this guy wants 75 dollars when he could literally drive it to my apartment for like 2 dollars in gas. eBay is dead to me

there's a weird amount of people on Reddit lately who think that because an item they're getting is free or discounted, shipping should be free or else the discount is fake

[canadian-riddler]

there was someone who had a free pizza from Domino's, but they wanted it delivered and 'free' didn't meet the threshold for delivery so they 'had' to buy something else to go with it. like. the item WAS free. why would they deliver it for free

there's also a big thing right now on one of the subreddits I follow where a bunch of people got a merch credit, but shipping on the merch isn't free. and multiple people are describing the shipping fee as 'insane' and complaining the credit is actually just a shipping discount

the shipping is fifteen dollars.

that's a totally normal price for shipping. and unless the United States is completely different, free and discounted items have ALWAYS come with the caveat that you pay for shipping and handling. been like that since you mailed box tops for a tshirt twenty years ago.

you wanna see an 'insane' shipping price, try Canadian eBay. minimum thirty dollars. unless you buy from China. their shipping is very cheap, for some reason

THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING! So far it’s just a bigger screen and a better stand. The colours are gone and I’m not sure if having the connector jutting out like instead of sliding the joycons is a good idea? When you take kids into consideration, they will absolutely break off. I think there was talk of potentially having a Ethernet slot on the dock maybe but like… what was the point otherwise

-

non-gamer parents are going to look at it and go 'we have this at home'. and if it's bigger, are children going to be able to comfortably hold it?

apparently the screen isn't going to be OLED, either, so people who just bought an OLED Switch are going to wait for an OLED version. after Valve came out with an OLED Steam Deck, it took them months to sell the LCD versions off even at a discount. their launch market is who? just Nintendo fans and people who really really need to play the next Mario Kart?

really bold of Nintendo to make a console that looks functionally the same as their old one

oh, I forgot about this one. so we need 60 hour games that are perfect, enthralling AND run on computers we built back in, at the absolute minimum, 2005

When you think about it, this an absolutely insane thing to ask for. Gamers will be like ‘just make good games! It’s that easy!’ as though making ANYTHING that you will love for 60 STRAIGHT HOURS is a piece of cake

No, the public is against public servants bc during Covid they bragged about how great they had it and then, after, they threw an absolute fit because the government said they had to actually go to work a single extra day per week

They were throwing such a massive tantrum I literally thought they were going from like one day to five, but no. It was two to three. And they were comparing that to ye olden days where people worked 16 hours in the coal mines, asking why the general public didn’t want them to have improved working conditions. The general public who has to go to work 5 days a week. Absolutely tone deaf on their part

I love these posts lmao. ‘Several million people are trying to buy 500k festival tickets all at the same time! Why is the ticket seller not able to handle the traffic?!’

My other favourite is the plethora of people who are like ‘I entered the queue 2 seconds after it opened! I didn’t get tickets, it’s not fair!’ like you realise you and 500k other people entered the queue 2 seconds after it opened, right. You understand they simply don’t have enough tickets for the amount of people who want to go, right

That sketch pose again except now he's beaten up

The refrain when this conversation comes up is basically ‘just make Baldur’s Gate 3!’ while completely missing that that is, in fact, the third game in that series. Meaning the developers didn’t get things just right until the third try

When you think about it, this an absolutely insane thing to ask for. Gamers will be like ‘just make good games! It’s that easy!’ as though making ANYTHING that you will love for 60 STRAIGHT HOURS is a piece of cake

THE SWIMMING PIC HAS ME SOBBING 😭😭

I was watching a video where someone was complaining that Microsoft wasn't doing anything for the Master Chief Collection's 10th anniversary and halfway through I was like. why am I watching this. this guy is bitching that a game that was released 10 years ago isn't getting new maps. and that game is a port of a bunch of games which are more than 15 years old. why is he acting like it's a huge deal that games that were finished 15 years ago aren't getting new content

'it's so easy! just make the perfect, most enthralling game I've ever seen that's at least 60h long and costs $40 or less!'

When you think about it, this an absolutely insane thing to ask for. Gamers will be like ‘just make good games! It’s that easy!’ as though making ANYTHING that you will love for 60 STRAIGHT HOURS is a piece of cake

I capture moments, but I’m not a thief; I keep memories, but I’m not a brain. What am I?

My latest drawing!

He literally just started complaining about how women get everything in the divorce and that women can get an abortion, but if she decides to keep the baby the man has to pay for it even if he doesn’t want it

And then he said that it was all about to change

We have a guy who will get mad at (usually) his ex wife and then take it out on me as though I represent All Women

This is a guy who once spent three weeks sulking and doing the absolute minimum at work bc he was sexually frustrated. He’s not sorting anything out
