You do that shit every other time you create an argument with yourself, so I guess this makes sense.
Carry on, Professor Autism.

Vericose Venn Diagrams
A couple of weeks ago a group of people from outlaying cities made a day trip out of visiting all the Game Craze stores in Rochester (there's 8, including mine). Two of them (so far) have posted youtube videos about the experience. While one was far more fair than the other, both of them complained about poor customer service in a couple of locations. The poor customer service was that they didn't like the prices posted on items they wanted to buy and got upset that an employee wouldn't "give them a deal." They also complained that someone wouldn't let them look at stuff in a part of the store not open to customers. Shit is back there for a reason, not for sale, whatever.
They were complimentary to my location, so there's no personal axe to grind. But I'm part of a brand that's getting shit heeled because they expect to pay less for stuff simply because they walked into a store for the first time. I keep fighting the urge to post some rebuttal on their youtube, because I know there's no way to do so without looking like a tool.
BUT IT BUGS ME>>!24eg
Employ the TNL Defense Force. I'm sure we can shitpost them.
Links to the videos?
Do you remember these guys?
I don't want to give them the hits. They're small time, they get like 200 clicks at most it seems.
They made a skit in the parking lot of the store they hated the most in which they reenacted what happened and of course completely exaggerated it. What's even more maddening is that one of the guys worked at a game store, and after the improvised reenactment started to defend the place, but he was cut out of one video completely and cut off at "to be fair guys," in the other. (in the video, dude acts like he wanted 25 cents off something, when it was really 25 PERcent. We generally give half of what we'll sell for, so no, we aren't going to cut our profit in half just because you're a cheapskate).
I know the person they were complaining about, and he's one of our best employees. But he's an employee. His job is to cash people out and try to not let shit get stolen. He doesn't set the prices and it's not his stuff to haggle with either. When I told him about it, he was flabbergasted. He thought everything was fine except having to tell 8 guys in a row that he couldn't lower prices. But even after that discomfort, he said they were all talking classic games and rpgs. But they painted him to be an asshole game nazi.
Fucking babies.
That's frustrating. As a former EB guy, I commiserate. I don't set the prices. I may disagree with them (in EB's case) but don't be mad because I won't give you, a stranger, a fucking deal. This isn't a flea market.
As a former ban ages employee, I really didn't give a shit and probably wouldn't have cared one way or the other what thy did.
Edgy
Fuck the hits, I want to see these videos and shit all over them.Quote:

I think if you actually turned the rebuttal into a funny comparison video, you could potentially come out looking like the winner and get hits/visits to your store based on cleverness. It would have to be just right, though - or else you'd like like a dingus.Quote:

So is Chux's game room turning into Kid 2's room?
Or I'll get ahold of Matt, but here's the deal Slim. You don't want them to get hits for the satisfaction of being popular, yet if you spoof their video, they'll have to get hits anyway to get the joke. Either way press is press and they aren't the ones selling things to gain from.
Yes. Profound sadness.Quote:

That's a losing battle, though.
Chux, you are man. And you are real estate guy. Get a building permit and build a fucking man cave in the backyard and call it the Palace of Pixels. Then build your princess a Disney themed treehouse with your newly acquired carpentry skills.
Some neighborhoods have charters that don't allow that stuff. Or black people.
Nothing like that here. I could probably making it a giant cock and be alright.Quote:

Shut up, Dave! I want him to build this bad ass arcade in his back yard we can all benefit from. One room alone will be dedicated to Aladin and Dark Wing Duck/Ducktails ports.
or have planned ahead when you were house hunting...you knew she wanted a family.
But if it's not a big deal to you, it's not a big deal.
Even if he put them in the same room now, eventually they'd want their own rooms. May as well get it over with now.
Planning ahead and being able to afford a four bedroom house vs. a three are two different things though.
edit: Unrelated but on topic, we traded Comcast for Charter. Son of a bitch. Lay fiber faster, Google.
We just knew kids, we knew no more than 2, and we knew that this probably wouldn't be the end all be all house.Quote:

Nonsense! Chux, listen. you will pull your connections at the city and the Naval Academy to build an underwater layer 100ft below the Chesapeake, a short canoe trip and scuba tank from your house, filled with 100 cabs from the original Ms Pacman to Street Fighter IV, skee-ball and whac-a-mole, fiber optic cables running to eight separate LAN stations and a home theater for consoles with a three phase, 480 volt custom surround sound system and 40 foot screen which will make George Lucas himself weep, which you shall christen the Dungon of Digits! and it will be good.
You don't really need a massive man cave, a small tv/monitor thrown in the corner somewhere with a good set of headphones will suffice.
And a blanket that you can drape over yourself so you can make a little fort.
Blanket fort is clutch as fuck btw.
I think you should put a micro-house in the backyard and use that for a game room. Shit would be real deal.
My air conditioner stopped blowing cool air. I went outside to check, and it was making a funny noise, and the big fan had stopped blowing. I turned it off and called the repair place. They're coming tomorrow morning (good news). I suspect it won't be as simple as a new fan motor (bad news).
This is really the best plan. Wives never want to fix those things up.Quote:

You come out with oracular-ass generalities about the weirdest shit. How many married men or women do you know who have built backyard micro-houses dedicated to videogames? Of that number (it's zero), how many wives fix them up and how many do not? And how many of your backyard-videogame-micro-house-owning friends or the non-fixing-up-wives-of-backyard-videogame-micro-house-owning-men have had their backyard videogame micro-houses broken into? Any particular game these backyard-videogame-micro-house-in-breakers tend to target? Any lock brands we should avoid?Quote:

This is a better question.Quote:

But then the wife will want to fix it up.Quote:

Man, I already know how this discussion is going to go. Josh and the get along gang will tell me just how common micro houses are, then I'll say none are in the south, and Yoshi will come in all flabbergasted and upset and tell me to not speak for the south and that his ultra white up and coming north Carolina neighborhood has an actual surplus of micro houses. So many micro houses that they are now just called houses and normal houses are called macro-houses.

