Sometimes I think it's good to step away and 'detox' yourself from gaming. I've met some great online acquaintances, but over time, we've lost touch or they've stopped playing the same game, which is sad, and I always come back to my real world friends who are always there for me 🙂 )

Definitely an ugly home in a beautiful neighborhood. If you know real estate, you'll learn that it's not what YOUR home is worth - it's what OTHER homes are worth, which is what determines your home's worth. You can be one block way on the other side of the tracks and have totally different home comparables. It's definitely much better (at least in the real world) to have a smaller home or uglier home in a neighborhood filled with larger, prettier homes because their home price per square foot will raise yours up.

What life skills are rarely taught but extremely useful?

Finance In schools, if you go to a college of business, they teach you corporate finance and macro-economics as if you're going to be running the economy one day LOL. But they don't teach you actual everyday human finance like mortgages, credit cards, FICO scores, budgeting, taxes, etc. -
Marvin Gaye is awesome! For relaxation music, I usually do some lo-fi beats

The connection between Religion and Politics
CharlesK replied to Knight Barida's topic in Debate, Politics, & Religion
This is a spicy topic! At the core of politics and religion is a certain ethos. That ethos often overlaps (whether it should overlap is a different question; the reality is that it often does overlap). This is why American is often referred to as a Judeo-Christian political system: our founding ideals and documents were rooted in divine Providence ... principles like: Reliance on the Providence oof God Law of God forms basis of good human laws Religion and Morality form basis of Liberty The equality of Man And so on. -
Steam Addresses the Possibility of Passing on One's Library Through a Will
CharlesK replied to Kane99's topic in Gaming Forum
"You take your Steam games with you to the grave IG, LOL" Thsi is the reality of our modern paradigm of ownership, where you don't actually own anything, you license the right to play the game (over your lifetime!). Also, I will add, if you're worried about your Steam games in your will, maybe you ought to worry about some other things in your life. Maybe? -
Check out what Sony thinks gaming and tech will look like in 10 years.
CharlesK replied to Kane99's topic in Gaming News
This was a mismash of a lot of creative ideas, and they're all very futuristic but it's interesting. For example, from what I saw in the video, they had everything from a 3D simulated environment, handheld devices, billboards, an entertainment park, etc. I think the ones that are most likely to come ot consumers are the wearables, handheld, and thin-devices. They're the same things as what we have today with our controllers, smartphones, glasses, and more, but thinner and easier to work with.
