Re: Anyone switching to a credit union with what's going on?

This is somewhat off topic, but I found this interesting, a news piece from some time ago about the CEO of costco's pay vs his employees. He makes 12 times as much as a floor worker. It's still a lot, but much less disparate than probably almost every other company. ( http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Busi...

Re: Anyone switching to a credit union with what's going on?

Why would you assume that? Why would you assume otherwise? JT's point nonwithstanding, it takes a lot of effort to become a high level corporate executive. To JT's point, once you reach that point you're on the gravy train and can increase your wealth with relatively little effort, but also at that...

Re: Weird Gaming Associations

Lemonheads remind me of Suikoden II. When I was a young lad, I distinctly remember eating a box slowly while playing. Fruity Pebbles also remind me of Mario Party 4 - my friend and I got out of school at ~1pm one day on an early release, and spent the next 4 hours or so eating an entire box of fruit...

Re: Do PS2 Classics recognize USB controller input?

AFAIK, there was a patch some time ago that made this possible. I played through Sonic's Anniversary Collection with a USB saturn pad. (Sadly, the only way to quit a game in that was to press the select button, which that controller didn't have. So instead, you had to unplug the controller to bring...

Re: Dark Souls Hype Thread of Preparing To Die!

Are you guys doing convenants of any kind? I haven't found anyone that let's you join yet. My friend said there is one for the Convenant of the White in the Firelink Shrine area but I haven't seen them. I've only done three so far - there is the way of the white in firelink shrine, but I *think* yo...

Re: Working Retail Sucks!

I worked in Retail at a Gamestop for a few years. I have a lot of stories.
It may not be great, but at least you will have an appreciation when you shop for the people behind the counter

Re: Anyone switching to a credit union with what's going on?

I'm sure this has been stated, but as much as I agree with people being able to take their business to someplace whose practices they agree with, everybody doing a mass withdrawal from a bank is most definitely not a good idea, and it will create a headache for its customers. (Not that that's what's...

Re: Dark Souls Hype Thread of Preparing To Die!

I killed Ornstein first as well - his final form seemed to be way too much for me. In other news, I have a friend who informed me yesterday morning that he had gotten the platinum trophy in the game. What sword are you using for endgame or wherever you are? I stuck with the drake sword for longer th...
