  1. After pandemic, it made more sense to buy new, especially when you can find those 0% APR deals. I haven’t kept track of used prices to see if they have come down to realistic levels yet. They were ridiculous for years after pandemic. I did all the research when I bought my used 2019 Mazda CX-5 in 2021. Consumer Reports rated it really good for reliability and everything. Then in 2023 the transmission died at 40,000 miles. I was so thankful the 5 year bumper to bumper warranty was still in tact because otherwise it would have been a $6-7k fix. Oh and then the dealership had my car from July to January because of part shortages. That’s how long it took for a new transmission to come in. Again, thankful for that warranty because it gave me a free loaner car. Otherwise I would have had to pay for a rental for 6 months. Consumer Reports has since updated their ratings for my make and model and it ain’t that great now. I guess all that to say, buying used is risky.
  2. I know I haven’t seen an 8k tv in person yet. Would a place like Best Buy have them on display?
  3. I’m sure it’s been said plenty by now, but cars either need to be completely self driving or not at all. This autopilot that still wants your 100% attention is just leading to poor decision making as the driver puts too much trust into something they shouldn’t.
  4. I’ll send you an Amazon gift card. Just need an email.
  5. I saw they added it to HBO Max if you have that?
  6. Yeah I was going to say pretty much the same. It will be a “fun” exhibition match. I wish it could be more. It will pull in huge numbers though. Both of them have their own huge fan bases.
  7. I was definitely a Nickelodeon kid growing up. Not sure if I want to watch this or not.
  8. It felt good listening to the judge say all that. Especially calling him out saying if given the chance, he would probably kill again.
  9. I went into this movie totally blind. I felt it dragged in some parts, but overall it was quite a surprise. I laughed a lot more than I expected. My daughter also sings the Ken song just about everyday and acts out the music video.
  10. “This event guarantees an immersive and delightful entertainment experience suitable for aged 3+ years old“ Oh shit here comes The Unknown! Run!!
  11. That’s one of those movie scenes that stick with you for life.
  12. I loved it when I played it way back at release. I remember people not liking something about it but I ignored all that and had a good time with it.
  13. I was able to have some fun(and some not)with the game last night. People kept joining the game but randomly dropping out. I got pretty invested into the one mission but by the end my only other teammate would just keep killing me at random moments (on purpose). My son watched me play this morning and I got paired up with a level 30 player. I’m like a level 5 haha. They were using the flamethrower which looked cool as hell. Hoping it’s stable this weekend to get more time in.
  14. Imagine what this thing will look like in the drive thru or after people get it delivered.
  15. When I read that, I assumed suicide or an overdose the way they danced around the fact of head trauma.
  16. I read a few articles about this the other day. All the stories said something along the lines of “they are unsure if the death was related to the fight”. Which just seemed outrageous. Like of course they are related.
  17. I won’t say it looks horrible, I’m just not that interested in it. It kind of gave me Guardians of the Galaxy vibes.
  18. Darkstars family health updates: -Jan. 11: I woke up totally fine and an hour later non stop diarrhea and almost threw up. Either food poisoning or a 24 hour bug because by the next day I was back to normal. -2 weeks ago my son tested positive for Covid. He stayed in his room a lot but was still hanging out with us. I made sure he wore a mask around us. Nobody else in the house got it. -About a week ago my wife got the flu(we are assuming flu because she had legit flu symptoms, tested negative for Covid, and seemed to be fine within a few days). My daughter and I seem to have made it through unscathed.
  19. Got on around 10pm last night. Game just loaded right up no problem. Tried fighting robots solo since it didn’t connect to anyone. Man that was a mistake. Game over within 5 minutes on medium. Went back to a bug planet and the game connected to 3 other players and I had a great time. Someone in the squad threw down a very badly placed napalm strike which hilariously killed 3 out of the 4 members. Couldn’t even be mad.
  20. I still feel the same as I always do when talk of a PS5 Pro comes around. To me it feels like there hasn’t been enough exclusive PS5 only games. So the thought of trying to justify a Pro seems silly. My son has my PS4 Pro in his room and just a few months ago was the first time I noticed a new game he might like isn’t playable on PS4. I guess I could see myself buying the Pro just so I could give my son my current PS5. Otherwise it would be a hard pass.
