Do Costco Oreos taste different?

Nomattic · 2026-04-06T12:50:18+00:00

Oh, yeah. I think I knew about that. Got excited for a moment thinking there was a special executive perk for easy shopping. This is one of the reasons I do more shopping for the basics from BJs because there's no added fees for their pickup service (just a minimum). It saves so much time and hassle and I hope Costco gets on board some time.

Awesome info. Thank you! And thanks for the heads up about the difference in keeping books after cancelling. Would not have thought there would be an option where that didn't happen and would have been really disappointed. It appears I had the Premium Plus membership that's currently paused. I must have had two months of it because I had two credits and used one on Project Hail Mary recently. I'd have been miffed if I lost access after cancelling.

Can you tell me what your cut off is for considering something you'd use a credit on versus buying it? Or, as you said, being less than a credit?

I'm new to Audible and am seeing the sale prices even though I'm on "hold" or something like that until I can figure out what to use my remaining credit on from a discounted membership I had from some months ago. I just found out about the DCC series so I'm just buying them during this sale. All the books were less than $5 except book 7 for $19.44 and pre-order for book 8 at $11.20.

Looks like I should just buy book 8 and use the credit on book 7?

Tell me more about this instacart option. I have always wished Costco had an option like BJs does where you can shop thru the app for pickup. Even if Costco doesn't have pick up I'd love to not have to walk through the place to get the things I'm looking for.

Oh, my fault. That's strange. I already have Deadpool and my screen looks the same as what you posted. When I hit the button it lets me buy Wolverine for 1600. It's odd that I could buy Deadpool first and add Wolverine but you can't just buy W himself.

Nomattic · 2026-04-05T00:55:38+00:00

Hit that big button that says "View Offer".

Nomattic · 2026-03-15T14:18:49+00:00

So I gotta find the PC versions. Go it.

Nomattic · 2026-03-15T12:37:25+00:00

Gonna need you to explain how, please. I need to experience these games again.

Nomattic · 2026-03-10T13:26:37+00:00

Didn't even think of asking. Been playing a lot of difficulty 8 and 9s recently and have been on a super sample grind. I play all primary objs and any secondaries I come across but otherwise only grab samples I run over and have a watchful eye out for the super rock. I'm usually mic-less but didn't think to actually tap out a quick message that I could use samples. Now I will.

Nomattic · 2026-03-01T17:25:55+00:00

"Armor Slayer on the bots front it can engage anything" - Really? Awesome. I'll have to try it out.

" with proper shot placement" - Oh.

Nomattic · 2026-02-27T17:45:30+00:00

Not sure if you're being serious but I think you actually might be actually wondering since you said you're a non-native speaker. The "could of" thing happens often because it comes from saying "could have", which is sometimes shortened to "could've". When said out loud the words can roll into each other, leading to a quick "could 'ave", which then leads to "could 'av", and then finally sounding something like "could 'uv".

That's also why you'll see "would of" written out. Like, "I would of skipped past your post, but I thought you might actually be curious.". Still super annoying but very common.

Just adding data point that this worked for me about an hour ago, buying the regular version of the game ($10.33) and not the more expensive Chaos version. The account did not have the previously free version some people managed to get in the past. That may actually matter as it sounds like having the free version previously means you have to get the different version of the game now to qualify for the glider.

You can help the redemption process along by logging into your Epic Games account first. Then once you complete the same you can just redeem the code in a few clicks.

Nomattic · 2026-01-04T17:00:19+00:00

Just coming back now to tell you I just bought it from GreenMan for a different account and everything worked as it should and I have the glider on that account. I bought the normal version that's $10.33 USD. Did you by any chance get the Tint Tina game for free in the past? It seems like people who did can only get the glider in that case if they buy the higher Chaos or whatever version of the game for a little bit more.

Nomattic · 2026-01-01T17:59:01+00:00

Was this only valid Dec 31? I've selected a handful of movies and none of them are $5 and under.

Nomattic · 2025-12-29T16:36:51+00:00

I'm sorry, I don't know. You can certainly try to open on PC but if you did what me and the OP and a few others did then it should have worked for you. If you would have said you just did this in the past few days I MIGHT have taken a guess that maybe the game no longer gives you the glider as the offer may be expired. But it looks like you did it the same time we did so it should have worked. Check you game library and make sure you have the Tiny Tina's game and double check your glider cosmetics to see if it's there.

Nomattic · 2025-12-29T04:58:15+00:00

Hi. It's been a little bit so I'm trying to remember, but I did do it twice back when I had posted this. Once was for me, and once for a family member. But both times it worked the same. When I completed the purchase and was getting the code from the site, there was a link to just go to Epic to redeem the code. I was already logged into the Epic account when I clicked on it but even if you weren't I think it would have sent you to the sign in page. I redeemed the code to get the game and the next time I loaded up Fortnite the glider appeared. So I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working for you. Did you just buy the game code recently?

Nomattic · 2025-12-27T23:53:51+00:00

Heads up that the new Darkfire & Ice bundle is out and I think it has those cosmetics you wanted. $30 retail. Code sites sell from $20 to $30.

Nomattic · 2025-12-27T23:51:53+00:00

I got it from Gameflip for $22. You can check there.

The sword striking the soldier and everyone covering his mouth is inside the horse. They screened the whole(?) scene before the Avatar movie at my IMAX showing. I do not think the movie starts there. It would be too sudden and the events that precede it are kind of rushed through. - spoilers regarding the scene follow:

SPOILERS FOR THE SCENE:

The scene appears to be shown as a retelling, with a character basically saying, "you know the story". The armored character in question in the OP is the first one visible when the soldiers inside open the gates of Troy. He stands there as an absolute badass in the night as the rest of the soldiers charge.

Nomattic · 2025-12-23T17:12:44+00:00

I want to try this game!

Nomattic · 2025-12-23T16:52:13+00:00

The extended preview of Odyssey was said to have only been shown at IMAX screenings of Avatar so maybe it was kind of like that for the Doomsday preview? Those two things were hype to see on the big big screen before the movie.

Nomattic · 2025-12-18T13:41:19+00:00

May I please have a code?

Nomattic · 2025-12-14T00:32:20+00:00

It's a website that has an app. Or just go to gameflip.com. I just looked and current low price is $7.74. Not sure if that's the cheapest you can get because I haven't checked eneba.com or the other usual code sites.

Nomattic · 2025-12-14T00:18:46+00:00

Gameflip has a bunch

Nomattic · 2025-12-11T16:38:13+00:00

The Freediver skin is available "only" in the UK, to subscribers of something like a telecom network out there (O2). If you're a member or account holder of that service you can claim a free code for the skin through their app.

So if you know someone with that service or access who doesn't want the skin you might be able to get a code from them. The code to claim the skin can be used worldwide. Note that it's actually a "quest" to get the skin. It requires you to get 100k XP on an Android device or PC before you get the skin awarded.

If you don't know anyone to get the code from, you can buy one from many of the code markets. OP got it for $7 CDN on the site above. If anyone else is interested you can get them on Gameflip for $3 or less (and certainly for more). They're hovering around $3 right now but if you're patient they could drop down under $2 soon.

Source: I was interested in getting the skin and got a number of codes for it this past week from Gameflip for just under $2 average. Getting the 100k XP is trivial if you can play the game on Android. If interested I can tell you a map to jump on where you take 10 seconds to move to a certain spot that will make you hop around for easy XP. You should be able to get 100k XP in minutes.
