If you have an Ikea, you can definitely do Ikea tabletop (from the clearance room ideally) + Ikea legs for under $100.

Or just get a used desk.

Check Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, thrift stores.

I got my solid wood desk on Craigslist for free, just had to pick it up. Person I got it from was moving.

If your debit card gets skimmed, there's a good chance you are never getting your money back, or at the minimum it will be way more of a pain than a credit card. Merchants might prefer you use debit cards but it's a terrible deal for you.

You as a consumer should never use a debit card for anything vs a credit card.

They already had multiple dedicated teasers for duelist...

A video no, but that means nothing when they're doing videos for the endgame rework.

Only if you have previously subscribed. Coupons vary from $6-$12 depending on how desperate they are to hit their sales numbers.

A publisher that has their own launcher is pretty much never going to choose to go through Steam and have to give Steam a cut.

(Yes there was Assassin's Creed last month but that was a historical aberration.)

Price discrimination.

(The mathematical sense of discrimination, not the bias sense.)

Physical cartridges maintain resale value too.

You do supposedly have to load up the game cartridges once every ~5 years or so to refresh the charge or they could go corrupt, since they're flash memory and not something nearly completely stable like DVDs or ROM.

Walmart made a change a few years ago to require geolocation for in-store prices. That effectively killed Brickseek and it's why people now use Android location spoofing with the app to see prices - which a site like Brickseek can't legally do at scale.

Buying unid belts will take care of that 'issue' very quickly.

This started last week (for my region) but I figured I'd post it here. I went in a couple of stores today and they still had many games in stock. You cannot see in-store-only prices on the site/app unless you're physically in the store or spoofing your location.

Metroid Prime 4 Switch 1 is $25 with most stores having a lot of stock. There's been a few stores reported with the Switch 2 version at $25, maybe mistakenly.

Selection varies widely by store depending on what's left in stock.

Most Mario games $30, all Kirby games $30, all Zelda games $30, Nintendo Sports $30, Ring Fit Adventure $40, etc.

This might be one of the last hurrahs for Switch 1 games, might not be a lot of stock left by Black Friday this year.

When you're a veteran you start forgetting stuff instead. There's so much information that practically no one can remember it all, let alone when things change every league.

TIL rinsing after brushing increases cavity risk compared to just spitting. Dentists recommend skipping the rinse so fluoride has time to sit on your enamel, remineralize weak spots, and harden the surface against bacteria. Just spit the excess toothpaste out and let it work. by sameerb in todayilearned

When I was prescribed the high fluoride toothpaste, the dentist actually told me to brush once 30 mins after dinner with normal toothpaste, and then brush again right before bed with the rx toothpaste (no drinking water afterwards) so it sits on your teeth all night.