I also already know how this discussion is going to go, you are going to talk out your ass about shit you don't know about, then when someone corrects it you'll devolve the thread into the most pedantic of shifting arguments. I'm just going to mention Yoshi doesn't live in a white neighborhood.Quote:

And I suggested to build just what you are talking about now, several posts ago...

At first I thought the Wii U died and thought of the karma of telling Frogacuda that I haven't regretted my decision to buy it. Then I realize the TV is off and won't power back on either. I unplug the power strip from the wall, thinking back to my air conditioner that died yesterday, and wonder if I'm having power surges or dips.
Just in case, I start unplugging everything else from the power strip (PS2, PS3, PS4, XRGB2+, etc.) When I get to one end, my fingers feel wet. I smell my finger (always a good idea), and the fucking cat peed on the power strip. I sterilize all of the unplugged cords and dry them, then plug them into the wall directly one-by-one. Thankfully, they all work. I unplug everything again and half wish the cat would have gotten what he deserved, Christmas Vacation style.
See, if you built a microhouse, you wouldn't have had to deal with that.
Also if you didn't have a fucking cat.
I've had cats about as long as I've had video games. I have to say this is the first time the two conflicted.

Choke out that cat. Why risk another problem?
Does that cat usually have accidents outside of a litter box? Is it a male? That can be a sign of bladder problems, which could mean a trip to the vet or the cat dying a painful death (either may sound good).
Holy shit microstoop.
Driving home late last night my car suddenly made a loud grinding noise whenever I accelerated. Knowing my brakes need to be replaced sometime this year I figured it was just the calipers maybe bending a bit. I go out to look this morning and it's actually a flat tire, and reinflating it also almost blew it up because the screw I apparently drove over at some point destroyed the inner ring.
Still, buy a new tire, easy fix. It's bugging me because I ordered a new car a couple weeks ago and am trying to get through this next month without spending any more money on this one that I'm trading in. Damn screws.
Used tires are cheap.
Stolen tires are cheaper.
DEUS AINT GOT THE JEUS.
I don't :(

I've tried to not comment about it here, but man, it is just weird.
I've seen all these comments before. They were all over image boards when Bailey got popular. There was a 25% offended rate. But you know, those guys were basement dwelling pussies that thought women and unicorns were the same thing. Who cared what they thought?
But here I am, 5 years or more later, seeing real life people say this crap. Real people, saying stupid uniformed things and making really horrible in consistent arguments. One minute they're supporting their argument with feminism, the very next paragraph says they don't agree with feminism. One paragraph says they aren't going to be critical, whole rest of the article is them being critical.
But that isn't the weirdest part. The weirdest part is I feel like I've traveled back to the past. I'm seeing bold and up front bigotry. When have you last seen in your face bigotry? Who does that anymore? Who goes in public now, and says "who you are as a being, disgust me. I do not acknowledge your existence. You inspire nothing bug anger and disgust"
I feel like I'm reading 1950's articles about how disgusting inter racial marriage is. Sure, there are poor attempts at an argument there. But fundamentally, it is the disgust. The incoherent rage comes from the disgust. The disgust did not come from a logical well thought out evening of research and pondering.
Why do people care? Why do we keep doing this? Why is there always a sizable number of people that try to fight change? Why do they need other people to live in a way they like? Why is it always "this upsets me" and "I'm accustomed to things"
I will never be happy with politics, there is always someone trying to change or control someone else's life because ideas bother them. Always someone wanting to take this away or make someone act this way.
We've seen a lot of bigotry in the past few months. Ferguson, Baltimore, Eric Garner. The shit people were saying about Garner was heinous. I don't think this stuff is ever going to go away, it's just engrained into people, passed down through the generations. Look at the middle east, how long has that hatred gone on? My group is better than your, you are on our land, gtfo. I bet most people don't even know why the fighting started so many hundreds of years ago, they're just told fuck those people.
I find it crazy how successful ISIS is on recruiting young people through the internet. Then they get there and they're like, oh shit, this isn't cool.
That's really strange - I've seen a lot more bigotry in person about Ferguson and the like than Jenner.
I can usually take the anti-trans stupidity, but it's worn on me a bit lately due to how much more of it there's been because of Jenner being in the news. My Facebook feed is typically devoid of outright bigotry, but even it has had a few not so fun posts.
Call them the fuck out on it. Stick it up their ass.
says the guy not on social media
I don't need to be on social media to know you need to confront people that are acting the fool.
You don't need to be on social media to know how to do something on social media?Quote:
