My brother got me an oled (bless him he is too sweet) so I decided to sell my first gen switch since I feel like the new one will be coming out this summer

And the gamestop employees are first of all the best employees ever. There's a manager and a second in command who are always there and are so chill and play dnd together and always run events. We came in and there was a pokemon trading event going on and they were giving away prizes. I got a sticker.

We roll in, my friend and I, and are talking to the manager about the sale. She's laughing like oh I'll give you full price if you give us some of that sauce (we had just gone to get me gluten free hoisen sauce)

So we chatted for a while and the second in commend floated up to us and goes "You want to hear a story?" Immediately we were both like absolutely.

So he proceeded to explain how a customer was pissed that they had only gotten $20 cash for an Xbox 360. The day he sold it the dude was like cool whatever gas money. But the next day he realized that he could have gotten a lot more either in trade in value or selling it himself. And so dude called the employee and said if he didn't give him a refund he would put a curse on the Xbox.

So the employee goes "jokes on you my mom is a witch" and then hangs up and calls his mom. And the mom tells him to write in permanent marker on his arm. He says no he's at work and can't do that. So she says okay then instead get some toilet paper. Draw a circle with an x. Put it on the Xbox. And flush it down the toilet.

He does so and he said he pet 4 dogs that afternoon. One was named pasta. So good luck acquired.

He left us with one regret. That he didn't get the details of the curse from the man. He would have asked. "What diety do you intend on cursing me with so i can properly protect myself?" And I want that as a mug.

The manager also proceeded to hand me pokemon chopsticks with no explanation at first mid story and afterwards was like oh yeah a Ramen bowl just broke and you look like someone who eats a lot of Ramen. I mean. You probably can't because you're gluten free. But you have options right? Right. Take the sticks.

Love them dearly.

Clippy: When you reach your breaking point, something really terrible can happen. Volnutt: You get hired as a manager at Game Stop.

Dumb Money (2023)

🎬Dumb Money is the ultimate David vs. Goliath tale, based on the insane true story of everyday people who flipped the script on Wall Street and got rich by turning GameStop into the world's hottest company.

📝I remember this crazy story from 2021 when we were all some sort of lock down. I saw the trailer and decided to check it out.

It's a fun story and it is enjoyable but it felt a bit rushed, there were many characters and I felt that they didn't spend enough time on them. It is entertaining and kept me engaged and amused but if you want a lengthy in-depth story, you may be disappointed. I was rooting for the working class investors and it has a good every day guy giving the hedgefunds a run for their money which was fun and great to watch.

Saw Dumb Money yesterday - it was really good

[ruleof3bobby]

DUMB MONEY (2023) Grade: C+

Not as much charm as the #BigShort or #WolfonWallStreet comparably. Still strong, with skilled actors in almost every role. #PaulDano and #VincentDOnofrio are underrated comic actors. It was missing something though. Someone from GameStops POV would had been interesting.

My Rating: 5/10

My Review (NO SPOILERS):

I mean...it got the job done? The preview led me to believe this would be a funnier and more dramatic movie than it actually was. Felt like it just did the minimum...everything the movie would *almost* get there, and I'd think they're going to break the barrier and go a bit deeper, it would cut away. Still, it told a story about the STOCK MARKET (ew) in a way that wasn't boring. It was no Wolf of Wall Street, but it kept my interest so I'll give it that.

It explained the whole Game Stop situation in a way that mostly made sense to someone who knows very little about the stock market and the situation going on. It explained why it was bad for the rich guys and good for the rich guys. I didn't leave the movie completely understanding the stock market, or even the Game Stop incident entirely, but I could at least explain to someone else in very basic terms what it was about. I think.

It was a fun enough movie. I don't know if I'd recommend that you go out and see it in theaters or even rent it, but it'd be an interesting enough movie to watch if it's ever streaming for free somewhere.
