Thank you so much for all of your hard work! I had been trying to adjust to Lemmy and now this truly feels like home

I used to work at Amazon, though nowhere near fulfillment so I'm not an expert but can give you a general perspective from within the company. Carriers also charge the seller for shipping services, so what you pay for as the buyer may be different. Costs are also offset by volume of packages. With 2 days the logistics become less tight than with 1 day. Ground shipping becomes more of a possibility, and is much less expensive comparatively.

This next one may be Amazon specific, but they would preemptively distribute some products shipped from sellers in closer warehouses. If they have to hold the inventory anyways, holding it closer to a metropolitan area makes it easier to use cheaper ground shipping methods. With that in mind, I know inventory holding costs were more of a focus for cost optimization internally.

Recently got a steam deck for the wife, we've been having fun playing Valheim together. Honkai Star Rail and soon to be baldurs gate 3 are also on the docket

tl:dr; rss is a standard format for updates (think title, description, link). Think about rss updates as emails and an rss reader as an email inbox

I know you said preferably no dice, but... have you checked out Perudo/Liar's Dice? It's a cup & dice game based around bluffing

Sherriff of Nottingham is also a great push your luck sort of game but the footprint is probably bigger than you'd like, you're trying to make money by selling goods and maybe contraband past the sheriff, who could also be open to bribery...

 

Excited to have bought the steam deck during the sale! I was planning on grabbing a dock and micro sd card and I noticed there were a bunch of accessories and customizations people could do with this thing. Was wondering if there were anything the community loved in particular?
