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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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…”
