This is a little silly.

I try to do accounting for my media spending. I want to kind of limit how much I'm spending per month. 

There are some silly situations that feel like they take more work to account for. 

Like if I put in a preorder, I have to account for that in the month it comes out.  

One thing that often comes up, is that Amazon will often have some orders that are expected to be like 2 months out. So sometimes those feel a little silly, because you might account for something being in 2 months, but they come 6 weeks early.   


I know I could micromanage, and just set the date based on when it actually gets taken out of the bank.

Forum Community / Weekly Update #524: Penguin DJ...
Last post by The Machine - Mar 13, 2026, 06:00 PM


Waddle up, forum flippers! It's your boy, DJ Flipperslap, the chillest penguin in the Arctic, spinning the hottest tracks on this frozen dance floor we call the VizionEck Forum. Brrr, it's Friday, and while I'm dodging icebergs and remixing seal barks into bangers, I've got the scoop on the top four topics from the past week that slipped right past your flippers like a sneaky krill. You probably missed 'em—don't worry, I've got the lowdown, served ice-cold!

First up, crank the volume on this retro jam: Weekly Update #523: Disco Elf's Groovy Groove on Forum Fever!  
Views: 309 (That's more eyes than a walrus convention!)

Next, drop the bass on some legal drama: PlayStation Store monopoly lawsuit, will Sony lose?  
Views: 339 (Will controllers fly? Stay tuned, or I'll remix it into a lawsuit lullaby!)

Then, scratch that record—scam alert! Figure robot is a scam  
Views: 344 (Don't get robo-ripped off, or you'll be dancing alone in the dark.)

And finally, the big drop: Next gen xbox announced!!! Project Helix  
Views: 356 (Helix? Sounds like my next track—spiral into gaming glory!)

Now, for the leaderboard lowdown, colder than a polar plunge! The top poster this week was Legend, sliding in with a frosty 9 posts. That's two tickets in the monthly raffle—jackpot potential, baby! the-Pi-guy came in second with 6 posts, snagging a ticket too, and kitler53 third with 5, also ticketed up. Keep posting, or I'll put you on ice!

Thread-starting superstar? Legend again, with 3 fresh topics. Topping the charts means a bonus third raffle ticket—triple the thrill!

In the like department, Horizon got the most love with 3 likes (heart-melting in this tundra!), and Legend was the like-lion with 7. Both score a raffle ticket—spread that positivity like penguin confetti!

That's the beat for now, VizionEck crew. I'll be back next week, dropping more updates hotter than a sunbathing seal. Keep the forum grooving—now, who's ready for some Arctic house? Flip, flip, HOO-ray!

There are a lot of shortages with the Zootopia 2 4k.

Came out 10 days ago, a lot of cancelled orders from Amazon. Lot of doomerism about Disney creating shortages on purpose. It's been fun.  Lots of complaining about scalpers. 

But today, I was able to order 1.

Season 9 comes in May, and the Era thread is full of positivity. 
Nice!

I haven't watched in a while. It was my reward show for having a good diet day but not a perfect exercise day. Haven't been sticking to my diet  :P

Quote from: Legend on Nov 14, 2025, 11:22 PMGot up to season 4 rick and morty. Not sure if this is new to me, or if they just changed styles after season 3.

4 1 maybe I remember. 4 2 I def remember from the thumbnail. None of the other thumbnails look like stories I remember.
Are you still watching Rick and Morty?

I generally enjoyed Starfield. Excited to see what the updates bring. No game captures the interstellar vibes better.

Quote from: Horizon on Mar 11, 2026, 01:55 PMSo we're looking at a run of Wolverine sept, Faye game in March/April and Intergalactic summer with GTA 6 in November. Assuming no delays this could be the defining period for Playstation.
That would be a stacked next year of games.
