My guess would be the phone case or anything else you’re in high contact with made out of a rubber composite type.

Yup. Black Friday and Amazon’s Prime Day are complete bullshit. I found out early when I saw a monitor I was tracking raise in price drastically then ‘drop’ to a sale price for Black Friday. When people wisened up to that companies started playing the ‘model number’ game, where they release the same TV or device but with a different model number to specifically skew prices and act like you’re getting a deal. It’s probably one of the best examples of late stage capitalism I’ve seen.

The point was that Crumbl is shit, not the socio-economic choices I make when eating cookies.

I’m of the opinion that Crumble is only successful due to marketing and viral advertising from insta models. Just to double down on what you stated already: Their cookies are shitty, crumby, over sweet garbage that tastes like something out of the bargain bin at Dollar General. Actually, no. I’ve had delicious cookies from Dollar General. Bargain bin at Walmart bakery.

Right. But we need to at least hold companies accountable and get them moving in the right direction. Currently they don’t give a shit. Single use plastics are ridiculous right now, at least in the US. Unnecessary and can easily be replaced or simply not used.

How about just find a way to properly dispose of it and move on to something better / more reusable? Plastics are bad on several levels, the most horrifying in recent memory being micro plastics literally invading every part of our bodies.

I noticed this literally on the first Prime Day. Items on my list were ‘on sale’ and I was lucky enough I’d just looked through my list 2 days prior. Nothing had a deeper discount. It’s literally all fabricated to push the trash out they’re trying to get rid of, and push you to buy items you’ve been looking at. There’s not even a thin veil over it. Honestly been thinking of cancelling Prime because even the shipping has been bullshit lately.

They know exactly what they’re doing. They’re never ignorant of this shit, it’s 100 percent intentional. So much for not being evil.

Do you have recommendations on brands or general pricing info?

Back in the day when game bundles werent a super common thing, Humble Bundle was the absolute GOAT when it came to acquiring a massive amount of titles for cheap as dirt. The best part too was you could choose how much of your donation went to different places. I realize its like that now as well but theyre a mere shadow of what they once were. There were so many times I would see 1 or 2 titles I wanted, pick up an entire bundle, then later find 1 or 2 indie diamonds in the pack I wasnt expecting.

Okay thats a level of crazy I never thought Id see. Trading in digital items for enough cash to buy a freakin VR set. Madness. Congrats!

That js so weird. You playing on PC or a console? I feel like Im more prone to it on console due to look settings.

Oh you can solo the entirety of Raft no issues, on any difficulty. I’ve done a few playthroughs as I’ve had it since it first went into early access. Haven’t done the harder difficulties, but did Normal, Easy, and Peaceful. All doable solo. Have fun!

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks for the suggestions!

Has anyone else played Rimworld? I picked it up but feel like Im lost. Ive watched a couple vods and seem to be doing everytjing correctly but idk. Just seems like Im nit advancing or maybe missing something??

I dove back into Division 2. Played the heck out of it on release but the RNG was just so fucking bad. Like…not D4 bad, but pretty close. Now the game is a lot more relaxed, and in some cases will allow you to select the type of loot youd like, as a percentage chance when rare loot drops. Anyway, besides that I’ve been spreading my democraseed in Helldivers 2 with some friends. Blows my mind we are doing Suicide on a normal basos now when that used to be a wet dream. Not a brag, I just usually cant hack it in shooters anymore. I also have Raft in the rotation. Really good zen game that I highly recommend. Can usually pick it up for cheap too.

I do ‘light’ software development for a SAAS. I use a single ultra wide. It has PiP settings so I can display my personal if I’d like while working, or have everything displayed on the work side as a triple window or dual window setup. The flexibility is great but overall ultra wides are still niche and a general pain in the ass. Good luck getting any game to run more than 90fps when you’re pushing a 5k resolution and 240 refresh.

Rice cooker you should definitely get if you eat rice on a normal basis. You can get them super cheap like $20
