Post boi pucci

Ah, so you're saying that Gamestop is only for people too inept to purchase things online?

That would seem to make sense, because the Gamestop was in the middle of a shopping mall.

I was only there killing time before I saw a movie.

Amazon is probably going to start having problems soon. They want to start doing ship-to-home grocery shopping and the like. Things supermarkets are for. They're going to start putting people out of work even more than they already are, and I'm sure the US government is going to step in since we have laws explicitly against monopolies. So enjoy it while it lasts, user.

>They don't hassle me about pre-orders and shit, they will straight up tell the weird autistic people to gtfo because this is Indiana and nobody fucking gives a shit if you're a special snowflake

If anything I'M the autistic asshole because I was coming in just about every day begging for the Xenoblade X special edition back when it was coming out. But you know how Nintendo is with undercutting stock, so I wanted to make sure I got it.

I felt so guilty about being an annoying asshole about it that I would always do the survey and give them amazing scores for putting up with me.

The US doesn't do shit to prevent monopolies user, go to Canada if you dont want those.

ISPs don't effectively ""steal"" Walmart McJobs from people too stupid to go to school or learn a trade.

That being said, it won't save them.
Look at the automobile industry workers.
>WAHHHH ROBOTS TOOK MUH JERBS ITS NOT FAIRRRRR
Yes what a shame that we dont need you to sit on your ass and pull this one lever for 8 hours a day, because we built a robot that can do it all day long and doesn't need a break. Boo hoo.

That's called progress kiddos.

This, I think automation is great actually. It's just a rough transition.
When we reach the point where the only job is robotic repairs and everyone is finally freed from wagecuckery they'll appreciate it.

If by autism you mean Funko Pops then you're fine.

What I wanna know is, where the hell is the landfill of all the Funko Pop dolls that nobody buys, because that's gotta be about the size of Mt. Vesuvius at this point.

Is it next to all the copies of E.T. for Atari 2600?

>tfw you know automation is unstoppable but still want to contribute in some meaningful way to society but can't find a niche that isn't already full or getting replaced by robutts

That's where artists and creators come in, contributing culturally.

user do you know what a monopoly is? A monopoly doesn't mean "kills jobs" like you seem to think.

When was the last time any of you have been in a Gamestop? I haven't been to one since 2011.

Yesterday
I got $22 for turning in Battlefield 1. I've never felt more cheated in all my life.

>autismophobe
>comes to Sup Forums
Nigga, get gone before I send the handlers on break.

Yesterday
I was running some errands in town, happened to be at the same shopping center as my gamestop (bought my bun some hay at the pet store next door), and decided to pay off my Berserk preorder and see if I could find a copy of Nioh

couple weeks ago, getting a Switch preorder

They're fine if I want something cheap and old that I don't care about having new and want right away.

Obnoxious stores, though.

when I bought Oblivion for the 360 on the day of release

never laid my hands on nuTES ever again

amazon.com

Become an artist or musician or something.

Yeah I was also disappointed by BF1.

Why are people saying this? The last thing we need is more terrible artists.

Yesterday.
Wanted a sim racer because I haven't had one since the 360 days. Browsed the shelves before deciding on the complete edition of Project Cars. Pretty good but kind of a narrow selection of manufacturers.

Source on Chinese cartoon?

Then be a good one, you stack of dicks.

It's been at least two years but I'm going to have to go in to cancel my backup preorder of P5 because they have a stupid policy of not being able to cancel it over the phone or Internet AND they charge you if you don't pick it up

Still in the middle of the first. It's alright. Scratches that particular itch.

Oh right almost forgot.

Just in USA, when you go to other countries you see a lot of normies in vidya stores

Are you referring to Lament of Innocence? Because I thought that was on PS2

Thank you kindred spirit

FUCKING GAMESTOP!

Oh I thought we were talking about real Castlevania games.

I remember when I was like 9 and my moms close friend had a daughter (19-20) who worked at the local GameStop. My mom arranged for the schoolbus to drop me off there because my mom worked late.
It was cool. She let me play on the PS2 display cabinet. And during her breaks she used to make me play this game in the backroom where I had to lie down and she'd climb on top and try to tickle me, but the twist was that she "wasnt allowed to use her hands". She invented this game and basically would dry-hump me for like 10-15 minutes at a time.

She'd be there hard grinding against my confused boner and heavy breathing, making noises and the whole time I'd be smiling like an idiot because I thought I was winning.

>mfw I realized years later she was using me to get off

>walk into gamestop
>female (female) working there

It's got castlevania in the title. If you have a problem with the games themselves, then I dunno...Sorry?

Damn son.

this is FUCKING BULLSHIT AND IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY

THE US INTERNET HAS THE WORST STRUCTURE OUT OF EVERY OTHER COUNTRY, WE DONT EVEN REPLACE OUR SHITTY COPPER WIRING IN THE YEAR 2011+6

COMCAST, TIME WARNER, AND CENTURY LINK NEED TO ALL BE BOMBED AND BURNED DOWN

Where the fuck do you live?

