That's fair... But the point I was more trying to make is that Breath of the Wild, an 8 year old game that has a sequel out, is currently full price. It went on sale earlier this year for 40% off.

40% off a $70, 8 year old game is very different than 40% off an 8 year old game that was selling at $40-$50 without a sale.

The difference is: Microsoft and Sony 1st party titles go on sale and eventually come down in price over time.

Nintendo first party titles are always full price, even for 5 year old games.

Anybody else misread the title by moving the hyphen over to the left by one?

This is probably why he wants it:

Unlike American citizens, gold card holders will not have to pay taxes to the U.S. government on their overseas income.

Not sure if that applies to us citizens with gold cards though.

Your friend is not joking. There's an epidemic of disinformation washing across the USA.

And thanks to the disinformation around vaccines, there are also several other types epidemics breaking out...

Tim Allen says Disney would not be making "Toy Story 5" if it was just about the money.

Riiiiight.

I disagree. Ubisoft has been very consistently trash for a while.

Of course not lol. The CMS I usually use stores it as HTML in the database, so I have a go-to HTML sanitization plugin with a tag whitelist. I wish it used markdown or something similar under the hood instead, but it is what it is.

You'd save it to the database in the same field as the rest of the text. You don't store the positions or anything like that - you'd store the text with HTML and have the front end render it as expected.

For instance, the database could have the following text:

Hello <strong>World</strong>

And the front end just renders HTML.

Alternatively, you could store Markdown syntax if you're hesitant to allow HTML.

EDIT: as always, if you store raw HTML, don't forget to sanitize it.

So... anybody else have to read that title a second time because they missed a letter?

4!? Since when was there a Jurassic World 2 and 3? Did they not do any promotions of them or something or do I live under a rock?
