I didn't realize ARMA 3 ever came in hardcopy. I only got the first ArmA on DVD. Starting with Arma 2 it was all digital download.

When's the last time has everyone rented a physical movie? .
I believe for me it was around 2004 from my local Blockbuster. In 2005 I got Netflix and the rest as they say is history.

He decided to stop the Smithsonian Magazine subscription because it had gone way to the left with their over the top woke articles.. Same thing has happened with National Geographic.

1. A PC game - Steam early adopter here. Never bought a hard copy ever since - probably 2004
2. A music album - A week ago. Vinyl, a gift. Otherwise, Tidal subscription keeps me happy.
3. A movie or tv series - Blu-ray disks now and then. Movies only, I detest all recent TV Series - besides Chernobyl.
4. A magazine - can’t remember
5. A newspaper - Apple Daily, every week day. A Hong Kong tabloid, the only anti-CCP Chinese print media left standing in the territory.
Cheers, Slug

Off on a tangent; when was the last time anyone wrote a cheque? I received a refund recently for Road Tax on a sold vehicle by cheque, filling in a paying-in slip i noticed the last date of me issuing a cheque was 2010!
As to all the questions Panzer polled....so long ago that i can't recall, except newspapers. And that was only because my Mother in Law who came to live with us insisted on having her Daily Mail which I had to complete a six-mile round trip to obtain daily until her death in 2018

The last time I wrote out a printed check was probably around 2008.

My wife was a Mathematician by training/trade. She loved to do all the books/taxes by hand -- as she had for more than half a century. Including checks. So, I didn't write checks As of a year ago, we're on-line like the rest of the world. We're still behind the times because not all our bills are on auto-pay. Checks only when no other option
Sapphire Pulse RX7900XTX, 3 monitors = 23P (1080p) + SAMSUNG 32" Odyssey Neo G7 1000R curve (4K/2160p) + 23P (1080p), AMD R9-7950X (ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420), 64GB RAM@6.0GHz, Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER MB, (4x M.2 SSD + 2xSSD + 2xHD) = ~52TB storage, EVGA 1600W PSU, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower, ASUS RT-AX89X 6000Mbps WiFi router, VKB Gladiator WW2 Stick, Pedals, G.Skill RGB KB, AORUS Thunder M7 Mouse, W11 Pro

All WOFF updates and extensions. ? no to newspapers or Mag's
I dont think Auto pay is a good idea Maybe for the Business.

Auto-pay is great assuming the person doesn't live paycheck to paycheck or they have enough of a cushion in their accounts in case some major unforeseen expense occurs.
