Living life and learning to embrace my differences. The views expressed here are my own opinion. (he/him/his)
It’s all about money. Saving lives costs money. Being “pro-life” generates money into their campaign, otherwise they wouldn’t be interested. Wars generate tons of money for the gov’t contractors they are invested in. In the end, the rich get richer all around.

GameStop is advertising that they will have launch event happening at 3pm local time on 6/4 for people who didn’t preorder and pickups starting at 11pm CT.

I don’t trust either one. Apple could have just shown good faith with the court order and approved it while filing their appeal. On the other hand, Epic could have just paid the fees while they fought it out in court, instead of negatively impacting their customers for all these years.

I agree, but it’s crazy considering Epic had a conversation with Apple on how to submit it for the US and Epic was given the impression that the best option was to submit it using their EU Swedish account. It appears that Apple is just playing games at this point.

Actually, the judge ordered Apple to allow apps third-party payment links at zero commission, which is exactly why Apple terminated their US account to begin with.

Yes, especially since the judge was already looking into criminal contempt charges for what Apple did. I would let it in the App Store and continue to fight it out in court.

CVS told me I was not eligible for the manufacturer coupon because I had insurance. I just called Costco and they told me I am. I went on the manufacturer website and sure enough CVS was wrong. I have been miserable for 4 days. I hate CVS so much. Thanks for the advice.

The cost of Rx medicine is outrageous. I am currently sick and my Dr called out a Rx to help me feel better faster, but it was $357 with insurance. It’s crazy that medicine is allowed to cost that much (or more). People should not have to choose between medicine and other expenses.

Yeah, that’s why I’m torn. I love Mario games and Mario Kart. I would also like to get back into Zelda games. I will have to limit myself to only buying games when they are on sale or when Costco has them at a good price.

It’s making me reconsider. I might get a PC handheld instead, where I can play all the PC games I already own on the go, and make the OLED Switch my last Nintendo. I’m very torn.

It would be one thing if they went with LED to be cost efficient, but $450-500 is not cheap, especially with the rumors of $70-90 games. It’s making me reconsider.

Did you see the stories about how much Nintendo is going to charge for games? Some sites are saying $80 for digital games and $90 for physical games. Walmart has physical games on their website for as much as $79.
