    I personally appreciate ports of older games! The fact that you can actually purchase a physical copy instead of a digital copy makes me happy 🙂

    I think the recent slew of ports is not so much an LRG thing as it is that there is enough interest in classic gaming. It was Konami that released the Felix the Cat Collection for the PS Store and Switch Store --

    Also, the digital copy is $25 -- and LRG is charging $35 for the physical edition. A no-brainer decision to me!

    Eh, It just comes off as lazy me. If they got something substantial added to them like the Atari collection got when it released or something, I could be more excited. As it is now they just slap the rom on a cart.

    As for LRG's recent announcements, here's the stuff I'm finding interesting:

    Ninja Five-O is just a lazy emulator release (that's what "Carbon Engine" means), but for anyone who wasn't lucky to snatch a copy on GBA when it was possibly to get for human money, this is good news.

    Hi-Fi Rush has been a Microsoft exclusive until now, so getting a PS5 port is awesome, and LRG are putting out physicals on both PlayStation and Xbox.

    Im thinking lazy ports of older games is the future of LRG. Well, the present too but it’s become more obvious to me

    Hot dang.... this one is $400 CAD.... 🙈 I do believe #2 and #3 are there as well. Most are ~$20, but <#20 and they jump. I just paid $70 for #6 😆

    I grabbed a bunch (6, 11, 13, 18, 22, 24, 27, 36, 55) at some lower prices. Took some in worse shape, but most had posters, etc. I averaged them out to about $20 each so I was happy about that. I did balk on the #1-3, though. I think they would have been like $600 for all 3.... sssssooooo..... I left them for now. 😳

    Yeah, I hear ya on the lot deal. That would be best.

    Just happened to come across some at the local video game shop.  I'm trying to get as many as I can in the NES/SNES Era. As soon as it jumps into N64 I'm out.

    I've got one "later" issue (#69) and they change the cover design to a more "90's"/"hardcore" aesthetic which I really don't like. Plus as the magazine gets away from the NES games, I'm not so interested.

    I went with the end of N64 as my cutoff. So I have issues 1-150. I could never stand the Gamecube. I think 150 is the one that has Luigi on the cover that says “It’s here” on the cover or something like that. Or it’s the last one that has the logo on the corner showing it covered something N64 related. I forget.

    Ive always been meaning to see if there was an issue that covered Tony Hawk 3 for N64 since that came out much later than issue 150 but haven’t gotten around to it

    last time i was paying attention, the going rate for #1 in decent shape (with the poster) was about $100 US. But that's been a few years so has probably gone up. most of the other early issues were quite a bit less expensive. With a little looking, $20 would secure you most of them. i think #2 still held a premium, but significantly less than #1. Obviously VERY beneficial to grab lots when buying the early mags.

    Dam, Glad I grabbed the first 10 issues in a lot back in the day for like $75

    Any real estate loan experts out there? I have some very specific questions

    I think there are state specific rules in play here as well so it might be helpful to list what state you are curious on

    Your first question I would speculate that after you are given the loan it won’t matter much how many occupants live in the house as long as the mortgage gets paid. On the second I’ll again speculate that if you have access to the account/money it’ll still count as yours whether or not the joint owner lives in the property. The fact sheet also says they only look at income but you are probably right to assume they look at assets as well when determining the subsidy granted. 
     

    They have a neat eligibility assessment tool here which may answer some questions for you as well

    https://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov/eligibility/welcomeAction.do?pageAction=assessmentType

    Yea Ive gone through the tool and read all the documents I can find. They don’t answer these two key questions. There’s no way I can make any assumptions on a government program, it’s a good way to get screwed.

    Im in NJ and I know what the income limits are and they’re very clear that any adult in the home will count towards the income limits but they are very unclear on occupancy changes. What’s to stop someone from just saying “yup only me moving in.” and then bringing a sibling in a week later? 

    The second question is much more important. Because your assets are not used to determine the loan amount they’ll qualify you for. There are asset limits (the exact number Im also having a hard time pinning down). If you exceed said limit then you’re required to use anything in excess of the limit towards the purchase of the house. Which kinda defeats one of the benefits of this loan type which is 0% down payment, but whatever.

    So if the limit is 15k and you have 17k is assets across various checking/savings accounts. Then you’re required to use that excess 2k. 
     

    Now if you have a joint account with someone that can be a problem, because theoretically all of what’s in that account may is not fully yours. If that person were to live with you, all fine and dandy because all their stuff goes into the calculation anyway. But if they don’t then is the whole amount still considered your asset and you would be required to use said funds? Then you could be digging into funds that aren’t “yours.”

    I would just ask away, even if someone on the internet says they are an expert I’d still not treat it as any more than speculation. You pay experts for their advice lol

     I guess, you have a point. So my questions are:

    The incomes of all adult occupants are taken into account for the loan amount/approval. But what happens some time after the purchase of the home and the occupancy number changes (marriage/divorce/death/etc)

    When looking at assets, how are joint accounts considered when one of the account holders won't be one of the occupants?

    I put everything into a new box and it's on its way to @koifish! Choo choo!

    I took some dope stuff and left some dope stuff. Here's my haul:

    I also took out a handful of games that show ~5 bucks or less on PC, to reduce filler and make more room for killer. If anyone wants anything here, just let me know and I'll send it to you.

    Since you took the PGA manual you know that means your required to beat that game for the N64 thread now right?

    well shucks, I missed this by a good week. Is there a way to get pinged for the next one that happens?

    When I start a new round I go back to previous threads and ping anyone involved. So you’ll get notified of the next one. It’s Usually only like twice a year. 
     

    If you want I can tack you on to the end of this one

    I'll do you one better, I'll just keep everything @LeatherRebel5150 puts in the box, carte blanche, and mail you an empty box. You're welcome!

    Honestly, a big swap out would probably be pretty good. I try to remove a bunch and put in new stuff from my pile, but at some point my pile is just the stuff from previous boxes and not much new stuff that I can swap in/out.
