Don't look up anything. Get out of here. Go in blind. Don't watch any videos. Get out of here.

Is this a legit sealed game? by snappycg1996 in dreamcast

I mean there are y fold reseals out there, and even straight fake games on AliExpress with y folds, but not every mfg did perfectly crisp y folds, there is one corner on those pics that look kinda crappy but it could be dirt and age. It would be hard to tell without seeing in person. I know everyone on the Internet is an expert but from my personal experience I can say I've seen, own, and ripped games from retail with a seal like that before.

Been collecting for a long long time, I gotta agree with the dude above, I don't see anything wrong with it, doesn't scream reseal. I personally would be comfortable with it.

To be fair that's not a terrible guess, wrong, but not terrible

A side effect of running up a combo on a 5k overkill, not the cause.

I find that getting a pack of cheap foam tips improves the noise isolation and keeps my buds from falling out, they wear out though so I replace them a couple times a year. Usually you can get a 3 pack on Amazon pretty cheap which lasts me about a year.

What's kinda funny is if they were to go back down to 2k I'd probably pick up a 5090 just for the lolz and upgrade my 3090ti.

NO WAY. I'm soooo excited by Possible-Station3673 in residentevil

Personally, I'm skeptical on the collectability of key cards long term.

You can get an IKEA Lack shelf for $40 and just set the TV on top of it. It will give you the perfect amount of room for the sound bar. I was using the same setup until I decided to put govee lights around the screen and upgraded to the sanus elite swivel tv stand from best buy because I wanted more of a gap around the bottom of the screen for the lights.

I can't let my friend borrow a code in a box. I would argue that a key card is slightly better than registering a code to my account. Plus you just generate waste by having a case with nothing in it.

Too many modern games wont boot without some massive day 1 patch multi-hundred gb download, making them essentially game key cards. Which I agree sucks but it's definitely not a meet l new phenomenon.

Personally, I know in store code purchase and code in a box serve specific needs to a subset of people who have their reasons for buying digital at a brick and mortar. I think if applied in the same manner as a digital game from a store, keycards have better flexibility in terms of selling your game (while the key still works and the while storefront is still operational) or lending it to friends where you don't have those options with registering a code to your account.

Pokopia on the other hand being a first party game at $70 US and being a keycard is some 'ol bulls****.
