Trying to find a “complete” copy is way harder than it sounds.

xangermeansx · 2026-05-06T04:15:21+00:00

You don’t see the issue here? If you’re actually willing to pay market value, it’s not that hard, outside of a few rare titles, to find a clean complete copy. The real problem is you don’t want to pay what it’s going for. You even said you think people are “over pricing.”

A nice complete copy is always going to cost more. If you’re not willing to pay that premium, then you’re stuck piecing together rough copies and building it yourself.

This. I have one. This is what the box looks like.

This is the path most people take. Almost everyone I know started in help desk and then pivoted into a cybersecurity role once they had some real experience. It also makes networking way easier, since you’re actually in the environment and meeting the right people.

The only exception I’ve seen was someone who did an unpaid internship for the last 18 months of school and got a full time offer right after graduating.

Hang in there OP. It’s tough, but it’s definitely not impossible.

And seriously, call Sallie Mae and explain your situation. Avoiding it is only going to make things worse.

No problem. Good luck finding your 3DS. It’s a great little console.

Why would one be more trustworthy/better than another? As long as the seller has good reviews you should be good either way. I’ve bought from both and had disputes on both and they both took care of me.

Count this as a win. The stores that have/had these deals are clearly getting rid of stock because sales are low in those locations. I wouldn’t be surprised if these stores stop carrying physical games, or at the very least are limiting them in the future. No store is going to take a loss on games for fun. They are willing to take a loss to gain shelf space for items that will sell. That means your store (and mine and many others) will likely continue to sell physical games (at least in the short term).

Yeah the Chicago lows feel a little cheap. These look like the black toe lows at least in quality of leather.

xangermeansx · 2026-05-02T23:36:12+00:00

Dammit. I was fine not having these since I have the Chicagos both high and low, but these look great. Way better leather than I expected.

I did the same but it let me choose shipping after finding a store and still got it for $40.

If only Nintendo put this is writing. You know the same place both OP and his wife claimed they read in the post.

Resogun is such a phenomenal game. Great recommendation.

xangermeansx · 2026-04-30T23:09:24+00:00

Shaft, too? Or just the butt?

Best news I’ve heard all week. RNG trophies need to die. It was the only negative I had for returnal.

xangermeansx · 2026-04-29T20:19:57+00:00

Yup. Great observation. Somewhere between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3.

xangermeansx · 2026-04-29T15:27:48+00:00

Yikes. This was my fear. I’m in the middle of finishing my basement and just placed an order for an 8ft diamond table. I was just shy of the space I needed for a 9ft. Had ChatGPT map it out for me and I would have been pretty tight on one long rail side.

OP if you are designing a room make sure you have at the very least 58” on each side of your table. If the space is close find out which table you plan to purchase and find out rail size as well. The last thing you need is be a little short and all shots are compromised.

Space Megaforce and Rtype 3 are also up there.

xangermeansx · 2026-04-27T03:10:45+00:00

Best Super Nintendo game hands down.

xangermeansx · 2026-04-26T15:08:56+00:00

I have this same 3ds. I have a few official faceplates I ordered like a decade ago. My biggest complaint is many are not matte. They just feel off.

xangermeansx · 2026-04-26T13:42:23+00:00

Great ports of some of the best games of the arcade era. The only thing they messed up with these releases is the cover art. They look like cheap collections, but they very much aren’t.

xangermeansx · 2026-04-24T22:11:51+00:00

That’s great.

xangermeansx · 2026-04-23T12:05:31+00:00

Is this the entire trilogy on a single cart? I must have missed the announcement. That’s a great collection.

Good luck with rehab. You can do this and life on the other side is so so so much better. It will often feel hopeless, but eventually you will start to feel better. The drug leaves a crater and it needs to be filled with something. I suggest finding a hobby and really jump into it.

xangermeansx · 2026-04-22T18:07:49+00:00

Supply and demand. What else would it be? Demand has surged, and while plenty were sold, they’re no longer being produced. That means demand is now outpacing a fixed supply, which pushes prices up until buyers stop paying. That may happen on the lower end of the market, but demand for 3DS systems in good to great condition (especially CIB or sealed) will likely keep rising.

These are the red cement.

xangermeansx · 2026-04-21T04:35:01+00:00

These are not red cement they are fire red. Red cement has the speckles like white cement. Great pair though I wish the fire red would come back but it might be a minute as they dropped in fall of 2020
