New Garanikor video: Every Mr Beast Video Ever

So yeah, that's what I am anticipating, they're marking up their used hardware prices higher than new retail, so the average joe and jane consumer comes in to buy and they see the price difference, and automatically go for new to help more the inventory out, doing GameStop a favor in the process

000

(and Loss Prevention watched it like a hawk too, and busted store staff that were trying to flip on trade-ins)

100

So the only place they'd have any competition with are pawn shops, but there's usually a multi-week hold on those, and eBay, and the team that runs prices are nobody's fool, they watch eBay for trending prices daily...they'll never admit to it, but I knew people on the inside during my time that did

100

So unless Sony changes their "disc-less future" stance, which I'd be surprised if they caved, I don't foresee GameStop stocking new PlayStation 5 hardware after this holiday season, if they even have enough inventory at their remaining locations for this coming Black Friday

100

All operating profits from GameStop are wholly dependent on the sale of used games. If they sell through their new supply with no intentions of getting any more because of the way Sony is effectively cutting retailers out of the proverbial game, the only way GameStop can make any money back is used

100

But in this instance of USED hardware, specifically console hardware, it looks like they're deliberately trying to liquidate their stock levels of *new* PlayStation hardware. New consoles are almost always (with the exception of Nintendo late in the cycle) are sold with no profit margin, $0.00 net

Most of the time when this happens it's usually an oversight, that the team that's responsible for increasing/decreasing the price of used games and hardware faster than the flow of business of whatever the new price is. There were a handful of times this accidentally happened w/high profile titles

Different scale, scope, and intention on the target platform You must also consider the X factor of the director of the game itself

Imagine if it was actually developed for the PlayStation 3 rather than the PSP, almost all of your legitimate criticisms would be addressed had it not. It actually might have been open world instead of super short missions (to play in short bursts on the go), setting the stage for MGSV

Revisiting it in Volume 2 has been a revelatory experience, there’s so much I’m seeing now from a gameplay perspective that I somehow completely missed the first time around in 2008

We thought it was his son initially because that's who he got the Wii for but when they were being signed "CV" for Ciro Vigilante (I'm kidding, that is his given birth name, first generation Sicilian, learned english from watching gen 1 Transformers and RoboTech), we knew it really was him

Our district manager at GameStop would post to the message board after hours, it was pretty surreal

An embarrassment of riches when it comes to the source material, eh?

Excellent work, Boss, that’s why you’re the best!

No matter how many times I finish a 100% best ending run, that ending where she reveals herself and for a very brief moment let’s her hair down (proverbially and literally) it still makes me feel like I’m 14 again seeing the most beautiful woman in the world, with a tear in my eye

If you do end up having any flavor of it as long as it’s type two, that is perfectly manageable and treatable with medication, first line therapy is Metformin and dietary guidance But it is absolutely the right thing to get tested, best news could be that you’re fine!

I did (before the procedure and still do today) nasal irrigation so I didn't have to deal with that, but the shear amount of "blood jelly" I get getting out of every rinse made me question how much blood was still left in my body

I was given antibiotics during my follow up visit where the doctor found the abscess & within 24 hours the swelling was gone & in 48 hours it I couldn't feel it anymore and by the following week there was no evidence of it ever being there, which was good because if it did rupture, life threatening

April of 2022, it was a big ask at work because I had only been with the company for 6 months...and this was just 2 months after the fire I was supposed to only be out for two weeks, but it ended up being almost a month because an abscess form on inside my upper lip and was at risk of rupturing

When I got my deviated septum corrected, I couldn't breath until the wounds were healed enough that the ENT could remove the stints in my nose...but once he did it was a night and day difference

Given how monotonous it was and the work was extremely repetitive with no variation…ever…I could not do that every day even if it was a livable wage, soul crushingly boring

My very brief stint of working a factory job (before my entire hiring group was shit canned) was…an experience…bell rings for lunch EVERYONE stops and shuffled to the break room. Bell rings to go back everyone drones back. Bell rings for the end of shift, yabba dabba doo like not even kidding
