Games That Don’t Hate Your Wallet

Leave a comment

Trying to save money when buying video games can feel like a stealth mission worthy of Solid Snake himself. The key is patience: resisting the urge to grab a new release on day one often pays off, since most games drop in price within a few months. Seasonal sales like Steam’s Summer Sale, PlayStation’s holiday deals, and Nintendo’s occasional eShop discounts can turn a $60 game into a $20 steal if you’re willing to wait. Subscriptions like Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus Extra, or even old-school rental services can also stretch your dollar, letting you play a huge library of games for the cost of a single purchase. And don’t overlook secondhand options—local game shops, pawn stores, and even garage sales can hide hidden gems at bargain-bin prices.

Another smart tactic is to go digital in moderation. Digital storefronts often feature flash sales and bundle deals, but physical copies can be resold or traded in, giving you some of your money back when you’re done. Keeping an eye on price-tracking websites or apps can help you snag a deal the moment it appears, and stacking coupons, loyalty points, or credit card rewards can sweeten the pot. Above all, building a backlog of games you already own but haven’t played is the ultimate money-saver—after all, the cheapest game is the one you don’t have to buy yet. With a little strategy and patience, you can keep your collection growing without letting your wallet go full Game Over.

Top 20 Best Selling Nintendo Switch Games (SO FAR in 2025)

Leave a comment

The Nintendo Switch is awesome because it’s basically the Swiss Army knife of gaming consoles—one minute it’s a handheld you’re sneaking into bed like contraband candy, the next it’s a full-blown living room party machine that somehow convinces grandma to play Mario Kart like a Formula 1 racer. It’s the only device where you can slay dragons on the bus, build islands during your lunch break, and then smack your best friend with a virtual shell in the same evening, all without burning out your TV or your social life. In short, it’s gaming’s ultimate shape-shifter—half-console, half-handheld, all chaos.

Vinyl Collecting ticking TIME BOMB – A WARNING for every collector 😲

Leave a comment

O noble disc of grooves both black and round,
Thy cardboard sleeve doth smell of musty dreams.
I dig through crates where dusty gems are found,
Each crackle sings of bygone sonic schemes.

The thrill of thrift shops—oh, my beating heart!
A dollar bin may hide a treasure rare.
A polka album? Sure, I’ll call it art—
Even warped jazz can make me stop and stare.

I boast of pressings “first” to all my friends,
Though half my finds sound like a frying pan.
The needle pops, the music squeaks and bends,
Yet still I cheer, a happy vinyl stan.

For digital may sparkle, crisp and clean,
But vinyl hums with ghosts of what has been.

BYD’s Yangwang U9 Xtreme hits 308MPH, now the world’s fastest production car

Leave a comment

Driving over 300 miles per hour is like convincing a hurricane to give you a piggyback ride while you try to drink a latte. The world stops behaving like “scenery” and starts behaving like a smeared oil painting someone sneezed on—trees become green streaks, road signs flash past so fast they might as well be subliminal messages, and your face feels like it’s trying to migrate to the back of your skull.

Your car, meanwhile, is having a loud and existential conversation with physics. Every bolt is screaming “WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?!” while the tires grip the pavement with the desperate enthusiasm of a cat clinging to a bathtub edge. Even the air itself is offended, punching the vehicle with invisible fists of drag. Blink once, and you’ve traveled a football field; blink twice, and you’ve crossed a county line. At that speed, “oops” isn’t just a mistake—it’s an autobiography.

Seattle makes the best kitchen knife. No seriously. I want this.

Leave a comment

Using a dull knife is like trusting a sleepy sloth to perform delicate brain surgery—it’s not just ineffective, it’s dangerously unpredictable. A sharp blade slices cleanly and goes where you tell it; a dull one, meanwhile, mashes tomatoes into tragic salsa while plotting a surprise detour straight into your knuckles.

Instead of gliding through onions like a culinary samurai, you’re forced to bear-hug the cutting board and press down with the strength of a thousand regrets. That extra force means when the blade finally decides to cut, it leaps forward like a caffeinated squirrel, making your fingers the unwilling volunteer tribute. In short: a dull knife doesn’t just ruin dinner, it auditions your hand for the role of “unexpected garnish.”

All that is to say, this new ultrasonic knife by a Seattle inventor is cool as hell. I really want one. Guess how much it costs? More than you’d like…but probably not as much as it should.

You Need to Be Bored. Here’s Why.

A Sonnet of Supreme and Splendid Boredom

O cruelest clock, thou sluggish turtle beast,
Thy seconds plod like snails in sticky glue.
My yawns, like thunder, never seem to cease,
While ceilings whisper, “There is naught to do.”

The curtains droop in sympathetic pain,
The sofa sighs, “I too am uninspired.”
A lonely dust mote twirls around my brain,
Its graceful waltz both mocked and yet admired.

