physical therapy i wouldn't want to go through again. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | how much do you need to retire off of? |
| CaptainObvius 01/06/21 6:50:43 AM #17 | Roughly, 1.4 million usd. This factors in a new car every 10-15 years, an emergency fund, and 2 decent vacations a year. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | KFC or Popeyes? |
| CaptainObvius 11/04/20 4:03:52 AM #36 | Neither, just a publix supermarket fried chicken is the way to go. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Wtf is the point of gift giving when you can just buy it yourself? |
| CaptainObvius 11/02/20 2:59:38 AM #22 | I love giving gifts. Finding creative gifts, or splurging and buying people they couldn't afford themselves. My family treats it as a bit of a competition. Gift cards or cash are considered the lazy way out, by my family. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Fav movie monster |
| CaptainObvius 10/26/20 7:37:49 AM #13 | Leprechaun. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Your shift at the local strip club is about to start! |
| CaptainObvius 10/14/20 7:35:29 PM #13 | The benny hill music. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | So lets say you have this time machine... |
| CaptainObvius 09/25/20 12:30:03 AM #8 | I would do most things similar. Just save up a little more money, maybe cash out my 401k. Then invest everything I can spare in cryptocurrency during the slump in March. I could at the minimum triple my investment. Then invest in YFI immediately and sell at the high point, roughly giving me 60x my initial investment. Then retire, wait for travel restrictions to lift, and possibly open a coffee shop if I wanted something to do. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Replace a word from a movie title with 'Butthole' |
| CaptainObvius 08/26/20 7:55:27 AM #166 | Mr. Magoriums wonder butthole A knights butthole Butthole vs. Predator Butthole of Frankenstein Final fantasy: butthole within --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Which Disney movie do you think had the best songs? |
| CaptainObvius 08/12/20 5:55:04 PM #6 | I can't pick just one, so top 3: Hercules, Mulan, and A Goofy Movie. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | How often do you buy a new couch? |
| CaptainObvius 08/12/20 3:55:06 AM #11 | My sister waits until a family member no longer needs theirs, and she fixes it up and keeps it. Its a good way to save some money. I only ever bought one, a nice leather sectional. So far it lasted 12 years, with some minor wear and tear. I am trying to get 15-20 years out of it. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Apparently... |
| CaptainObvius 08/12/20 3:51:14 AM #21 | Florida man indicted in fatal dog poop fight. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Has any person here ever been hit on by someone under the age of 18? |
| CaptainObvius 08/11/20 3:59:38 AM #29 | It happened a couple of times in my college years. I helped out as a maintenance worker in my old high school during college for some extra cash. And twice more that i remember, after i finished college and started a new job. That job tended to hire many high school students part time. I never reciprocated, i preferred the company of someone my own age. Especially when i turned 21 and could legally drink. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Dad Gives Away his Son's PS4, TV, Sneakers and his BED for being a BAD KID!!! |
| CaptainObvius 08/11/20 3:46:34 AM #38 | Depends on the sofa, sometimes i would rather sleep on my sofa over the bed. Still, i think giving away his bed set is a bit much. Giving away the TV, ps4, sneakers, sounds fair as he could have hurt someone else or himself. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | If you Won the LOTTERY, how would you REACT??? |
| CaptainObvius 08/09/20 10:35:32 PM #18 | Really excited on the inside, but outwardly calm. I would immediately sit down and make a step by step guide of what to do next. No quitting my job just yet, as it will negatively effect the other people I work with. Then when the timing is right, moonwalk out of there. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | how badly has your life been affected by covid? |
| CaptainObvius 08/07/20 7:44:42 AM #27 | 2/5. I work less hours, but somehow have to be more productive than ever. I am the person who delivers groceries to my grandparents at their retirement home on a regular basis, since they are still on lockdown. I work nights, so i normally grocery shopped at some 24hr stores around 2 AM. Most 24hr stores close at 10 PM now, making it difficult to do my shopping. I guess the only good thing that happened was lockdown inspired a bunch of my friends to start a d&d campaign. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Suppose you were forced to give up either N64 or PS1 games forever. |
| CaptainObvius 08/04/20 5:52:33 AM #15 | N64, no contest for me. Breath of fire 3, Brigandine, Azure dreams, Wild arms, ff7-9, suikoden, medievil, all some of my favorites that I would miss on ps1. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Do you add anything to pizza... |
| CaptainObvius 08/01/20 5:12:47 AM #23 | When i make them myself, i use: Pesto sauce, mozzarella cheese, Prosciutto, Kalamata olives, and artichoke hearts if i can find them. I borrow one of the stone deck ovens at work to make it usually. sometimes i substitute steak for the prosciutto and asiago cheese for mozzarella. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
| Topic | Most annoying insect? |
| CaptainObvius 07/24/20 11:20:54 AM #38 | Fleas, I hate seeing my dog uncomfortable when he gets them. Just glad his new pills seem to work better than the last ones. --- "Squeak"- Death of Rats, Discworld. |
