No worries. I don't like reddit reposters either but for a deal type community quick posting is key and I've already made 2 purchases thanks to this bot.

You can block the bot to stop seeing the posts but it's literally all the posts on this community at the moment. If people posted deals it wouldn't be needed but the number of users isnt sufficient at this time so the bot was implemented to help.

Not great for the storage alone but I guess it is for the fingerprint aspect

Summer 2023 in the southern hemisphere maybe? I guess they can still technically hit that summer timeframe within the next 3 weeks.

In the past I've had a different experience with OEM chargers dying on me and off brand ones surviving longer but that was in a place with frequent power cuts. In general your advice is probably best to follow but I've also used non-OEM replacements without any bad experiences for many different devices.

For comparison, the combined usual sale prices of all 6 games around 90USD so from that perspective it's a good deal. If you don't care about the 2 Tales games then the other 4 games are usually 55USD so it's not as enticing.

But there's other discounts that can make it worthwhile even if you don't care about the Tales games:

To break it down by platform, owning any of these Borderlands games digitally on Xbox “automatically” entitles you to the new collection for just $30. Own any of them digitally on Steam and they’ll be subtracted from the total cost. Finally, owning either Borderlands 3, the Handsome Jack Collection, or the Borderlands: Game of the Year edition digitally or physically on PlayStation will let you access a $30 discount by launching one of them and following the in-game instructions.

If you own something like BL2 digitally then the rest of the collection for $30 is also fantastic value on console. Not sure how good the Steam value will be since it sounds like a subtraction but might also be worthwhile.

A podcast that covered the topic said that the plan was more expensive per student that what the state's existing housing designs cost to build. Also, his donation only covered like 20% of costs.

Don't try to sell microsoft licenses and you should be alright. If you advertise on any instance you will almost definitely get banned (again as I've seen your previous account(s)).

He also tried to design a windowless mega-dorm as a weird social experiment of sorts. All around great guy

In his October 25 resignation letter to UCSB Campus Architect Julie Hendricks, Dennis McFadden ― a well-respected Southern California architect with 15 years on the committee ― goes scorched earth on the radical new building concept, which calls for an 11-story, 1.68-million-square-foot structure that would house up to 4,500 students, 94 percent of whom would not have windows in their small, single-occupancy bedrooms.

The idea was conceived by 97-year-old billionaire-investor turned amateur-architect Charles Munger, who donated $200 million toward the project with the condition that his blueprints be followed exactly. Munger maintains the small living quarters would coax residents out of their rooms and into larger common areas, where they could interact and collaborate.

Thankfully it did not get approved.

Looks like they dismissed the claims in 2021 at least

Epic, C.R. and his court-appointed guardian have agreed to dismiss all claims and action
