Mines modded and has like 500+ games and I had a modded one in college that we lived on. And had there's a lot, I'm counting handhelds in there too but I think I only have four of those anyways. I think somewhere I have a list of everything I plan on getting and it's about 15 more. But with pong consoles and variants and stuff, I could go forever. Room I'm using is already pretty packed though I have a friend that has one of those. I still don't understand how they can get all of those games on there and I couldn't save 2 Madden franchises on a memory card. I don't know how to computer good. Did anyone ever play Joust? I like Joust. And Centipede. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatKing Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Anyone here in construction/real estate around the Madison/Milwaukee area? The last year has been insane for my business, I've never had to turn down more work. Granted, I've only been doing it for about 10 years but it seems like everyone in the state is trying to build a house right now, why is that?

I’m in the field; It doesn’t help that every construction company is struggling to maintain 50% crew size add in never before seen lead times and everything is going very slowly. The third factor is people aren’t using their expendable income on food/drinks and vacations, instead the influx of people working from home and just people spending more time at home than ever before, everyone is wanting to do the projects they had only talked about for years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is ready to boom, but you can't get raw materials and you can't get labor. I'm in sales/engineering for manufacturing. Record year last year, but record lead times and every employee doing the work that probably 2.5 people should be doing. That end of year break that lets you recharge never came, carried my burned out tiredness into the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have product sitting in a Texas port that I can’t even get trucked out of the port… been 3 months and My company does $140 billion in sales… if anyone had muscle to make things happen, we would, I can’t even imagine what small companies are dealing with getting product.

If it was my company I probably wouldn’t be on this forum, I would of hopefully be spending this week following the playoffs from the owner’s box wondering who my team was playing next week. (Coincidentally, company founder does in fact own a team) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
