Yeah I played S&M and Full Throttle probably once every couple months when I was a kid… how else can you recite every scene from the entire game?

I’m trying to move in this direction. I used to use Amazon mostly out of convenience and because they could get uncommon, hard to find stuff to me within 2 days when buying anywhere else would take 1-2 weeks. Now that they regularly fail to even get stuff to me when they say they will, and they are as generally evil as they are, I’m trying to get into the habit of buying from anywhere else.

I know ebay is fairly evil too, but I try to buy them from them if I need something oddly specific. If not, I go local.

I avoid “next day” shipping because it seems like every time I choose it, they mess it up and it takes 3-4 days due to some unnamed “problem”.

Similar boat for me. Used Netscape, then Mozilla, then Firefox. FF got kinda bad for a while, and chrome came along and was quite good. Then Google got progressively more evil, chrome also started getting buggy and falling behind, and Firefox got really good again. I fully dumped chrome a couple years ago. No regrets.

I have very different priorities. I’ll never use anything with a walled garden, that isn’t hackable. I’ve also weaned myself almost completely off Google services and apps at this point. Also I can get a brand new unlocked Android phone that does everything I want with decent specs and almost stock Android (minimal bloat) for under $200. The only positive that really interests me that was mentioned in this thread is the longer security support.
