Buy the game after a few years of bug fixes on sale with all the DLC for basically the same price as a sandwich… or pay $80 for a buggy broken incomplete experience with no real guarantee any promised content will ever materialize.

Although I guess I need SOME people to keep buying them at launch to subsidize my frugality.

People forget that social media is escapable and you can just leave.

Crimes only count for poors.

I back up to local storage and then replicate offsite to S3 nightly.

On-prem backups are great and cheap and fast and definitely plan A but a robust backup solution is going to require offsite storage of some sort. Object storage is one of the cheapest ways to do that for most situations, particularly for things that can’t be replaced like photos.

Backblaze B2 is about $7 a month per TB.

Almost every major backup solution natively supports S3 compatible storage.

We invented a machine that tells you what you want to hear. Should be fine.

The power of the sun in the palm of my hand.

I was paying for Google music until they took it away from me and told me it was Youtube Premium and then raised the price twice.

Not exactly what I’d call a great value proposition.
