Idk he made the best FPS game ever and made it open source

>can say you own the game, played the game, and keep it in sealed condition to sell later on for 5x what you paid
Is this gnosis?

I've never bought a sealed game unless it was factory sealed and brand new close to release.
I've never bought a game I didn't intend on playing.

>>11892573
that would be John Carmack

>>11892560 (OP)
But then how will you read the manual?

>>11892584
pdf or buy a used copy of the game and return it without the manual

>>11892560 (OP)
Never done this.

>buy sealed game
>case has a crack inside the seal or the disc is loose and theres no way to reseat it without opening it

>>11892874
That's when you message and the seller and say "Hey, the item is damaged, but I'm willing to keep it if you give me a partial refund... Otherwise, I have to return it, sorry". 50% of the time they'll give you a good chunk of change back because they'd lose more with the return shipping, packaging and so on than by just giving you a partial refund. Worst case they just have you send it back and you get a 100% refund. If you keep it and get a partial, and you don't want it, then you just sell it for more than you paid and make a profit.

Why does this video give off massive loser soiman vibes? He looks muscular and in shape

>interpreting a webm of a half naked guy jumping into a hyperborean warp portal while screaming and holding two battle axes literally
Autism, although I'm sure most skinnyfat soimales picture themselves doing something like this on a daily basis. Kind of like doing David Hayter impressions in the mirror and seeing how gravely they can make their voice, or having an Star Wars lightsaber battle against Darth Vadar when nobody is around.

There's nothing "scummy" about it. You want scummy? You could buy some $300 game and just say it never showed up, then sell it on an alternate account to avoid any fallout. That's scummy. If some guy sends me a game in "BRAND NEW - SEALED" condition and it shows up with cracks and a loose disc, you better fucking believe I'm going to haggle over it. Outright theft is one thing, but business is business. You will never have wealth if you don't understand the value of money and securing your assets.

>>11893957
because you're a loser that has trouble understanding something when it doesn't fit into a simple predefined stereotype

>>11892560 (OP)
i retroactively done this because I used to play on original hardware

>>11893963
Man this is some specific projection.

>>11893957
He has a basedbeard, and is bald as well

>>11894008
Yes, your opportunistic flowchart is scummy. Revealing just how shitty you have the capacity to be does not change that. I'm sure you've never spent a remotely similar degree of effort trying to prevent possible damage and headaches. No, instead you bank off the ignorance of Joe "Bubble Mailer" Schmo knowing that you can always haggle for 30% off with your negative feedback gun to his head. So unless you begin your virtuous negotiations by revealing your intention to profiteer off his misfortune, you might as well just start faking damage and lying altogether, you moral fence sitting faggot.

>>11892560 (OP)
What a cringe faggot. TikTok fags should be shoot in the head.

>>11893957
The game itself is cuck-coded.

>>11893957
It's the bald+beard combo that has been adapted by weak "men" in an attempt to project masculinity. A beard in itself isn't masculine, in fact it signals hormone sensitivity. But men doing masculine things in cold climate grew their beards for comfort, and their behavior was eventually associated with their rugged looks. That association has shifted, in a quite funny way. If this was something found in nature, it would be like if something that practiced mimicry (a harmless black and yellow fly) superseded the model (wasp).

>>11893957
Because he looks like someone who must be better men

>>11892560 (OP)
What’s wrong with that? As long as he doesn’t have funko pop on the shelf I don’t see the problem

>>11895437
I have never used tiktok, I have no social media, and I use a Sonim XP5800 for a phone. You will never be as based as me. You're on diaper baby life.

Honestly eBay is usually just fine IME if you make sure to message them to use a bubble mailer. Sometimes they don’t respond so I know not to buy from them. The real problem is Amazon, they ship in thin ass paper bag envelopes and about half the times they show up with imperfections. You want scummy? Bitch about your damage game to Amazon customer service chat agent. They want this to go to this location and return it? Say no, why should you spend time and money to get your refund? Amazon will refund your money and let you keep the game. You don’t have to provide proof. It’s gaming the system but they need to fucking learn, ship my fucking game in a box and pay your delivery drivers a good wage so they don’t toss my shit around. You can try to make the items as a gift and sometimes they will ship in a box that way but not always

>>11893957
Election tourists couldn't grow beards so they associated them with liberals.

>>11892560 (OP)
I have some expensive ass sealed games, but I bought them a decade ago. Did I open them? Fuck no. I'm not retarded. If you have a sealed game. Buy a loose cart or disc to play.

>>11895858
Why buy them if you're not going to use them?

>>11895858
>I'm not retarded
0 self awareness

>>11896058
I can't speak for anybody else but I do it just to have swathes of expensive things to enjoy for fleeting moments, then I occasionally bait poorfags on /vr/ with pro-emulation threads where they inevitably call me the poor one before uploading timestamped photos of my shit to BTFO them, then sit on on the stuff for 5 years before flipping it for a profit, then buy more and repeat the cycle.

>>11896113
yeah. I tend to pull out one console and one handled for a month or so and rotate accordingly. keeps things fresh and if im not in the mood i emulate. i emulate a lot lately, its just so fucking easy and my time is always being taken up by bullshit, like for instance, for no reason whatsoever I decided to get on /vr/ and reply to this fucking faggot for no other reason then to waste my fucking life. you see this.... you see this shit. why?

>>11896145
t. salty poorfag that I BTFO'd with a picture of my Neo Geo collection once

>>11896158
NTA but I think I saw your Neo Geo collection once. It’s absolutely hilarious how batshit boomers get for Neo Geo. They think having a Neo Geo collection is some kind of win, to finish their grown up vengeance tale of being a poorfag child. Honestly all of that stuff can be emulated on a junkyard laptop and better yet if you like original hardware just buy the ASP and call it a day

>>11896158
No, I don't really care about neo Geo. I got a gp32, tapwave zodiac, gizmondo and n-gage collections. You're neo Geo doesn't impress me.
