Pricecharting breaks it down between graded/ungraded the same way they do for boxed/sealed/loose games. Can also be a good way to estimate if it is worth the cost of grading if you’re trying to max profit.

Pricecharting is usually a good guide for games and game adjacent stuff.

The only one who has the clout to replace him is Michelle Obama and she’s made it clear she does not want the job. Anyone picked at this point (even Harris) would get the same split complaints. There is no Dem candidate that all leftists would enthusiastically get behind.

For me he’s a symptom, rather than the cause. Too many political pundits focus on the President when Congress (and State gov) elections matter more. If Dems own House + Senate, Pres is a lot less important. If they also control state governments, etc.

I’m not saying give up core principles, but political groups need to think about actions based on their *results* not on their *ideals*. The lack of “perfect” housing projects hasn’t helped the poor in SF. Instead it has blocked affordable units. At the national stage, it may mean King Trump.

I don’t blame this on Biden so much as the left’s inability to put practicality over purity. I look at the housing debate in SF as an example. Perfect is the enemy of good and we’re seeing that play out in real time at the national level here.

When I first moved from the Midwest I didn’t have much space so mom used a three ring binder with craft pages to create a book of all my manuals and game covers (yes, we cut the front/back of the boxes). Great to browse thru even if it makes collectors cry.

The Beekeeper was tons of fun, but as far as committing to the bit, have you seen the trailer for Red One? It goes hard. I’m in.

OS X. It seems so simple but Apple is unable to lock the dock. I had to ditch dual monitors and upgrade to a single 4K screen for work because of it. Windows, I’ve never had an issue with dual screens.

Try using dual monitors and getting the dock to stay in one place instead of jumping around for reasons. Supremely annoying.

Didn’t realize anyone outside of the Bay knew the Sharks. They always seemed like one of those teams that only the locals adored. Yay for repping the Bay in Vegas. 😀

My family is on the other side of the country and more flights are in my future so this resonates. I’m absolutely in Ninth Circuit territory (I even worked at the court a few years back). I’m game if someone wants to do the lawyering pro bono.

Everyone is always talking about Dark Souls and Elden Ring. Why doesn’t anyone talk about a game that’s actually difficult? Where is the Fester’s Quest discourse?!?

If you’re an adult sending inappropriate messages to minors, you are a predator. Doubly so when you’re a celebrity. And especially when you try to bury your actions behind NDAs and legal settlements. Anyone working with Dr. Disrespect (Guy Beahm) at this point is endorsing his actions. Full stop.

Oh, smart people absolutely don’t want that responsibility. Plenty do want it tho. It’s the reason that drove Musk to buy Twitter. They see it as “power” and not “responsibility”.

Right, but you don’t need to run the robot in the cloud. A local client could do sorting and filtering on your machine. To use a transcription example, I could push recordings to the cloud, but instead I run whisper locally. The robot processing the data is 100% local. No mothership.
