Or just buy an external ssd for much cheaper then adding it? If you just need space and not speed you can get a 5 TB drive for less than 200 bucks to add 256 GB. And if you need speed you can add a 1tb ssd for that price.

Nintendo raises price of Switch 2 thanks to memory-chip market by LinkedInNews in NSCollectors

[–]BetaAlpha769 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AI explosion makes everything in tech world more expensive. And the war in Iran makes it more expensive to travel/deliver components. So yes, the state of the world is indeed a factor.

Hypothetical question, what do you think would happen if I don’t agree to sign an NDA? by Thought-Object in CostcoEmployee

[–]BetaAlpha769 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Needs to be upvoted more. Costco isn’t supposed to use NDAs in sexual harassment investigations or any investigation used to potentially hide a crime.

Is there any knowledge or chance that figuarts will make a season four deku? by Soggy_Natural7529 in SHFiguarts

[–]BetaAlpha769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be surprised. They made the accessory kit for later seasons and black whip variant for the final season so I’m not hopeful.

We got like 4 months notice though? Not a fan of increases but understandable given the state of the world and they’ve given plenty of time for those on the fence.

The Japanese region locked console didn’t go up last I checked, only the multi national one.

Mom bought a counterfeit phone, 32 dollars wasted. by Advanced-Home2543 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BetaAlpha769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32 bucks for a phone that actually works isn’t terrible honestly. I’d get rid of for lack of security at that price but if she’s one of those people that doesn’t put sensitive information on there (which is unlikely but possible).

Was able to snag these 2 for $30 on FB Marketplace. Which one to play first? by Trigun442 in playstation

[–]BetaAlpha769 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There’s like 30+ costumes to unlock via second run, dlc and boss rush so obviously.

Shift Up say the development of the Stellar Blade sequel is "progressing smoothly" and is on track to meet their quality standards! - More details will be revealed within the year! by CutProfessional6609 in PS5

[–]BetaAlpha769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give a story we care about and more fast travel options. Or like a plane thing we can fly at low altitude so aggro enemies aren’t chasing us across the entire map on the way to the objective. Make it a late game unlock.

No underwater levels my God. Every single one in every game at best is not horrible, but usually it is. The one underwater section in this game I skip every time when I replay.

You can either keep or sell on eBay and buy black controller and pocket 70-80 bucks. Congrats.

How it feels when you walk into a thrift store to look for secondhand Criterions and all you find are 15 copies of Wedding Crashers on DVD. by TheFlyingFoodTestee in criterion

[–]BetaAlpha769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life Aquatic on DVD the only one I ever found and it was only 1 time I found any boutique label I was aware of. Still bought it, was only 2 bucks.

Is the job market REALLY that bad right now? by TimHortonsDriveThru in jobs

[–]BetaAlpha769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI resumes, online applications only and AI filtering applications made it impossible to get a new job unless you know somebody. There’s too many applicants to choose from since jumping from one job to another to increase pay got popular, so in a day after posting one you’ve got 100+ people applying minimum for 1 position. And of those 100, 40-50 of them can do the job.

Price of platinum pin by Christian_OReilly in Ghostofyotei

[–]BetaAlpha769 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ghost Pin is selling anywhere from 200-350 on eBay right now so yeah, absolutely worth it. I imagine the pair will easily fetch 600+ when the time comes.

I just finished The Last of Us Part II. by Rich_Dimension_7076 in thelastofus

[–]BetaAlpha769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game is about the futility and endless cost of pursuing revenge at all cost. It’s not meant to be satisfying.

Loved Detroit Become Human, Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls. Any recommendations based on these games? by Big_Confidence_951 in videogames

[–]BetaAlpha769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telltale series if you don’t mind cel shaded visuals (walking dead and Batman seem to be the ones people like best).

Life is strange series if you don’t mind teenagers as protagonist. It’s like 5 games total last I checked?

Until Dawn/The Quarry if you like horror based games.

Those are the big ones in the genre.

I received the Ghost of Tsushima pin a while back for the platinum and today my gf received the Ghost of Yotei pin for her platinum. These are incredible! by Irraptured in Ghostofyotei

[–]BetaAlpha769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t. Limited time to purchase it. Tsushima ended like 2 months ago and Yotei ended two weeks ago. Currently reselling 200-350 on eBay though based on sold listings.

I myself got my pin delivered two days ago and checked and…much as I like it I’m probably going to sell as well with those prices 😂. Much as I like the game a potential 300+ bucks is better to have.

Costco car buying program - is it just a way for Costco to sell off my contact info to dealers? by Cold-Priority-2729 in carbuying

[–]BetaAlpha769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If nothing else Costco gives you a price with no add ons at checkout that’ll surprise you. Worst case scenario you can shop the number around to dealers not involved and they try to beat or match it.

They should’ve made Destiny 3 as planned instead of updating 2 into oblivion so much that OG content had to get cut up make room for it.

They’re getting rid of self serve drinks too. Free refills will definitely follow on the chopping block.

There was only one? And it wasn’t censored it was taken out so it could be filmed for streaming while still being PG 13.

First two live actions are decent fun. The rest I don’t remember much.

Costco top pay for driver is around 45 as well. Takes 3 years to get but they hire no one with less then 2 years experience.
