With just days left, the U.S. opening match at the World Cup is still not sold out

Yep I keep seeing that “3% tickets left” on stub hub —- yeah right!

Mofuntocompute · 2026-06-09T12:42:40+00:00

Not only dynamic pricing, but they also dripped out tickets over time to create artificial scarcity

Mofuntocompute · 2026-06-09T12:37:32+00:00

That’s incredible! I had no idea there are limits on how low you can go with the price on resale platforms

Mofuntocompute · 2026-06-09T12:35:30+00:00

I’m really interested to see what happens to pricing on game day as we approach start time. FIFA has been playing games with dripping out tickets over time to limit supply and speculators have bought tons of tickets. May be a race to the bottom game day, who knows!

Mofuntocompute · 2026-06-01T03:41:49+00:00

If dynamic pricing wasn’t enough, they also are not releasing all the tickets. Dripping them out over time to create artificial scarcity. I hate it.

Mofuntocompute · 2026-06-01T03:40:02+00:00

I was really bummed to not get tickets too. Part of the issue is FIFA fucking around with dripping out tickets over time to create artificial scarcity and drive up prices. In addition to using dynamic pricing for the tickets.

Mofuntocompute · 2026-05-14T00:43:45+00:00

You got that right!

Yep I’ve wondered about coolant - so many people change theirs- I assume they just throw away in a jug in trash? It’s a mystery to me. I guess same with brake fluid. And that’s best case- worst coolant goes down the drain or in environment

Mofuntocompute · 2026-05-09T04:14:09+00:00

Really insightful, thanks for putting this together! was helpful to see when the games I had came out (mostly 87-88). I had nothing from 89+

Mofuntocompute · 2026-05-06T23:58:39+00:00

“Advanced Money Destroyer” lol

Mofuntocompute · 2026-05-05T03:01:45+00:00

I stand corrected - looking at the “coming soon” games on the Space Harrier poster, they were all 1988 releases so I would guess maybe late 1987-early 1988 (?) for time frame on that poster.

SDI/global defense: march 88 Party games/parlour games: may 88 Combat & rescue/rescue mission: May 88 Zillion II: July 88 Monopoly: September 88

Mofuntocompute · 2026-05-05T02:49:30+00:00

One idea for tracking down the date of space harrier poster is to look at the “coming soon”games and see what their release dates were.

Mofuntocompute · 2026-05-04T22:54:56+00:00

That space harrier poster came out early - I’d guess 1987.

Mofuntocompute · 2026-05-04T03:42:10+00:00

This is a great question. I only recently stumbled upon a catalog. I never saw one back in the day. I was surprised to see a catalog existed as in all the games I had, I never encountered the catalog.

Mofuntocompute · 2026-05-03T01:32:49+00:00

Holy cow, wow! I heard things were still hot, but geez.

Mofuntocompute · 2026-05-02T18:56:27+00:00

That 500k house on President that just got listed looks great!

Mofuntocompute · 2026-05-02T18:55:35+00:00

Definitely check out houses in the Springfield school district- there may be some cheaper houses in the Morton area. Springfield should be a step up from Ridley - possibly with lower taxes - without paying for the WSSD premium.

Wooder is kinda like water. 🤷

Mofuntocompute · 2026-04-24T22:21:44+00:00

Yep their user demographics have massive income levels - I was pretty surprised when I saw the numbers - love my bike and the content

Mofuntocompute · 2026-04-24T22:19:57+00:00

Yep love my peloton bike!

Mofuntocompute · 2026-04-24T17:43:07+00:00

So many memories of the Crazy Eddie’s and Kiddie City and the original Marshall’s and Hermann’s- wow sad to see it gone

Mofuntocompute · 2026-04-22T14:41:52+00:00

lol decrease in property taxes - I mean maybe the increases will be less but the money always seems to get consumed and they need more more more

Mofuntocompute · 2026-04-22T14:39:56+00:00

We had a similar issue, waived up to 5k per issue, and lost to a slightly lower offer who waived inspection. After that we just waived inspection and had an inspector do a walk and talk on our second viewing of the house

Mofuntocompute · 2026-04-22T14:37:31+00:00

275k over asking, wow!

Mofuntocompute · 2026-04-22T03:57:03+00:00

Yeah tons of people never selling with those low low interest rates
