TekTok: Candy Con and Standard Notes
This may be a Gamestop exclusive, as I cannot find this Candy Con for sale anywhere, including Amazon, which will only show you candy corn.

Weekend Gamer: Crucial 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD
After a week of tinkering with my Lenovo Legion Go, I’ve come to realize that I really, really need to upgrade the original 512GB storage to something much larger.
Black Friday Week
If you’ve been paying attention, Black Friday (and Cyber Monday it goes without saying), have been happening earlier and earlier every year. Last year, I said deals were happening as early as November 1, 2023.
Weekend Gamer: Legion Go 2, Nitro Blaze 7, and Xbox Handheld
As you know, I recently purchased the Lenovo Legion Go, and I’ve been enjoying it. Of course, as soon as I bought it, there’s already rumors of a Legion Go 2, which may come out in 2025. The biggest feature will likely be a new AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme CPU (all the current AMD-based handhelds are using the Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip). Only the MSI Claw uses an Intel chip.
Weekend Gamer: PS5 Pro
I’ve made it known in the past that I find that Sony is greedy, especially in their PlayStation department.
Here is the latest proof: PlayStation 5 Pro for $700, a $200 markup from the PS5 Slim that was released in Nov 2024.
Zoho Mail
I’m planning on moving my email host to a new host called Zoho. This company is based out of India, and have been around since 1996. Their focus is offering their web-based Zoho Office Suite, for business, rivaling Google Workspace and MicroSoft 365. Comparing prices, Zoho is a much cheaper alternative. Breaking down their office pricing, Zoho charges $72 a year, while Google and Microsoft charges $150 a year.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard
I previously mentioned that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf coming out in early 2025…. Well, there’s a couple of changes since then. Electronic Arts (EA) announced that the name is now called Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and it is coming out October 31, 2024.
Weekend Gamer: ROG Ally X Details
It’s official, here are all the official information on the new ROG Ally X. Prior to the June 2 announcement, we already got all this data in a leak. Everything in the leak was correct, including the double battery life (80W) and even down to the price of $799. The only thing new is the exact release date - which is July 22, 2024.

Weekend Gamer Update: Memorial Day Weekend
It’s Memorial Day Weekend, which means I have this Monday off and it’s a long weekend for me. As usual with these holidays, there are a lot of sales and deals all across retailers. I’m planning on going to a few Half-Priced Books to take advantage of their 20% instore purchases. The problem with HPB is that their stocks are limited and are vastly different from store to store. You never know what you are going to see, day to day, store to store.

Steam Winter Sale 2022
Here are three reasons why you would want to invest in buying games on Steam
Game of the Year: Elden Ring
Ever since I started playing Elden Ring in September 2022, I knew this game was special. At first, you might get discouraged, but as you build up your character, you feel accomplished when you finally take down that boss!
Lenovo Legion Gaming PC
I bought the Lenovo Legion T5i 26IOB6 Gaming PC for $850 today from MicroCenter. This is a great price, it’s about 40% off the original asking price. Most of that money probably goes to the Nvidia 3060 video card. Just a quick Amazon search, shows that the average 3060 card is $400-$500. The 3060 card will be a massive improvement over my old 1660 card.
