Gamers are notoriously bad at voting with their wallet

When everyone was complaining about the Switch 2 price prior to release, I knew that it'd still sell like hotcakes.

Hasn't stopped people buying the Steam Machine, either.

    All fair points. I just object to people breathlessly putting out stores like this as if it a good thing and anything other than gambling at best, and insider trading at worst. The only people winning on those sites are the people with inside information.

    It's weird where you find new music sometimes. I was stumbling around Steam and this track came up in a trailer for an obscure VR only excavator simulator that was bundled with another game I was looking at. One Shazam later, and here you have it. It seems to have been commissioned specifically for the game. It goes way harder than the source would suggest.

    The wipers on my car have been screeching since I bought it about three years ago. I put new rubbers on them a while back, but that didn't fix it. I don't drive in the rain frequently enough for it to be a major bother, but yesterday, I was near a Supercheap Auto, so I went and spent the money on some good quality replacement blades.

    They work smoothly and perfectly. After three years of screeching, a silent wipe is almost unfathomably satisfying.
