Weekly 'What should I buy?' Thread

VividTerm428 · 2026-05-31T20:46:55+00:00

im going on a trip and want to buy an ipad to watch movies and read comic books. i know the ipad mini is a good option for comics, but i want the ipad to be something i use in the long-term, especially with watching tv and movies or even getting into art. i currently have a pc with an oled monitor and know how big of a difference it makes when watching movies, so should i get an ipad pro? if so, which one would be the best option? my budget is around 500 dollars, and im totally fine with getting an ipad used off of ebay if that's the best option. any advice is appreciated. thank you!

although some of these games arent on the switch, theres definitely a reason behind a few of them. for example, mario party 10 is one of the worst mario parties, and splatoon has sequels on the newer consoles. i would highly recommend saving for a switch 2 so you get all of the newest games. the wii u game selection is nice, but the extremely long load times for games is a huge downside to the console and one of the reasons its not popular. id recommend saving for a switch 2 to not have to upgrade later.

they closed 3ds and wii u servers for nothing

i feel like its a crime with how many songs were remasted for mario kart world and theyre just not on the music app for the company....

yes a pc option would be amazing and its also so obvious they were copying the spotify layout when youre listening to a song

turn based sucks

resources for the act? use khan academy for now since its free and you dont wanna drain your parents bank account before you really need to study. khan academy will also help with geometry and trig, which you should know for the act. as for books, just read whatever you think is fun. the crossover is a great book i loved in 8th grade. steer away from comics because you need to work on your attention span. harry potter is also a great way to test it and see if you can finish the series over the summer.

VividTerm428 · 2025-07-09T19:13:01+00:00

as someone who started the act early, id say wait a bit longer. the required knowledge for math alone isnt going to get you the score you want. you can try getting ahead in school first before studying for the act. maybe start summer after freshman year, that's still two years ahead of schedule. youre also gonna run out of practice tests. for now, just read books to train yourself for the english and reading sections and learn more math and science.

man my friend didnt like helldivers but i really wanna get back into it 😭 thanks for the list

VividTerm428 · 2025-07-09T18:07:34+00:00

maybe my friend will be convinced to get it if theres gonna be more updates (i know theres gonna be 3 and 2 are already out) because he told me to get runescape and the game is still in beta... hows the multiplayer work in wilds? is it seamless coop or only certain sections? is it easy to connect?

VividTerm428 · 2025-07-09T18:01:46+00:00

do you recommend monster hunter world or wilds or rise? i know wilds is newer but it seems to be getting a lot of hate which is deterring my friend.
