My Goodwill haul today

I stopped checking Goodwill because most locations either have no games or charge way too much. It’s gotten especially bad since COVID.

There used to be a Goodwill in North Austin with a separate used electronics store that had GameCubes, Wiis, PlayStations, controllers, computers, and more. Sadly, it disappeared around 2022–2023.

Since then, I’ve mostly hunted on eBay and ShopGoodwill, but even those have gotten ridiculous with auction prices and shipping.

Today, I randomly stopped by my local Goodwill and, despite seeing the usual Kinect Adventures and sports games up front, I checked the back DVD/book section. To my surprise, I found around 20 PS2 games for just $2.99 each. I grabbed everything worth taking, even leaving behind a few decent Guitar Hero 1–2 copies.
I called my dad to use his 30% senior discount, and I ended up paying around $40 for everything below.

Summer Moon prices are getting insane now

Hey, just wanted to see if anyone has noticed how the already pricey coffees at Summer Moon have gone up. Last time I went I remember noting that my speciality iced coffee was more than the espresso milkshake which was still below $6 for a 16oz. Now I went after several months and noticed all of their items including the basic iced mocha is now $6.45 for a 16oz.

I know everybody on reddit is gonna mention politics but just wanted to post my observations with their politics aside. I never go anymore because it was already very expensive but now I probably won’t ever return.

Austin store info

Hello,
Does anyone have an idea if the BRICKS AND MINIFIGS store in Austin sells figures? I went to another store out of state and got one for a STEAL. They had STAR WARS figures which I am most interested in. Regular LEGOS are not interesting to me. Coming FROM an OLD MAN like me I am just a little past the age to enjoy the legos.

Random misfire on 2000 Camry/Solara 2.2l

Hello,
I have posted here before but I still cannot fix/diagnose my p0300/p0301/p0302. I’ve tested and replaced multiple things and have done tons of research even on old Toyota threads. Nothing has helped.

The vehicle previously had a timing belt broke from a bad tensioner pulley as well as bad injectors that were replaced several times.

I recently performed a compression and fuel pressure test. Fuel pressure was not easy to test and took a long time to figure out how to connect the test kit but everything tested normally. I have used a smoke test to find any vacuum leaks as well as setting up a tube to listen for leaks. Nothing was found. I have cleaned the EGR and throttle body, replaced the IAC, replaced all spark plugs multiple times and well as wires, etc etc. Nothing has stopped it from running rough and having a clear 1 and 2 misfire. The vehicle will almost die out when driving or reversing at low speeds when parking. It mostly has a throttle dip when first pressing the accelerator from a stop. I could not add a video of that happening.

Please if anyone can help get some answers.
