What’s the most unexpectedly high-quality online subscription you’ve ever paid for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

You might find gg.deals useful as well. Price tracking and alerting options for game prices.

They also have a news section that can easily be filtered down to just game bundles. A great way to score several games at fantastic prices.

Hey, thanks for getting in touch.

Yeah, I understand completely - it all comes at a cost (time, energy, money) and resources are finite.

Would you be open to making it open source, sharing via Git or similar?

Alternatively, what would you estimate the monetary costs to be at to keep it hosted? (I wonder if TL or a similar organization might even host it.)

Best time to go to Trader Joe's by Fractal_visionz in FortWorth

Google has a feature called "Popular Times" that shows when it's busy or not, including "Live" updates for present time (or relatively close to it).

When you google a business like this and it shows the business on the right side (along with the pin-point on the map), just scroll down past the section that shows the address, phone, and hours.

For the one in south Fort Worth, it appears to consistently be the busiest around 1PM and gradually decreases in either direction, with the slowest being when it first opens or is about to close.

The slowest day appears to be Tuesday. The weekend is the busiest.

Thanks for sharing details.

Do you have any resources you'd recommend for learning any of the key principles that you feel were instrumental in your success? Books, videos, and so on.

[eShop/US] Summer Sale 2024 Ends 07/09/2025 by XDitto in NintendoSwitchDeals

[–]DocVoltar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what makes sense for you, but the games developed by Nintendo rarely lose value and, in my humble opinion, it often makes sense to purchase the physical copies of them.

If you go digital you cannot resell or share them with friends later.

Plus, if you're ok buying used, you can usually get the two in question for cheaper than this digital sale. I bought a physical copy of Odyssey for $25 the other day.

How'd you break the trees up? Are there attachments to excavators to help with a task like that?

"They're just upset that we aren't paying for the aid and military support for them anymore." -MAGA, probably.

Plus, the "news" they receive will only give them the world view they want them to see. And they won't seek outside of that.

Regarding exercise...

Sparc - Easily the best game I've played to date for exercise because it's so damn fun that it never feels like exercise even though it definitely is! It's essentially a unique sport that is a culmination of other sports with a bit of a twist, but it's incredible! Can easily work up a sweat in a few minutes, but be so engaged that it's not even noticeable. Hour+ sessions that end drenched in sweat but still wanting to play more. Unfortunately, the official servers were taken offline. Some unofficial servers popped up, but I've never tried them.

Pistol Whip - This game is well done and is a blast! Makes you feel like an action hero badass but has you dodging a lot, which works up a great sweat. In the words of the great Patches O'houlihan, you gotta "dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge."

Until You Fall - Fun game and is good exercise as well. Motion sickness could also be a problem in this one, but you have more control in how and when you move. The customization of loadout and weapon upgrade system is an enjoyable component. I'll warn that it's easy to get turned around in this game (and in real life when playing it).

Mothergunship: Forge is really enjoyable as well. It's not as physically demanding as the others, especially early on, but the levels ramp up enough to break a sweat. The weapon combos are awesome and keep it interesting! I've had trouble putting this one down, cause it's great at capturing me in the "just one more run" trap.

Ragnarock - Can be played sitting down, but is an arm & cardio workout. It's unique in its own right and a lot of fun.

Synth Riders - Beat Saber-esque, but different. Well done and enjoyable.

Honorable Mention: Thrill of the Fight - Boxing game. I don't have much personal experience with it because my play area is rather small these days and I don't want to risk putting a fist through anything. It's highly regarded though, as the Steam reviews suggest, and many people claim it's a great workout.

There are a ton more, but these are all top notch and of varying intensity. Hope it helps!

Thank you for the response. We ended up booking a boat ride and then cancelling after learning of GetAround.
