I'm conflicted if I want a pc handheld, a laptop or a desktop. I do want something to play good indies for cheap prices anywhere so a handheld would be nice. I don't know if the steam deck is now powerful enough for me.

What kind of indies, the 2D kind of stuff will run on any potato and the deck should be good enough for you.
 
what's the deal with ecosse_011172 and his alts

this guy comes on here spouting 10 year old reddit-tier gamergate takes, gets banned, then does it again.

Don't go anywhere near Reddit anytime soon. It's been overrun by people protesting Minnesota happenings. Even subs that have fuck all to do with that subject.
 
I might even start bouncing off Reddit these days. I prefer forums. How are all of you doing? I am still deciding on a handheld that isn't the Switch 2 (trying to use this for mostly exclusives). If Switch 2 had achievements, I'd probably get more third parties on there.
 
Question for any home owners on GAF (all the genz and most millenials can step out).

Has anyone here does insulation foam injections in any of your home's dry walls? Feels like some of my walls are not really that good at insulating the cold anymore (house is from the 70's) and rather than breaking down the entire fucking dry wall and add new insulation, I'm looking up how some places can do foam injections without breaking the dry wall. Supposedly cheaper as well.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Have you tried moving?

I've felt the difference that makes, but we're talking England in solid (and awkward) old concrete houses you need diamond drills for so I have no idea how it would be in yours. Can't be that bad though, can it?

You could get someone out for a quote then do research of the back of their input
 
Hey guys. I didn't know where else to ask this question so I'll ask it here. I recently discovered that my pokemon card collection is worth quite a bit. I would like to sell the collection but I have absolutely no experience selling pokemon cards. If i wanted to sell the entire collection, what would be the best way to go about it? I was thinking eBay but the collection is worth a good amount like I said and I'm not sure how fast it would sell on there because of the price, and that's selling at a small loss as well. The collection according to multiple sources online comes up to being a little over 30k in value. I just have no idea how to move cards worth this much. Like I know people spend crazy amounts on cards but it's kinda hard for me to believe lol. Thanks for any help in advance!

That stuff has quite a market now, so I would try to find some businesses that can help with valuing. They should be able to give you advice, and you can always get multiple opinions before you make a decision.
 
Thanks, man. I have several hundred of those ancient mew cards, all sealed and in great condition. I'm thinking now I'll start selling those one at a time on eBay. It'll be slow but I think that's the way to go about it, and I don't need all the money at once really. I just needed some time to think about it more.
 
I've been contemplating getting a better/more feature rich smartwatch but I'm afraid that it will end up setting off my hypochondria about my heart rate again. I've always had a higher-end-of-normal resting heart rate, but since my entire family has dealt with heart issues in the past (all due to smoking, a cycle I've broken), I fall into a cardiophobia anxiety loop easily. I got rid of my old Apple Watch back in 2021 because it made me obsess over my heart rate but I really do miss all the other features it had.

If you are a hypochondriac a health monitor is going to drive you crazy.
 
That's the plan, after the roads clear from the current snow storm (and another one expected this weekend) clears up a bit.
Get any further on this?

My home and home office (adjacent) have spray foam in every wall and all cavity spaces. When I say it makes all the difference I am telling you no lies. Just make sure you have good flow on your soffits or you will tap a ton of hot air in void spaces that have no way to move it.

No, got another round of snow over the weekend, lol.

Waiting for all this to clear and then i'll call a guy.
 
Being single in your 40's is not something I'd recommend. I'm single for the first time in basically 18 years, and the worlds changed since then. My last relationship ended last June, so I figured it was time to start putting myself out there. wtf. These apps are fucking disgusting with how much they want to charge for basic features like seeing who likes you.

I recommend putting yourself out there in the real world instead of on apps. Join workshops or classes that deal in a subject you enjoy. Sign up for random stuff to get yourself out of your comfort zone and try new experiences. Do volunteer work with animals. Chicks love that.
 
yeah i'm coming up to about a year on dating apps. it's an absolute waste of time. only matched with and spoke to two people so far...and it went nowhere. i've had quite a few more notifications that i had a match but when i go into the app it doesn't show up. not sure what that's about.

a tinder subscription was one of the included subscriptions with my bank account but i've changed banks now so it will expire soon. if it's anything like the other dating apps i've tried on a free plan then it'll be fucking awful and even more useless.

Yeah, I've had a handful of "conversations". I don't know if it's the competitive aspect or what, but we exchange messages a couple of times, and then that's it. I guess I'm supposed to do all the lifting? That's not how real conversations work, but it seems to be that way with dating apps.
 
Dating apps are for top 5-10% males in terms of specs (6'5 blue eyes finance meme). If you're outside of that range you'll have much better luck working on meeting people irl. On dating apps a 6/10 girl will get literally hundreds of messages from 9/10 guys.

I remember doing this around 2010-2016 A few of the light weight dating sites that existed from 2010 to 2014 were the best because the bots weren't everywhere. I even stayed in contact with 2 of the females I met on there, in a platonic kinda way. One is married while the other is living for her grandkids. I met them around that 2010-2011 range. My spouse messaged me because of a comment I made about my profession. I just said I was salary and that I knew another language. I don't think that's going to happen to most men. The paywall got larger once smartphones became a necessity. You're right about it being more for the top shelf kinda guy. The real females on that site either want you to financially support them right away or they've got way too many issues. My mother and my sister both met their spouses through unconventional methods, but this was before 2010. Back then it was eHarmony and the personal ads in the newspaper. It's always hard before you meet the right person.
 
I deleted my account yesterday after a scam attempt. I didn't fall for it. Alarm bells and red flags were there immediately but I'm not doing this bullshit anymore. The few real women on there don't talk more than a few sentences anyway

I deleted my account for reasons I don't remember. It was most likely frustration. I used Plenty of Fish to find my mouse. I have no idea how they turned out.

I just sent an email to Hamster Corporation. The classic arcade publisher on the eShop and PSN. I want them to port Gaiapolis. Gaiapolis only released in Japanese arcades.

I swear you wait long enough and you'll find a hidden gem or two that no one really talks about.
 
The cat distribution system needs to cut it out. I am not a wealthy benefactor who can save them all, as much as I wish I were. I swear there's a neon sign that follows me around saying "Cats welcome" that only cats can see.

Saved a poor little tortie kitten who was being ganged up on by larger neighborhood ferals this afternoon. It had lost half its tail in the fighting, was scratched up, and bleeding pretty badly. Thank God my usual veterinarian is a good person who takes cases like these on at his own expense.
 
Maybe I'm stupid but..

Trying to figure out RE7 gold on Ps5. I learned the DLC is a voucher and not on disc, which pisses me off. But the voucher in the case seems blank. One side has art depicting Chris, the other side is completely blank except a horizontal box on top that has no text in it. Checking the PsN store judt tries to sell me the End of Zoe DLC and whatnot. How do I access this DLC? Did I get a faulty copy with a blank voucher..?