I’ve counted socks, then counted them again,
I’ve stared at toast until it seemed profound.
I’ve named each crack upon my windowpane,
And held debates with chairs that made no sound.

Yet boredom, strange, can hatch the oddest schemes—
Perhaps I’ll juggle noodles… or chase dreams.

Gemma (TheGebs24) is like a time traveler, but instead of a TARDIS she uses game cartridges, VHS tapes, and vintage comics. She brings back the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s nostalgia.
YouTube. She’s a collector, gamer, and enthusiast who doesn’t just show cool vintage gear—she lives in it (or at least around it). Vintage consoles, comics, toys, old-school media—all things that make you go, “Oh hey, I had that… or wanted that…”

It Did Not Go Well…The Girls Road Trip a Classic Corvette And BARELY Make It Back Home!

Leave a comment

The 1968 Chevrolet Corvette was basically America’s way of saying: “Why settle for subtle when you can drive a spaceship with a V8?”

This thing rolled off the line looking like a shark that got lost on its way to an Evel Knievel stunt show. Chevy called it the “C3,” but it was really the automotive equivalent of bell-bottom jeans: long, low, and screaming 1960s cool.

Some highlights:

  • Design: It had curves on curves, the kind that made other cars look like filing cabinets. With those swoopy fenders and a body that looked like it was flexing in the mirror, it didn’t park—it posed.

  • Pop-up headlights: The car literally winked at you before blinding you with high beams. Very James Bond, if James Bond lived in Ohio and sold insurance.

  • Interior: It had more chrome inside than a diner, and the dashboard looked like a pilot’s cockpit—perfect for people who thought parallel parking was basically a space launch sequence.

  • Performance: Under the hood, you got a thumping V8 that could rocket you forward with enough torque to rotate the Earth slightly. Of course, handling was… let’s call it “dramatic.” You didn’t steer a ’68 Vette; you negotiated with it.

So the ’68 Corvette was less a car and more a declaration: “I have arrived, I am loud, and I’m leaving a trail of tire smoke as proof.”

Computer games you (probably) didn’t know existed!

Think you know every computer game? Think again! I’m diving into the weird, wild, and overlooked world of games you (probably) never knew existed—obscure gems, bizarre experiments, and hidden titles that might just surprise you! WATCH >> https://youtu.be/gPjvhuOs0cQ

GAMES SHOWN:

Homey d. Clown

Revenge of Defender

Beatle Quest

Star Trek BORG

Jaws

Rendezvous with Rama

Psycho: Arcade Quest

Conan

Collecting big box PC games is like adopting a litter of cardboard dinosaurs—massive, glorious, and completely impractical in the modern world. Each one is a shrine to an era when game publishers believed that bigger boxes meant bigger fun, stuffing them with floppy disks, manuals thick enough to stop a bullet, and maybe a novelty item like a cloth map or a fake decoder ring. Shelving them is a workout; one trip to the thrift store can transform your living room into a structural engineering problem. Friends will marvel at your shelf of three-foot-wide neon rectangles while silently wondering if you’re preparing for some kind of retro computer apocalypse.

But oh, the dopamine hit when you crack open a box and find pristine install floppies and a glossy manual that smells faintly of 1996 carpet glue. It’s part history, part treasure hunt, and part self-inflicted storage crisis. You’ll pay five bucks for a game you’ll never play just because the box art features a wizard holding a CD-ROM like the Holy Grail. And while modern gamers brag about terabytes of digital libraries, you can smugly point to your fortress of cardboard and say, “These games don’t just live in the cloud—they are the cloud, if the cloud weighed forty pounds and smelled faintly of basement nostalgia.”

BBC Explaining how a touchscreen works with a sausage

Leave a comment

Touchscreens are basically the tech world’s way of saying: “What if we let people poke a sheet of glass and pretend it understands them?”

Here’s the magic:
Your phone screen is coated with an invisible grid of tiny electrical fields. When your fleshy, sausage-like finger touches it, you disturb the force—like a clumsy Jedi—and the phone goes, “Ah yes, this greasy smear right here is a command!”

It’s called capacitive sensing, but in reality, it feels like sorcery. Your finger conducts electricity ever so slightly, and the screen triangulates your touch with more precision than a cat deciding exactly which object to knock off the counter.

Of course, the system has its quirks:

  • Works perfectly when you barely brush the screen.

  • Completely ignores you if your hands are cold, wet, or gloved—basically any condition where you actually need it to work.

  • Loves to register phantom “ghost touches,” so sometimes your phone just decides to call your boss at 2 a.m. because of a single speck of pocket lint.

So in short: modern touchscreens are an elegant blend of physics and wizardry, designed to make you feel powerful when you pinch-zoom a cat meme… and powerless when you can’t hit the right letter in your password on the first try.
