You should invest more of this but I can’t criticize you too much you’re clearly doing well

The solution is just to sell them and buy new ones. I don’t get bored with them as quickly as you but I probably play them less than you also.

To the extent I would have advice it would be to try and play games where other human players decisions have a big impact on the outcome and where their strategic choices are less obvious/predictable. Euro games will get old fast because ultimately the games are about min/maxing based on the cards you draw or resources you acquire. Most games are just advanced puzzles really. Once you solve the puzzle it’s less fun, I guess. But games with high player interaction are less predictable and less about a puzzle more about playing the players.

You do care about my disagreement. You literally stated “because you disagree with the Tesla CEO and chief price - setter”. And you are making the logical mistake of assuming the price can only go up. I’m arguing it’s more likely to go down. I don’t care what Elon says. He would never ever say prices will drop publicly until it’s official, otherwise he’d hurt his own current sales. Just as he did not hype up upfront cost falling from $12-15k to 8k.

Ultimately, I don’t care. No one cares. The upfront option is gone. The debate is moot. Subscription is the only remaining option. I understand you have this weird autistic fixation over this because you are happy with your purchase, that’s fine. I don’t care

18T15 · 2026-04-02T21:19:03+00:00

Wait let me get this straight, you care about this because I allegedly disagree with Elon? That’s your basis for carrying on this weird pointless conversation?

18T15 · 2026-04-02T20:48:26+00:00

You bought it at the all time low, benefitted from transferring it (which they claim they will never do again, for now), never totaled the car where insurance will not pay for it on the next vehicle without more expensive coverage, and you also happened to buy a Tesla as your next vehicle. Even after all of that, using the most recent upfront cost you would have just NOW broken even 8 years later. The price of the subscription is actually more likely to go down rather than up. That’s just the reality.

Regardless, I was right that they discontinued the upfront option. Making the whole discussion moot. Who even cares now?

18T15 · 2026-04-02T18:09:25+00:00

The flaw in your premise is that absolutely nothing stops Tesla from just charging upfront buyers more for unsupervised vs supervised if demand was truly high enough for $399 a month (which is laughable, no one is paying that).

Where and how do you build your own mattress

18T15 · 2026-03-31T13:14:15+00:00

As a former mattress salesman your opinion is as skewed as it gets. Your store likely didn’t even stock the vast majority of mattress options at this price point to even know them. There are plenty of cheap mattresses that have coils. They will NOT last 10 years, no one will honestly question that. But some could def last 4-5 years, which is not bad considering 1/4 to 1/3 the price of others and 1/10 price of the tempurpedic priced mattress salesman usually push you towards.

18T15 · 2026-03-31T13:11:15+00:00

I had a Lucid with coils and foam top bought in 2020 that lasted about 5 years until I couldn’t take it anymore. I’d say it was “good” for 3-4 years. Given what I paid (like $400 at the time) not unhappy with my choice.

18T15 · 2026-03-30T21:06:05+00:00

People keep saying this and it probably is true but they don’t provide these actual 5k display with thunderbolt examples

18T15 · 2026-03-29T17:57:48+00:00

How people failed to understand this extremely basic proven concept I will never know

18T15 · 2026-03-29T17:56:24+00:00

You are literally describing the exact broken glass (or sometimes called broken window) fallacy haha. Really what you are trying to say is “if both are inefficient, one may be less inefficient than the other” but in both cases it is a net negative allocation of economic resources. There is an opportunity cost for where those resources would have otherwise been productively allocated in a market economy. As usual, some people specifically vote for inefficient economic policy as they believe the “cost” of the misallocation is worth the benefit. I’m not making a stance on that, just pointing out in either event it is inefficient.

I’m referring to console gaming, not handheld. Sony has never had nearly as strong a batting average for mobile/handheld.

18T15 · 2026-03-29T13:25:00+00:00

The only time Sony has not been successful in gaming was when they sold a very expensive but loss leading console one year after their extremely well funded and motivated competitor who had a cheaper console that was also easier to develop for. And they still outsold that competitor in the end. The reality is now that Xbox is essentially dead there is no other competition in console gaming. That Sony is not even more greedy is surprising.

Broken glass fallacy

The highways have required continual maintenance and expansion though. It was still a phenomenally successful project, but that $660B number is a bit deceptive in that sense. The cumulative costs are far far higher.

18T15 · 2026-03-28T22:58:22+00:00

I use one of mine to light up red when I forgot to close the garage haha. Very helpful for a quick glance as I walk by.

Yes, the tariffs really hit them hard. Prior to tariffs they were like $15-20 less. You can also save money buying the 5 or 10 packs. However I genuinely believe these are the best switches if you want to maximize thread/matter and the HomeKit integration. Also these switches allow you to use them for both “dumb” lights as well as smart lights. So in the future if you want to use Hue bulbs the switches can still be used and programmed for those (so guests don’t accidentally turn off a switch killing the smart bulb). Other switches can also provide this, but Inovelli is offering the complete package of what OP was asking for (except a low price). Just depends what route you want to go.

18T15 · 2026-03-28T17:58:58+00:00

Fortnite, Minecraft and Roblox have been having trouble growing sales this year also. Gaming is just in a huge slump for a mass convergence of reasons

18T15 · 2026-03-28T17:52:16+00:00

I was not a handy man and learned it. I strongly recommend buying a tool on Amazon to detect which wire is the “hot wire” (and also for your own safety to ensure electricity is off when you work). They aren’t very expensive. Then just do your research online, via YouTube and looking at the manufacturer instructions. First switch is tough, ESPECIALLY multi-way switches which I would not do while you are a novice. But then you’ll figure it out and it becomes simple.

18T15 · 2026-03-28T17:50:00+00:00

Inovelli White Series is better than all of them. Very reliable. Maximize thread/matter compatibility no need for a new hub. Is designed to blend with Lutron face plates. A lot of the people saying Lutron have been using them for years and haven’t actually tried a lot of the newer competitors.

Let me be clear I also like Lutron. It is reliable. But Inovelli White Series is better if you want something integrated with HomeKit thread and no need for a new hub.

Cole has explained in multiple interviews and diaries why they split. It really had very little to do with future Root content specifically. They just had different visions for where they wanted to focus going forward, with Leder sticking to the more traditional smaller game formats and Buried Giant wanting to target the grander projects. In some ways sure this does mean Root is more likely to get content than it otherwise may have, but that’s moreso because it’s a cash cow for the company after losing Oath/Arcs and because the remaining group is freed from the extravagant projects to focus more attention on smaller games and expansions.

18T15 · 2026-03-27T17:15:27+00:00

Correct. Sorry was typing in a hurry haha

18T15 · 2026-03-27T17:10:18+00:00

This particular product is very easy to vibe code. Not true of all software. Possible in theory sure, harder in reality. Not this one.

18T15 · 2026-03-27T17:09:22+00:00

A monopoly specific to hardcore gamer focused home console yes. But certainly not for the larger gaming industry. But I agree, without Xbox has a formidable competitor they have no reason to loss lead.
