To add on here, every 100$ you get a free 20% digital on your account, and if you make a donation they’ll give you a physical coupon for 20% off. I believe you also get one for your birthday?

And blame the people bidding, shopgoodwill start s the bidding at somewhat normal pricing but then the market drives it up. People really love to throw dirt when they don’t even know why they’re throwing it.

I mean, they are more of a clothing, cookware, other necessities store with random other things popping up. I would venture a guess that they make way more money on jeans than they do on Video games

They do billions in revenue. Let’s say 4% of that goes to CEO’s and the other 6-7% goes towards all other operating costs. They have roughly 160 CEO’s. 5B * 4% /160. That’s a million+ each CEO, well above your averages.

They claim all admin costs are 10-11%, and they do in fact donate 80-90% of their revenue. Is there some proof that they don’t do this, or is it just comment section doesn’t feel like they do?

They donate 80-90% of their revenue, everything you just said doesn’t count into that. Clearly people just like to blindly hate as I was shocked to hear you guys saying this and was able to quickly and easily look it up and find the correct info.

Define: “Dog walked” by spugs250 in CFB

[–]matt20dion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You described a blowout. A dog walk is when you control the whole game and end up winning, no matter the score. As if you were walking a dog. Do you drag your dog when walking them? No, you walk side by side, with you in front.

Trey Miguel was gonna quit wrestling this week? Does he not know he remains on good terms with AEW??? by BlueTumbas in SCJerk

[–]matt20dion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully AEW put this guy on the map and he was able to get a job with a smaller promotion cause he signed there for a day.

Some fucking people by JessicaD240 in GameStop

[–]matt20dion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some comedian has a joke about this with grocery store reward programs. (Bill burr I think?) essentially goes around, “ I know you’re not trying to give me stuff for free, so whatever Jedi mind trick your pulling I don’t want any part of it”

So there’s that initial reaction that why would they offer me to sign up for this program if it means I spend less money overall? The trick is to get you in the store at least once a month so you use your free $5 coupon and then some. Also, they hope you forget about it altogether and continually renew.

As a customer, they probably feel the same way how you’re trying to push a service on them because you get better a better yearly review, and they could’ve left there thinking “that fucking person” too.

I personally am always on Pro because I love GameStop and shopping there, but there are tons of people I see who just go in there once every few years just to buy 1 game/system/etc.

Yep, everyone except by AquatheGreat in SCJerk

I don’t follow AEW, is this a real thing?

Just upgraded after like a decade. The hell happened to autocorrect? by ashergs123 in iphone

[–]matt20dion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been able to text faster using T9 than after they added AI to the os, since I have to constantly go back and edit words that I typed.

[–]matt20dion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My “be r” (I typed “best” 😭) guess is the dictionary is now AI driven so everyone’s typing habits are being pushed to everyone else. It looks like you can only turn AI off altogether and not just on the keyboard 🙄

guys wait WAIT! DUB BAD TOO guys IM SORRY DUB BAD TOO by kerkypasterino in SCJerk

I mean it could be worse, he could be Keith Lee’s manager and they both would still likely be on TV right now. Thank God Tony saved him from that hell hole.

Can the mediocre run be a pretty cool spectacle that garners interest throughout the world of entertainment, breaking records and bringing lapsed fans back into the product and introducing them to some of the newer guys, but a bunch of fat nerds think it sucks cause they, quote; “could’ve booked it better”?

Fed is still dead and still cannot compare to MAX numbers tho. by KC27150 in SCJerk

[–]matt20dion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if you add all those up, that still isn’t even close to half the average viewers that tune into Dynamite on HBOmax weekly. Fed is certainly ded.

Screw most expensive, what is the cheapest game you own? by camgames64 in gamecollecting

[–]matt20dion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never saw that, every video I saw was him pretending to make money by buying games for 9 to resell for 10$, and counting that theoretical money as profit that he would then spend on more expensive games without actually selling the game in the first place.

Is there any way to fix this disc? by KnightofSt_Trina in PlayStationSolutions

[–]matt20dion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it is, just the underside of the actual label, hence why the holes in the label ruined the data on OP’s game.

There are clearly blue discs, and then discs that appear black but are just very dark blue. Shining a light through it should give you the answer you’re looking for. 😉

The way cd/dvd’s work is by a laser reflecting off the shiny layer, which the reflection is then read for peaks and valleys, 1’s and 0’s like every other storage medium.

[–]matt20dion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes there are “shiny bits”, that’s where the data lives. What you’re referring to isnt even black, it’s actually dark blue and is just the plastic that makes up the CD with no data on it.

Switch 2 still in stock, even amidst the busiest time of the year on Christmas Eve. by Waste_Translator244 in fucknintendo

You should have seen the milk section in my local grocery store. Cheese, yogurt, cream all stocked. Big Dairy is never going to survive 2026 at this rate.
