I'd say a UK v US thing here given our modems are free as standard. Some do deals for including TV packages (which I'd say this is comparable to I guess) as well as games consoles n such.

last time i changed suppliers I got £200 gift card and £185 cashback. I think UK broadband is just more competitive so they give good offers to switch.

Yeah my understanding with US broadband is in many areas you might have only the one ISP supplying you so they not only don't need to give gifts to entice you but can fuck you over and you take it cos you want 'net.

I reflexively empty my recycle bin whenever I see there's something in it, so that's not really much protection for me.

^ Yeah. I do this too.

It feels good to empty that bin. I don't know why.

I don't have the bin on my desktop so it's not something I see often.

That bomb defusal game looks really fun!

@Thursday: I hear it goes 'places' too. Certainly not the game I thought it would be when Giantbomb started talking about it.

One of my students told me last week "Sir...Dead Or Alive Xtreme has PSVR support now..."

SO you're not alone.

I usually charge them up and then don't worry about them. That hasn't been a problem for me for any device manufactured in the last 5 years or so.

I read that the "best" way to do it is to charge the battery up to about 75% and then stick it in the freezer. That's probably only good advice for things with removable batteries though.

If you're worried about the batteries committing seppuku when they get to low then just put something in your phone's calendar to remind yourself to check them once every 6 months or year and charge them up if they need it.

I charged both of them up and they seem fine. I'm amazed my Vita can take that abuse.

I've never worried about it, but my old iPhone 5s died within like 3 months of being stored. But now that I think about it, My iPhone 4 still holds a charge after basically being stored like that for a long time now (I dig it up like every other 6 months). Must have been a fluke.

I decided to just wait on it and get it next time. And the sale ended yesterday.

Again, I hear that ReCore is garbage after the first quarter of the game.

What makes it bad though? From what I've read, you kind of just get forced to backtrack and run through areas multiple times to collect required stuff. But the platforming is great and the combat is probably something you'd either like or hate (I kind of like it in the demo).
