    How to gift a video game if I don't know the platform

    Please help! We are doing an Angel tree gift this year for an 11 year old who asked for video games. Unfortunately, nothing indicates the platform, and I've tried and failed to find that out. How best to proceed? We looked at visa gift cards, but it looks like those don't always allow you to add them to your console. Would a GameStop gift card be the best option?

    Camera. If I'm buying something that expensive, it better have a great camera.

    Durability concerns. If a little speck can ruin the screen, then it's not ready to be a daily driver for me.

    Knitting, crocheting, embroidery, cross stitch, etc. The work is meditative, and you get in a groove waiting to see what the next row or stitches will look like. Producing an object feels productive, and gives a feeling of accomplishment.

    Choose bright colors and fun patterns, and it's a lot of fun. There are patterns for all interests, so don't think this is the realm of only little old ladies. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    Well dang. That’s disappointing. I recently converted to Mac and wanted to take advantage of the integration. I take a ton of pictures though and don’t want a camera that’s sub par. My current is the s22 ultra, so ideally it would be similar quality.

    Thanks for your feedback. It gives me something to think about.

    I’m considering moving from Android to iPhone, but I read a lot about iPhone images being over processed. What’s your opinion? Am I going to be disappointed in the camera? I did find this thread where one user mentioned it may be the viewer on the iPhone, and that pictures look fine viewed on other devices. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252045269?answerId=254613831022#254613831022 I’m curious to hear opinions.

    Most of my writing lives in Ulysses (a Mac application) and gets synced through iCloud. Before I was a Mac person, I tried Scrivener and one or two online novel writing applications. I always keep backups somewhere in the cloud and on at least one computer.

    One requirement for me is to have my writing available everywhere I am, so I don’t want it to be tied to one particular device.

    Where does yours live, and why?

    Why would she (or anyone) buy a game without making sure their device can play it? Sure, it would be great if it were available on the Mac, but as a Mac owner, I would know to check that first. I don't blame her for wanting it to be available, but I read that she's asking for a refund because it won't work. If the average everyday buyer wouldn't get a refund, then she shouldn't either.

    You would be devastated, but that doesn't mean everyone would react the same as you would. Your wife will be a better judge of her father's temperament, and ultimately, it's her decision. It seems like you're very focused on convincing her that your way is the "right" way to go about this. I'd encourage you to step back and realize that both paths have potential for harming their relationship. This should be your wife's to handle.
