I don't want to scroll endlessly over their "deals", which are not even good. I just find it to be time wasting and for people impulse buyers, it would create a fomo feeling, and result in unnecessary purchases.

Instead what ive been doing is, just collect stuff im interested in the wishlist, things I regularly buy, or what I wish to buy, and when one of these prime day hits, just check if there are any deals on the wishlist.

Spoiler alert, i track prices of my wishlist regularly, and the deals are not really deals.

I have a trimui brick, RG-SP and Retroid pocket classic on the way and possibly a future Nova. My plan is to just disable the internet once they've been setup reasonably well. Main systems include NES, SNES, MAME, FBNeo, Gamegear, Turbogfx, Megadrive and some PS1.

I just don't want to deal with further tinkering, or risk something break due to an update, or be vulnerable to some security flaw like a zero day exploit because the android version is not the latest and greatest. These devices will never see the light of the day for anything outside of the already excellent emulators setup to run the retro rom collections. The only thing Im interested but can miss out on is retro achievements.

I think the philosophy of a closed loop system appeals to me because, thats how retro systems were made before Internet. My famicom system or gba never saw internet. Im already exhausted keeping my pc, phone, console, TV, router, and a hundred different appliances upto date, heck even an electric toothbrush can get a firmware update these days.

After watching S3E8, I now understand why the nobility handled dragons. They had house names and reputations that were necessary to preserve their line of succession. These were real stakes that mattered. Becoming a turncoat traitor had real consequences where the house would forever be shunned in the 7 kingdoms. A title like "babekiller" or "kingslayer" carried real stigma.

But peasants like Ulf the white have nothing to lose, they can sell themselves to the highest bidder for not much consequence at all. Even a mere promise can sway their loyalty, and the one who promises can falsely do so, with no consequence either. No one cares if the word to a lowborn is broken. After using him as a means to an end, Ormund could have easily just killed Ulf and be done with him instead of wasting lordship and land on him. No one would have given a damn, or avenge him, or take it up as a matter of ill repute against the Hightower house.

Though Hugh was not a traitor like Ulf, he still caused a disaster by abandoning his post to look for his wife. A noble would have placed a bit more higher importance on the outcome of the battle.

I initially cheered with "More power to the people", then at the end Jacaerys and the small council on Dragonstone turned out right all along, about not giving dragons to random strangers.

Negative -55p/e for Spacex and their stock just went up 15% today, meanwhile under 6p/e for Micron that makes Spacex's yearly revenue in a single quarter is unable break the 900$ wall despite like ten positive catalysts a week. All the cyclical MFs will try to say, "but in the past this happened" even though MU has broken the cyclical pattern with strategic contracts, while spacex thesis is "Future Revenue from Mars or some shit"

Also this poser guy Burry should maybe short spacex, instead of companies bringing in actual revenue to back up their valuations

Which is your preferred platform/Launcher ?

I own games across all the three, and usually get the cheapest. But I do have a slight preference for GOG, because of being DRM free, so I can actually own the games. Steam for good deal deals, and especially if I want to stream to my TV/Phone via steam link.
