Y'all know *EXACTLY* the ones I'm talking about. The aspic, Hellman's mayo, lime jello &cheese where it doesn't belong. I always saw the pictures of them and visually they are interesting, but looking at the ingredients it sounds diabolical. Did your family or anyone you knew actually make these?

Ever since the no more disks announcement, I've been seeing a growing sentiment of no disk no buy. Now this in of itself I see nothing wrong I support this myself whenever I can, but the problem seems to be more attitudes towards don't buy PS games at all; and in some extreme cases people just selling or destroying their stuff.

Guys it doesn't have to be some either/or, if the disk is available secondhand you can still buy it, it's okay! I mean new releases were already expensive and have been buying used for ages, but still! We can't always stop everyone from buying games brand new at release, there will always be someone who doesn't know or care about the controversies. Will Sony get that money on the initial purchase? Yes, but we can choose to not support them and help out our used markets as well. And when indie studios aren't able to have a physical release or a physical is just WAY too expensive (looking at you, $300+ titles) it's a difficult choice, I can't judge you or the studio.

I hate how this conversation is starting to shift in certain areas of: you buy any game (even if it's used) and you're a bootlicker. You keep your system that you bought years ago and still play on it? Bootlicker. I don't know why it has to feel like some kind of do or die tribalism. You guys do you, but it's an annoying take. Anyway rant over, go buy that used ps5 game and don't feel bad. <3

Never been to this sub before I'm super sorry if it's been asked to death. I'm wanting to get myself some boots as a birthday treat. I love the shaker styles from Demonia, but I've seen a lot of people mention the quality is a complete crapshoot, which makes it much harder to justify that price 😬 . I'm completely open to looking at other brands, just seems hard to search specifically. Is there some brands that could be a good substitute? Oh and even better if they can come in wide sizes too.

Thanks so much in advance!

Like they somehow made the game's quality of life worse? gutted/changed scenes, no updated mechanics, graphics or the game just generally run worse somehow. Things like that.

I don't want to sound like a doomer or already defeated, but I can't help the thought creeping up. Our legislation has notoriously overturned and ignored several of our votes over the years. While I'm seeing tons of people against 4&5, the two outcomes I keep circling back to 1) enough idiots vote yes and it passes or 2) we all vote no and they overturn it anyway. I don't know how we can combat this. And I swear to God if "vote them out" is the only solution then we're screwed. This state will happily vote for Republicans over and over again. They would vote for a fucking cow if it had an (R) behind it. Although I might actually prefer the cow at this point.

So what comes after...???

I mean thank goodness I kept mine, but I want to buy a few later down the road for tinker projects and get one for my s/o. Looking online it's like 200 bucks for *a* broken one, I paid that new wtf! I know prices skyrocketed, but this is stupid. I'm looking at how popular modding DSs has gotten and now the announcement of PlayStation killing off physical copies, I'm wondering if prices will even go down if ever. I'm waiting to see if they'll go down next year for junkers, but honestly I'm not feeling too optimistic. Is this gonna be the new norm for the system?

I've been looking at listings in my area and there's quite a few foreclosed or listed as auctions. In the listings they specifically say no showings, no trespassing and showing up asking the residents to tour (which is understandable), and no pictures aside from the outside. These houses seem like a huge gamble and for someone who has bought one of these *TO LIVE IN, NOT FLIP* how did it turn out?

I usually have no problems having things delivered, but lately it's been back to back and it's been getting frustrating. I'm generally pretty patient with shipping, because I know sometimes things can take a good minute as long as I see some kind of update in the tracking. A month ago I ordered screen protectors and still nothing and since day one tracking was never really available (i just learned that 0004 numbers are just stamped pkgs) . I bought another set from a different seller and same thing, it's been over a week. Then I bought a replacement case last week. Tracking number created, but post office has not received item.

I think because it's been a recent thing and in rapid succession I'm feeling impatient, am I overreacting? Should I give it more time, touch base with the sellers? Or how much longer should I wait and see before I consider requesting a refund? I never had to do refunds before so I'm not exactly sure how to proceed.

Decided to look at my friend's joycon and it will not respond in handheld mode. It's only the left one and when you click it in and it'll make the sound like it's connected but it's actually not. The weirder part is it *does* still work perfectly fine off of it even if it has a little stick drift. I tried resynchronizing it and it worked once but never again after that. Opened it up and the ribbons were still intact, gave it a good one-over with the duster and still no response. Everything is just giving me "just re-sync it!" and that's not working. I'm not sure what else to try without breaking the whole thing down which I don't really want to do unless I have to.

Sorry if this isn't allowed, I checked the rules and it said nothing about these particular types of posts.

Might be a stupid thought, but with so many fakes and cart swaps floating around, why has there never been a website built around checking what codes are legit? Like select your region and the game and it gives you the official PCB numbers depending on the batches. It seems like it would cut out a good chunk of the guesswork? My guess is it would be quite the undertaking to get all that info and building the site along with maintaining it. Do you think this would be helpful or still too unreliable as a verification source?

I like to tinker and play Frankenstein with electronics. I'm glad I still kept my original *New 3DSXL, but I wanted to buy a junker to play with but also have something to pull from if I needed to fix mine. Looking on eBay they are roughly 150-300$ for a *new. It seems a bit absurd to me for a junker, but maybe that is the going rate for broken? Idk, 3DS prices are so insane right now I don't know what a reasonable price is. And yeah it could just be "whatever I'm willing to pay", but I don't want to be ripped off either. I'm still checking around locally don't worry, but I'd just like an idea for the online market.

Realistically I don't see them going down anytime soon if they ever do even...
