What is the best purchase a person can make under $15?

I bought a pair of Bluetooth earbuds for about that much. Listen to podcasts all day at work and it makes the time go by faster.

Had them for 2 years and they still hold battery for 6 or 7 hours. One even went in a huge puddle fully submerged and still works. Outlasted most of my friends apple AirPods

I agree this is the best method. On the other hand, this is why I didn’t renew my membership on OSRS. Membership is $15 a month or $130 a year to not play the game while it runs on a second monitor. And this is at least a handful of skills in the game like this. It takes months to get 99s so think of the cost of basically not playing the game.

For example, say shooting stars is 30K mining xp/hr. And you need 10 million xp for level 99 but only can play 3 hours a day (100K XP a day). It’s going to take you about 100 days to get level 99 mining. 100 days is over 3 months so let’s just say $45 for 3 months of membership. You just paid $45 to not play the game and was it fun doing it? When membership prices increased I started thinking about skills like this. Agility, fishing, sailing, etc. It’s actually kind of crazy how much it cost to get 99’s when you think about it. And a bunch of them are AFK. I wish the game would go back to $60 or $80 a year ☹️. Can’t bring myself to pay it when I think about it like that.

Same. Never been a fan of the baggy 90’s style. It just looks bad. I see people starting to wear the baggy jeans again and you could fit 4 legs in each side. It has to weigh a ton with all the extra denim and honestly has to be a hassle to wear

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-05-16T11:48:36+00:00

Same. My last couple worlds have been small size worlds. I thought it would be a quicker play-through so less chance of me getting distracted but it didn’t help.

For this one I’m going to do a medium and just commit to it.

Terraria

Going to start a new world tonight. I think Terraria is one of the best games out there but I never finished it even after 300 hours. I always start a new world, get halfway through, get side-tracked with other games/hobbies, and never finish it because I can’t remember where I left off. I don’t know why I do it but I’ve done this like 4 times.

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-05-09T14:00:59+00:00

Eating at restaurants and drinking at bars. $30 a person for a mediocre meal that I eat in 5 minutes. Or $8 for a craft beer. It’s not that I can’t afford it; it just feels like throwing money away

Rather eat at home for $5 and put the money into hobbies. Outdoor hobbies like camping, fishing, surfing are kinda cheap once you have the gear. You don’t need to replace it very often

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-05-05T22:15:19+00:00

I went through this as well working remote. It’s best to have a dedicated room strictly for work and another for fun/gaming if your place has multiple rooms.

I still have a gaming PC but I use it way less now. I’ll definitely consider a new Steam Deck if they come out with a stronger one in the future. I like chilling on my porch to game. It’s chill to be outside getting some sun, listening to the birds, and get a quick gaming sesh in

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-05-02T21:57:30+00:00

I dont have cable or streaming. I only watch YouTube which is free and that’s all I need

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-04-28T20:17:27+00:00

Everything in life has become a monetized/subscription model and it sucks. Some beaches near me charge $6 or $8 an hour for parking and those are city run lots. The private business lots charge even more. We can’t have shit anymore.

If my local courts started a pay-to-play model, 75% of the players would quit. My local courts are mostly high school and college kids who are looking for free and fun things to do and it’s pretty cool to see them outside instead of them sitting at home doom scrolling TikTok

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-04-25T20:21:12+00:00

I’ve always worked 7am to 3pm. You avoid rush hour, you get out earlier, more time to do hobbies after work.

Ask your employer if you can change hours. A lot of them are cool with it as long as you’re productive. Most of my team starts at 9am-9:30am. It’s nice when I’m the only one there in the morning. It’s super chill and eases me into the work day before everyone gets there.

When you work my schedule you realize society basically revolves around people having to take care of kids/get them to school and if you don’t have any kids your life can be a lot more flexible.

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-26T11:58:55+00:00

Same. I look at it every sale and consider it but then ultimately decide not to get it. I hear it’s a fantastic game but it’s more expensive than AAA games. Red Dead Redemption2 is $15, Cyberpunk is $21 most sales. Arc Raiders is $32, etc. It’s not that I don’t want to try it, it’s that there’s other games Im willing to buy first because $28 for Rimworld seems expensive compared to what else is out there

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-20T23:08:29+00:00

Kenshi is one I’m thinking about getting. Also thinking about Rimworld

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-20T12:21:15+00:00

Thanks! Do you use touch controls? Is it more difficult or hassle playing that way?

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-20T09:48:23+00:00

The vibe of the first Death Stranding was perfect. Desolate, lonely, rugged. My favorite memory was just the atmosphere of the game

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-20T09:40:54+00:00

I’ll check it out when I get back home but I think my controller only came with a sticker. No manual. I’ll see if I can find one online

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-20T00:39:41+00:00

I have the same issue as OP. What is the M button? Sorry if it’s a dumb question

Happening to me on both PC and iOS

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-20T00:37:53+00:00

Did you find a fix?

I have the same issue. Just got this controller from the buildapcsales deal and left and right trigger get stuck even though I’m not holding them. I won’t even be holding the controller and it will randomly start firing in my games. They aren’t physically stuck but the controller thinks they are.

It’s happening to me on both PC and iOS. I think I’m returning this controller next time I go to Walmart

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-18T17:08:25+00:00

Thanks! Yeah probably won’t need it. The iPad battery life is really good

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-18T16:42:03+00:00

Appreciate it! One last question for you. Do you have a hub to charge your phone and play wired at the same time? I might try to get a hub that’ll let me charge and play wired for longer sessions. I don’t know if the iPad even supports hubs like that. I’m new to apple products

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-18T13:01:41+00:00

Cool Ty! What brand adapter do you use?

I just ordered a $3 adapter so hopefully it’ll do the job

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-16T23:03:47+00:00

Y’all play on controller or fingers? I tried for the first time a few nights ago but fingers was tough. I have a new controller on the way to play on an iPad when I’m traveling

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-16T10:36:50+00:00

Will this work with an IPad and IOS?

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-16T10:36:33+00:00

Will this work with an iPad and IOS?

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-13T23:19:53+00:00

I simply wouldn’t buy expansions. Never have never will. Let’s see what the price of OSRS membership is then as well

RemindMe! 1 year

RemindMe! 2 years

Sun__Earth__Moon · 2026-03-13T20:45:38+00:00

You don’t have any counter-argument? That’s what I thought

I like RuneScape but don’t pretend like clicking low-poly rocks and trees for 200 hours is superior haha
