From what I understand, it's impossible to buy a house in Del Bocca Vista. It's full. There's no houses for sale.

Yah. A lot of agents and officers will tell you that they get pretty good at compartmentalizing.

Not sure exactly how visible this will be, but I'd just like to throw my hat in the ring with a story about Dacvak. Dac and I used to hang out quite a bit back in the early 2010s, when he worked with another friend of mine.

I originally met /u/Dacvac at Otakon one year - I saw the guy working at one of the many retro video game sales booths. When I approached, I inquired about a Mother 1 cart and box in the display - the asking price was a little crazy for me, though. I felt bad asking him to show it to me without buying it, so I struck up a quick conversation about a billboard with Rage Faces on it. Dac was like, "dude, do you use Reddit too?" I responded with something to the effect of, "Yeah, I love that site!"

Eventually, Dac told me to find him working the booth on Sunday, and he'd hook me up. I was all, oh, okay. I didn't really think anything of it, as Otakon people tend to be pretty overly friendly to begin with.

I found him in the Dealer Room the next day, and true to form, Dac hooked me up. Mother 1, with cart, and all original inserts, mint condition. $30. I was absolutely floored - this collectable went for nearly $80 - $100 on the open market at the time.

The following summer, my friend invited me out for drinks, and Dac was in tow. I immediately recognized him and was like, "DUDE, YOU GOT ME MOTHER 1 FOR A STEAL." We ended up doing a couple podcasts together and drinking a bunch that summer.

Anyway, what I'm getting at it that Dac is one of the coolest and most passionate guys I have ever come across - he's pretty dedicated to helping people express their passions, and is about as transparent with his focus as they come.

When /u/Dacvac came down with leukemia, we ended up losing touch. (I blame the fact that Dac only used AIM for too long, lol) It's good to see that you at least got some time to make this redditness happen.

Sorry to see that you got jerked around, buddy. Reddit really passed up a goldmine of effort and dedication.

Star Trek royalties help us play!

Dennard, I'd like to buy your rock.
