USA - Cash a lot more recently. With how easy it is for my bank and stores to track my purchases with card, I’ve switched to cash as much as possible. Some stores say no cash but even those have never actually refused cash. I assume they’re just trying to deter thieves.

The spark for this change for me was Target. I first looked into it cause I hated how they scanned my ID barcode when buying alcohol. Also, they openly track purchases even made without your account by your credit card number. In addition to what I’ve heard about intensive surveillance in the stores via high resolution cameras, enough to read phone messages, I have sworn off Target entirely.

EDIT: oh and to avoid tip creeping. I absolutely hate when non-tipped places ask for tips. Cash makes it a lot easier to avoid.

This is pretty much my sentiment, too. With the growth of federated social media, it’s pretty much inevitable for big players to have their own. My only hope is that since it’s decentralized, people aren’t going to get stuck and forced into a single platform’s experience.

Ah I think I messed this up, too. But at least for me, I care more about Reddit not having it than it being lost forever.

I’m surprised I haven’t heard of this till now. It looks really good.

It always seems to be sold out whenever I check. I hope they have more runs of it soon. I used to track the status pretty regularly but have since given up.

Absolutely insane deal. So much content in these games. I bought it for $40 when they first launched it and feel like it was still a fantastic deal. Cannot recommend enough. The campaigns alone are worth it let alone multiplayer, mods, custom games, etc.

3 is probably my favorite, too, and the one I played the most as a kid. I stopped paying attention to Pokemon for a while and missed when the remakes came out. I played them a few months ago and really loved all the content they added. I went in blind and was blown away.
