Shit I’ll take expansions over battle passes and what passes for “seasonal content” these days.

I think the one that did it for me was Xbox game pass. I’ve never been much of a fan of digital games, but Xbox game pass made me see what the future of games will be.
You will pay an ever increasing amount per month to play whatever Microsoft or whoever decides you can be allowed to play. You will own nothing you play and if you cancel your subscription, your console is worthless. Meanwhile the service will be crammed with ads, the games themselves crammed with ads, and your data harvested and sold for “personalized” ads.
I only buy physical games now.
Not headphones but the Samsung earbuds are pretty good and I picked them up for ~60$ on Amazon. I hadn’t used earbuds for years and had no idea how good the tech has gotten. Super comfortable, pretty good noise muffling, fancy wireless charging. Makes doing yard work go so fast.
We had an air fryer, loved the food but it was SO difficult to clean. The sides would shred our sponges. Eventually we stopped using It because timed save from cooking was lost twice over from cleaning it. And then it was recalled anyways
Collecting physical media is very valuable if you are a passionate gamer. Time has proven that the older a game gets, the harder it will be to legally obtain it. Yes, emulation is a thing but doesn’t quite beat the experience on the original hardware IMO. And of course emulation is under constant legal scrutiny to the point where it’s only a matter of time before enough money passes hands and emulation itself could be outlawed or heavily restricted.
Unless you have extraordinarily rare games, likely you will not see any financial benefit. If you do not want to play any of your games ever again, and you will never have kids or anyone you want to pass history onto, then likely the collection holds no value.
I own 2 sinden Light guns with recoil. They are excellent EXCEPT I cannot figure out how to get any game emulator to work with both guns at once. On a retropie anyways.

7 Days to Die
Mount and Blade: Warband
Factorio
Mordhau
FTL: Faster than Light
Raft
Gunfire Reborn
Into the Breach
Hollow Knight
Dome Keeper
DUSK
Golden Light
Vampire Survivors
Void Bastards
Years ago, I lived in an apt.
A week before moving out, a friend spills their drink on the carpet.
I get some quality carpet cleaner to clean the stain, and the spot is now noticeably much cleaner than the rest of the carpet. Not bleached, actually clean looking.
The apt keeps my deposit and says we ruined the carpet and it needs to be replaced. Non negotiable.
