There’s only so much time in the day and devoting much time to poorly designed games is silly. Finding a time tested production from 5+ years ago that plays as well or better than recent games is a minority decision but an objectively reasonable one. Cheaper and assured quality? Yes, please! It’s always nice to find someone likeminded.
I like quality… buuuut I also like to pay the cheapest price possible for it 😁. I usually buy second hand AV equipment, but only the high quality sfuff. Same goes for everything else 😁. I usually wait for discounts on AliExpress 😁. I know, I know, I’m cheap 😂.
I like to think of myself as “economic”. I only pay for stuff full price when there is no other way (emergency, whatever). In any other scenario, I wait 🤷 😁. As I said, I’m a patient man 😁. Uni taught me a lot of things, and patience was by far THE MOST important lesson IMO.
Might feel like a tangent but how do you feel about aliexpress? I’ve been burned by several month shipping times so it’s surprising to find someone who seems to use it reasonably frequently.
Yeah, the shipping time is terrible, no doubt there… and things don’t always arrive, but hey, at least they refund, so… no harm no foul I guess. I don’t order stuff I need right away from AliExpress though, I buy them locally if I can find them. But, when it’s not something I need right away, I just order it from there. The prices are cheap, especially on sales. Got a 2 x 75MHz hand held oscilloscope for about $55 on sale. That’s cheap 😊. And it’s quite good and precise for the price, a lot better than I expected. Comes with a nice transport bag as well 😁.
That feels like the distilled spirit of the jokes contemporaneous to the popularization of online shopping. A perpetual double-blind opaque Christmas at your front door brought to you by [shipping company].
I might give them another shot if you managed to find something of worth. As long as I remember to set a reminder about the item to refund if it hasn’t shipped after 4 months. Thanks.

Exactly my thoughts! Thank you! 😊