I think you're exaggerating just a little bit here

There's World of Warcraft and Overwatch too

this sounds like the plot to a lewd jap comic
why the fuck didn't she just use a dildo vibrator combo like every normal woman?

On top of all of this, cramming people in factories is shameful. There's a reason these jobs are being replaced by robots: they make a robot out of a human.

This automation revolution, with global warming, are our two best bets for shaking things up, so I'm actually quite optimistic.

Recently I went to just about every gamestop in my city trying to pick up an xbox 360 controller. Not a single one had a real controller, if they had anything at all it was some madcatz bullshit. The only people shopping in any of them were 45 year old moms asking about games for their sons. The employees also looked pretty old. One of the stores had all the shelves put away and there was a bunch of dogs running around. Apparently a local pet shelter was doing a dog adoption event inside the fucking gamestop for some reason. I ended up just buying the damn thing on amazon and waiting 2 days for it. Can't believe these stores stay in business.

I bought something at GameStop for the first time in like a decade.

It seems to of become a worse place transaction wise. I had to answer like 4 or 5 questions before I could leave. What's wrong with: "It costs this much. Thank you, have a nice day?"

I don't need your shitty cards or a replacement plan and anything I want to preorder I can do it cheaper and with less hassle on Amazon.

Most employees have a problem of not gauging whether or not to ask the annoying questions through regular conversation first.

>and I'm sure the US government is going to step in since we have laws explicitly against monopolies.

Well i mean when you have a perfectly good child right there

I long for the day robots take over all work and we can just make art and scientific breakthroughs all day
I'll still be sat here wasting my life though

You literally pay for those "discounts"

You fucking idiots, machines already do better jobs for that than humans. The number musicians/artists that were making a decent living 50 years ago compared to now is silly. Machines are going to start replacing skilled technical work like programming in the not too distant future.

>US government going after monopolies
>when all the company has to do is argue that if you split the company up it'll have major repercussions to our world standing/economy
worked for Microsoft and Google

holy kek, I like this pasta

Gamestop is fine. I'll admit I only go there because they have good selection.

It's all so "shilly" it's emberassing.

I adore small mom and pop console repair/game stores though, just cozy incarnate. Half the time I buy something I don't really need just to help them out, but it turns out Spikeout on Xbox is kino after all who knew?

Don't

Also I love arcades, I dont know what it is about them, all the machines, the smell, a respect for the past but optimistic toward the future with online cabinets and what not. Met all my friends through arcades really.

Half the time I hit one up just to meditate on things. I'm dad to see them dying out.

I'm convinced there's a hidden message in this post.

Ive noticed that at every gamestop theres always a lady working there. Are they giving priority to hiring ladies over men?

no user

those funkos were MADE from that landfill of ET carts!

This fucking pasta every time.

Yes because it keeps all the betas flocking

then why hasn't china done this yet?
i mean, robots would work faster and do more than 1 birrion slave children could do. what is stopping them?

cheaper in the short tearm

And instead those people will not have jobs. Shitloads of people in the third world with literally no future. They didn't have much of one before, but now they'll have even less of one. They'll either starve, or their governments will pay for them to survive. Which they won't be able to do, since all those manufacturing jobs will go back to wherever they came from. Once they start automating that shit they're not gonna keep it overseas, they're only there for cheap labor, and robots are free labor. (See: Adidas. They're doing this at this very moment, re-opening factories in Germany, because they're able to automate shit).

Plus I can tell you've never worked in a factory or a warehouse. Make a robot out of a human, shameful. Yeah right. Retail is shameful. Manufacturing is just labor.

For now, because it costs money. In the future, because that would be pretty much the end of China. Already they're soon to be facing a crisis caused by the one child policy where there literally are not enough women in the country. The ratio is so fucked that millions, no matter what, will never marry, because there are simply not enough women.

That's a really bad thing. A really, really bad thing. Now these disgruntled single men who will never find women and start families will never have jobs. That's millions of people with literally nothing to live for.

You're getting smarter. good time to stop using reddit forever.

>go to gamestop to buy animal crossing

what the heck gamestop

honestly, the free shipping is good enough. 100 bucks a year for that, 20% games, amazon video and music services, 1 free twitch subscription, and some other stuff I probably don't know about either is great.

Though I only really use it for shipping and the occasional game.

>because I thought I was winning
you were though

>Millions of people with literally nothing to live for.
whats the difference compared to how it is now?

Try being a wageslave now. You think you have something to live for.

no you just feel empty inside and fill that void with material things and hope you get lucky enough to get a family.

>family requires luck
this way of thinking is why you will always be alone

Oh sweet frozen child

I walked in the day after the ps4 pro announcement and bought a used ps4 for 250 bucks because they literally just dropped the price.other then that last time I was in one I preordered halo reach in 2010.

so you would have a child with just any old bitch that would take you to the cleaners as soon as she can?
you need luck to find someone who isnt a total fucking cunt man, mabey youll learn as you grow up.
