Found one on Amazon open-box for $41 in "acceptable" condition and it's practically brand new! The camera control even still had a pull tab over it lol

This sub made me think I was about to drink nectar from the gods with this flavor when in reality it's just "okay", no distinct flavor profile for me. Give me 7-Up any other day of the week!

How does Higurashi compare overall to this?

I somehow have made it this far in life without having virtually anything about Higurashi spoiled for me. Meanwhile I've been familiar with Umineko since the anime in 2009 and it's virtually the greatest thing I've ever read lol.

The only thing I know is that Bernkastel is somehow related to both, but I'm not quite sure how.

Is there a bunch of different versions like with Umineko or can I just download whatever 07th Mod has cooked up for it and call it a day?

Seems like the first episode is on Steam so I'll start reading soon, just wanted a second opinion in the meantime. Let me know what you think, thanks!

(I got a) Mint-condition Ally X + accessories for $600 even.

Had a Steam Deck OLED that I had to sacrifice earlier this year (thankfully after the value went up) but now that I'm back in the handheld market I noticed that the Xbox Ally was the new value handheld.

Still, I tried an Ally X back in 2024 and only returned it because I was happy with my OLED. Now that the Steam Deck was not a great value anymore I started searching for the Ally X once again. Just in time for semi-official Steam OS support, too!

I've since replaced the screen protector with a fresh one and opted for the Skull and Co. Grip Case combo, but otherwise this is the Steam Deck OLED successor I didn't realize that I wanted.

The Xbox Ally X looks nice but at almost twice as much idk if it was worth getting brand new. On a slightly more petty note, I'm glad there's no Xbox branding on the Ally X heh heh. Was able to reconfigure the buttons to Ally X branded ones pretty quickly.

I'm still curious about the Legion Go S Z1; my monkey brain misses the OLED's larger screen and native hall effect sticks sound nice, but my executive brain tells me "it's a handheld stupid you want the bigger battery" and "you can fix it if something goes wrong since you've upgraded one before". In the meantime however, still pretty happy with this one for now.

New and sealed M1 Air for $600 new worth it?

Need a Mac fast for the office because my iPad is allergic to multiple Excel spreadsheets and can't connect with my office's printer as reliably. Also want a dedicated typing laptop so I can finally finish my novel.

Contemplating getting one on FB Marketplace from a lady who hasn't sold hers in a week, and I was going for the Neo initially but now that it's $700-$800 I'm hesitating again. Might even be able to convince her to sell for $550.

I know, I know, 6 year old laptop this year. But IIRC they kept making M1s until recently so I don't think this is necessarily a 6-year old device on its own

Witnessed a fatal accident with a pedestrian trying to cross Route 22 today.

Happened right between the Qdoba and Chick-fil-A in Union in 22. I was in the far right lane when I saw a heavy set lady walking relatively slow across during a lull in traffic. I was concerned about her making it across and sure enough, car in the far left lane hit her going full speed. There was a car in the center lane that blocked peripheral vision and he probably didn't see her until it happened; she probably couldn't see the left lane car, either. Police and paramedics arrived within minutes but it was pretty obvious that was not looking good at all.

Fucking hell, knew it was only a matter of time. Crossing 22 on foot at any time is certainly a choice, let alone at 7PM on a major holiday weekend. Unfortunate situation for both involved; driver looked pretty devastated.

Here’s the first article I saw reporting on it

While they're at it.......

Wonder if we could expect any BBDW characters to be ported over to CF. Sure, there were a lot of recycled characters and a lot of OCs but there were also some exclusives to XBlaze and the VNs that we never got, like Tenjo, Mei, Saya Terumi, Acht, and Kuon to name a few. Hope this might be the start of full playable versions of those!

Gaps in the border around the screen?

Left side has the gaps whereas the right side is flush with the frame.

I'm not trying to stress over a $700 laptop that I paid $579 for open-box, but I'm also not a huge fan of indigo so if this is indeed unusual then I'll consider looking at a different color. Haven't seen this on the latest Pros or Airs ever since they went to Vietnam production so I was wondering if this was the exception or if this is indeed a defect or sorts. Let me know what you think, thanks!

Is the Slice Sauce room-temperature safe?

Got it with my pan pizza last night but didn't end up using it and it was left on the table overnight. I saw them take it out of the refrigerator so I was a little concerned. I don't see any "keep refrigerated" on the label so I wanted to be better safe than sorry. Let me know what you think, thanks!

Had to happen right when it started raining and my dash cam was slightly off center so it wasn't facing the road as much as it could've. Fucker was either drunk or fell asleep because he hit my shit at a whopping 20-25 miles an hour no acceleration. Still enough to completely ruin the back door and the moulding, fuck me.
