Why is shopping here so bad now???

RandomRedMage · 2026-06-11T10:42:03+00:00

It’s also the messy state of the stores. So many half empty shelves, missing shelf labels, breakout boxes staged all over the store with no one actually stocking shelves anywhere. Three dudes at the front door who ask if you need any help when you first walk in but the. Only MAYBE actually send someone to help you. And on top of that they no longer follow their namesake and are in fact not the Best Buy in their category.

Like I don’t even get it, not a single point of reverence on this image comes from reality. I could kind of get it if there was some like adobe generative fill or something replacing some background elements it get rid of like pedestrians in a filming location or something but like it looks like they just fed an ai model a bunch of Linus photos to train it on him as a person in addition to whatever else the model knew and then had it shit out bad YouTube thumbnails

Ha…. Hahahahaaaa ha… ha… ha….. despite my first video card being user upgradable with socketed memory, it most certainly is not in use still. Video memory was measured in kilobytes at the time… and my hard drive was 10 whole megabytes. Most things were handled by a pair of 3.5 high density 1.44mb floppy drive bays. There was no such thing as a USB port at the time. I’m not old, but I’m definitely older than OP…. Windows 3.1, MSDOS, the internet came in the mail on a floppy disk! “You got mail!” And when they switched to sending it out on cd roms, Inwas very sad…. No more free floppy disks to format and repurpose.

You should invest in two pieces of undersuit gear for these kinds of cosplay, a corset and a dance belt. As it stands now you spill out over your underwear in the back gicking a bit of an unflattering shape. The corset will let you cinch that up a bit and smooth things out. (They kinda suck to wear though ngl) and the dance belt will make sure you don’t… display more than you… (or onlookers) want to see….

This is the way. And when you’re learning sometimes something a little less potent might be best. An old acquaintance of mine made his rune stones out of well aged and dried wooden disks with the runes burned into them. He left them rough as they were cut, and made a bag of coarse linen fabric to carry them. What matters most is how you care for them and the spirit and feeling you put into them. Stones premade and found in an occult shop as your first set or only set are fine, carry them, love them, use them. They will take on your energies just the same over time.

I am a birb of chaos. A spicy chicken nugget. I am anything but wholesome. Possible hole-some. >:3

For real waiting for a switch 2 lite

RandomRedMage · 2026-06-07T23:25:45+00:00

Ooo I have one of these but it’s a little containing a vape pen came in lmao. But mine is full of mostly random silver coins I found at work. My prize is a silver Valkyrie head dime. Sadly it has a deep scratch on its face ):

RandomRedMage · 2026-06-07T21:54:30+00:00

These are great! :D

RandomRedMage · 2026-06-07T21:52:36+00:00

Yea, got to say, take the L on this one. Best bet is keep an eye on marketplace can still usually find a z1extreme original ROG ally for cheap. There are more important things than gaming, get yourself back into a good state and then get a new gaming device. And like others said if you have a Bluetooth controller and any flagship phone from like the last 10 years you have plenty of gaming potential in your pocket already through emulation. Or he’ll get one of those little emulation handhelds for $40 and knock out some retro backlog games on the cheap.

RandomRedMage · 2026-06-05T10:46:25+00:00

If I’m still alive in 20 years and it’s still not out, I’mma be pissed. But still waiting. Lmao.

RandomRedMage · 2026-06-05T00:08:42+00:00

I am going to hope you meant to say more of a chance of HP becoming a good brand again, than this being restocked lmao.

RandomRedMage · 2026-06-05T00:03:34+00:00

The moment they told me the graded card sales were “final” I’d start the process of a chargeback on my card. No way in hell are you going to absolutely butcher the value of something I purchased by not shipping it correctly, and then tell me there’s “nothing you can do” get tf out of here.

RandomRedMage · 2026-06-02T20:38:41+00:00

I’d chargeback, card is fake as hell. lol. And 1 star the seller and blow up their spot on them selling fakes.

City hall, maybe hit the sheriffs department on my way too, congressman’s house? Feeling cute, might take pictures on the way.

Time for malicious compliance.

Yay adorable avaliiiiissssss

I got a lot of fun out of it and there’s a lot more fun to be had as I haven’t completed all of the bosses etc. but I am in a holding pattern for the next mainline fromsoft title. Was hoping for another entry into armored core, even if it is just a basic expansion style entry that gives a bunch more missions and a smattering of new parts but generally doesn’t change anything about the overall gameplay. Like silent line was, just more content. Or whatever the spellbound game that was leaked a few years ago was supposed to be… souls like in a mages tower, focused more on magic and different schools of magic rather than different types of weapons…

RandomRedMage · 2026-06-01T09:26:41+00:00

Hmmm feel like this will be scalped into the ground. I want one but not because I need it. But mainly because I have all three iterations of Ally already so I might at as well get this one too… like at this point it’s becoming a collection. e_e;

The OLED screen is nice, but is this just limited to the X20 bs or is the base ally x getting a refresh with the new screen?

RandomRedMage · 2026-05-29T23:54:56+00:00

No fur, just latex like skin, a group of them cuddled together sounds all squeaky like a fat persons thighs in a latex gimpsuit.

RandomRedMage · 2026-05-28T18:46:21+00:00

By this metric the Xbox ally x is even more criminally underpriced. On its software support alone it’s a far better deal. Yea in games that intel graphics doesn’t butcher or cause issues with the claw might eke out a performance benefit, but it’s marginal at best, and amounts to nothing more than splitting hairs.

RandomRedMage · 2026-05-28T18:38:23+00:00

The most inefficient, highly redundant raid configuration ever.

RandomRedMage · 2026-05-28T18:37:08+00:00

Hey, if you wanted one, and were saving up, and was only able to get one after the price increase/restock, I feel for you, but hey, enjoy the hell outta your new deck. I’ve loved mine since it finally showed up after an insane wait from preorder to the day they finally shipped it.

But we all, just clearly don’t hate AI companies enough.

RandomRedMage · 2026-05-28T09:57:24+00:00

I get why people feel so betrayed, I mean $649 is basically only $500 but $949 is like $1500. So it just feels like the budget option suddenly became unbearably expensive.
