    Any ideas of places to buy a secondhand copy of Hogwarts Legacy PS4 (other than eBay or FB Marketplace of course)? I want to play it without buying it new as I don’t want to give money to a transphobe.

      Buying it 2nd hand from Ebgames?

      May not be cheaper though but Ebgames will profit from it 100%, none of it will go to the publishers or royalties.

        I don’t really appreciate your snide comment. As one single human being, I have limited power to influence change. As a consumer, my options are to use my purchasing to support causes/companies who are doing good. I also actively avoid (as best as possible) giving my money to companies/people who are doing harm to the planet or its inhabitants. That includes people like Rowling who use their platform to harm vulnerable people. I had a lot of respect for her up until she started gunning for people who are just trying to live their lives. I’m not canceling her, I’m just not giving her my money.

          There’s a difference between following a movement and doing something from your own conscience. Cancel culture is a movement that you follow.

          Grow up, switch off whatever app you followed and make your own decisions of conscience.

            Rowling is still a millionaire, they’re still making games and movies based off of her books, that doesn’t seem very “cancelled” to me. I’m sure she’s doing just fine in her expensive house with her money and transphobia. Sure people are entitled to their opinions but when they use their platform to target vulnerable people they will be called out for it and consumers will make choices about whether to spend their money on things that give them revenue.

    My ankles and feet have been swelling at night and naturally doctor google has let me know I have heart failure.

    I’m looking to use a custom domain to set up an email address. Really, I’ve got a couple of questions:

    1. How do you come up with a good domain name? I don’t really know what I want it to be - I feel like “[firstname]@[fullname./com]” looks a little strange myself, but I can’t really think of anything else. Does anyone have some good examples or general ideas?

    2. Assuming you own a domain, which email provider is best to use? I’m leaning towards Proton Mail at the moment, but I know there’s some others out there too like Skiff and Fastmail. Any personal recommendations?

      I bought a domain from cheaper domains, connected it to paid ProtonMail and turned on Catch-All emails with the SimpleLogin Proton plugin thingy. I love it even more than I thought I would, I just make up a new email for everyone (I don’t need to create the address in advance) , and can turn them off individually, and will know who’s leaked my info because the address will be jbhifiwankers@mydomain.org or whatever.
