I own an LGS and during covid I had a lot of “paying it forward” and it created a LOT of extra work for me for very little pay out.

I had a friend from high school who now lives 2200 miles away. He purchased a game through my online shop and instead of shipping it to him he had me give it to someone local. That person bought a game, and did the same thing. This went on for two weeks or so. Everyone wanted me to do some kind of contest for their game. I was putting in 2-3 hours of work for $20 or so. After two weeks or however long it was, I gave up. I told the last person who bought it I gave it to a random person.

This was all during the lock down so I could not even be open at the time. I had to hand deliver the prize around town, or set up a place for them to pick it up. I loved the idea of it all, but it was not worth it on my end at all.

We are all the Ace of Spades.

Cheez whiz and rice

This is sounding like don_dickle2.0

$50 bucks little man, put that shit in my hand.

My town is better than I thought. $25.6 million in expenses, $1.49 million of that is law enforcement. Or 5.7%

Edited because my decimal was over one place too far.

If you are not genociding you have nothing to worry about Israel.

The only games i remember for the N64 were Star Wars racer (i got the one that came with that cartridge), golden eye, and another star wars game, maybe shadows of the empire?

Soul Calibre has me sold, that and Mortal Kombat are my top two arcade games.

I have always wanted a Dreamcast, I do not even know what games I would want for it. At this point I am worried if I get one it will kill the illusion of how awesome the system isis.

Never heard of him.

Guessing mods are only available on Steam, and not on ps5.

Is this going to be like when they found invasion plans and it was just a calendar?

New Mexico also has full abortion access, to the point we are advertising in Texas that we have reproductive rights. i am unsure about the others, but I do not within the last two weeks there was a map published somewhere on Lemmy about abortion care in the US.

In a similar vein, Boba Fett’s backstory being added in Episode II.

I want the chat aspect of discord. I use it for my business (local game shop) to keep customers updated on preorders, new releases, and events at the shop, and to just chat with everyone. It has a much better reach than Facebook or Instagram.

I decided to try guilded.gg as an alternative to discord finally, only to find out they now require a Roblox account to log in. So much for that idea.

Redneck Rampage

Initially I heard about mastodon as a Reddit alternative, it was not. I have never been a Twitter user. I did create a Twitter account at some point, I only ever used it to post images from when I was at occupy Wall Street, and then later to follow a couple accounts for updates (Sean Murray of Hello Games). When I opened my own business I created a Twitter account for that specifically and used it to send out coupon codes and stuff like that.

Once musk bought Twitter I deleted both of my accounts. I had totally forgotten about mastodon, so I got on the list for a Bluesky code. Around the time I got my Bluesky code I heard about Lemmy, and then heard about mastodon again. Had my Bluesky code not arrived when it did, I would have created a mastodon account for my business instead of Bluesky. Since I never use either it is a moot point for me.

Korpiklaani, either Rankarumpu or Kulkija.
