This thread has gotten off the rails! Let get back to the normal.

 

WHY THE HECK ARE MY PACKAGES STUCK AWAITING PICKUP? G-D-SNOWFLAKES! 

This contextual pun actually deserves more credit and recognition than it has received.

Thank you to the handful of you who realized the Switch Lite could be traded in this past weekend for $175! I recently ordered the Mario Switch (let's face it, it's a Spidey Switch lol), so I didn't need the Lite anymore. I thought about keeping it as a backup, but that $175 makes for some decent store credit. 

 

And honestly, people oftentimes hating on Gamestop, but I just got $175 store credit for something they sell for $180. That's one of the best trade-to-resale values they've ever given (that I can think of.) So again, thanks to those of you who realized that $50 bump worked on the Lite! 

 

Godspeed my Coral Cutie (haha)

$72 for Pikmin 3 when they were selling it for $60.  Legends never die

Anyone experience USPS levels of delays with FedEx? My Animal Crossing Switch has been 'on the truck for delivery' since the 6th... it's signature required, but they haven't even attempted delivery yet - the delivery date just keeps bumping back a day every afternoon (sometimes it'll say 'delivery exception - no attempt made'). I wonder if asking to have it delivered to the local FedEx store will resolve this.

If you have the tracking, you should be able to contact FedEx by phone, and they can tell you whats going on? Or you can get a specific delivery option to a different address(work, home, friend, etc.), as there might be some issue in your specific area that's causing the lack of delivery.

The snow storm in my area delayed everything, not sure if your area has been impacted by snow recently. But that on top of covid has definitely delayed everybody in my area.

School isn't free doc. It's possible to work towards a better life and be unhappy at your current job at the same time. Congrats on all your perfect life choices though, I'm looking forward to your books and lecture circuit.

Of course it’s not free. Not yet anyway. 
 

Hell I graduated from med school a loooooooong ass time ago. And I’m still paying off my school loans which were over 200K. Those opportunities are available to everyone. Is it easier for some?  Absolutely. Some are smarter and don’t have to study as much. Some have medical or sociologic obstacles others don’t have to face. Easier for some simply because of nepotism. 
 

There is no possible way everyone will have the exact same path or ease of opportunity placed before them, but those opportunities ARE available to everyone. You may have to work two jobs while in school. Or take loans. Or spend 3 more hours a night studying. But they are there. You just have to have the willingness to get er done. 
 

Actually your book/lecture series is a pretty good idea.

Call them. There is no reason it should be on the truck for that long. Then again, FedEx is trash, so nothing surprises me anymore. Their screw-up netted me a free Xbox Series X.

Stfu.

I’m in my 40s. Worked hard for everything I have. And yet I still have enough empathy and understanding that not everyone who didn’t “make it” made poor life choices. Get off your fucking boomer high horse and simply stfu. Times are tougher and the road is steeper for a lot of “kids these days.”

[hooknsling]

Hope preorders show up for the Monster Hunter Console, Pro controller, and Skyward Sword Joy-Cons. 

[briandadude]

Hope my $10 Mario kart Wii games from ebay come in soon so I can get the preorder bonus credit for bravely default... that I’ll later switch to Mario golf 😎

I was going to tell him to STFU also and then I scrolled down and saw your post summing it up perfectly.

The fact that some of yall are in your 40s arguing on the internet is funny.

What exactly do you think changes when you get older, because I suspect I have some bad news for you...

I remember when the internet was just black space and creepy chat rooms at the turn of the century.

 

Yeah, like CAG doesn't remind us of that. But in a good way, lol. 

 

The fact that we're getting game deals and information is just a bonus lol.

Can confirm there are more heating pads

Bro. I’m sorry. That’s brutal. In your 40s and still living in your mom’s basement. My heart goes out to you.

All this because some dude can't say no thank you to an extended warranty.

I didn’t know there was an age limit to the internet. You sound like some old fart that still uses AOL.

I didn't say 40 years old on the internet.
I said 40 years old arguing on the internet.
And why would an old fart say something like that. I'm so confused.

Jesus Christ. Who gives a about people arguing on the internet and how old they are. The internet provides a platform for people of all ages to engage in discussions and debate. Why does this seem strange to you?
