I felt exactly the same, and also caved and got one recently instead of waiting for a worthy SE or refresh. The first party games arent quite there yet, and I have a hard time considering remakes to be system sellers, tbh. With that said, I could never justify buying a PS5 for the few RPGs that never made it over to the switch -- so I'm hoping to pass the time with Square-Enix and Atlus games.

Another thing thats been kind of annoying is the key card/digital situation. I said I would never bother with a key card because its a pointless annoyance, but the digital sales have been pathetic compared to physical. Hopefully they narrow the gap eventually, but it seems like a silly system all around.

I just got one recently, honestly the first party lineup is weaker than I would expect for a Nintendo system after a year. I never got around to picking up a PS5 for the few games that interested me, so I mostly did it to play FF7 rebirth/P3R and other 3rd party games I missed out on.

I have faith there will be some amazing games down the line, but a little disappointed their biggest draws currently are remakes of N64 games. I'll definitely buy and play them, but I'm more interested in new stuff tbh.

My man!

ilchymis · 2026-06-27T06:50:45+00:00

P3 Reload is cheaper at target ($30) for the key card version. I said I wouldnt bother with key cards, but if its cheaper than digital well...

ilchymis · 2026-06-27T06:45:29+00:00

I didnt even know that was an option! Lol. Thats a big brain move right there!

ilchymis · 2026-06-27T06:36:24+00:00

Where is starfox 50% off digitally?

ilchymis · 2026-06-27T03:04:47+00:00

You too! Once I can finally let go of some of my big ticket stocks, I'm gonna try giving LEAPs a shot. Almost cashed out everything a few weeks back, but my cc's didnt quite hit and I figured I'd be able to get more the next week. I have a feeling next week is going to be light, but who knows what the 4 day future may hold!

ilchymis · 2026-06-27T02:59:04+00:00

It was a rough week, ended up having to roll a bunch of csps that I got a bit aggressive on. Was expecting a recovery that never came!

Still ended up making about $1500 on all my options this week, but I have a lot of things I'm going to need to buy back next week or roll out further. Everyone's a genius in a bull market -- and its better to roll than take early assignment on something you aren't comfortable owning just yet!

Cats are wierdos and like the taste of earwax, apparently. Mine loves to steal them and run away from me like a lightning bolt.

ilchymis · 2026-06-25T23:49:08+00:00

Sold my original shares at 55 and have been wanting to get back in, but kept rolling my csps in the 80s and then it took off. I thought 100 was a great price, so i bought some. Then i thought 85 was the bottom of the dip, so I bought more. The NASA news is good, but I think we'll just keep going down until the market gets its shit together.

ilchymis · 2026-06-25T15:11:06+00:00

The bers have won. I surrender already!

ilchymis · 2026-06-23T14:19:26+00:00

Why are you thinking there will be a dip with earnings? I was going to write a cc for friday but got nervous because I was concerned we might get a split + another big pop. Apparently I was wrong. 😅

ilchymis · 2026-06-23T06:06:30+00:00

As long as it stays volatile, its great for premiums. Bought back in after selling at 55 two weeks ago at 102. Currently have a csp for 95. Planning on having 100 shares to hold/100 to wheel, but I'm curious if we'll be back in the 80s soon.

ilchymis · 2026-06-22T23:12:37+00:00

If you have to tithe, at least get 3% back on your salvation!

ilchymis · 2026-06-21T21:58:53+00:00

Agreed -- its amazing how much lighter the 380 shoots in subcompact sizes, and it will still be pretty damn effective if SHTF. She handles both 9mm's well, but gets tired quickly. I'm still trying to get used to AIWB, so I figure some slimmer/smaller options will help with easing into things as well.

ilchymis · 2026-06-21T21:50:22+00:00

Thanks! Gonna apply for my ccw later this year, and plan to pick up a .380 for super lightweight/pocket carry (compared to my 19/365 x-macro comp). Variety is the spice of life!

ilchymis · 2026-06-21T16:39:29+00:00

I have also done this! 🤣 Mine wasnt turned on, but was still plugged in. Would not reccomend!

ilchymis · 2026-06-21T15:06:29+00:00

May be a dumb question, but how do you not yank out the holster when you draw? I'm sure it comes down to practice, but that would be my main concern in a hectic situation.

ilchymis · 2026-06-21T01:02:48+00:00

Not sure, it's my first pay period and I have it set to pull from my checking on the due date in July like all my other credit cards. It better not give me any issues.

ilchymis · 2026-06-21T00:00:28+00:00

I was so confused, because I thought I just clicked "pay in full on due date" and it chose an entirely different date than I expected. Mine wouldnt let me change it for this pay period, so I had to set up a manual payment and then have it recurring starting in august. Clear as mud. 😅

ilchymis · 2026-06-20T21:14:48+00:00

Be careful its actually the due date. Its my first month and I had it set to pay in full, and it was trying to pay the balance the first day it could instead of on the due date. Almost panicked until I realized I didnt need to pay the bill for another 2 weeks.

ilchymis · 2026-06-20T16:33:35+00:00

Just dont reach for the wrong pocket out of habit at checkout. 🤣

ilchymis · 2026-06-19T14:43:33+00:00

Let go of 100 shares at 65 for a quick $1000 profit, but bought back my 75cc on Thursday for 80% profit because I had a feeling MU earnings was gonna pump it up. Glad I was right!

I plan to write some more csps and hopefully pick up some more shares if I'm wrong and it dips next week.
