gamestop is weird cause they'll give you like 4 dollars for something amazon only gives 1 for sometimes but much more often they give you like 17 for something amazon gives you 30

I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever traded anything to Amazon because everytime I check I feel like they want me to print out a shipping label. Lol at having a printer in 2017. Also don't they want you to go through UPS? UPS is like 3x father away from me than my local Gamestop or USPS. I could obviously be talking out my rear end since as I mentioned I rarely use it.

The one thing about Gamestop though is a lot of the time their own employees aren't aware of their own deals. Like I just recently bought Ever Oasis there and traded in 3 games and the cashier was trying to apply it to Ever Oasis, but I got a 40% bonus trading in towards Destiny 2. So I had to say it like 3 times to apply it towards Destiny 2 before they did it right.

amazon gives game credit, the prime discount, and lets you use credit card reward points. I just got splatoon 2 5 mins ago for $0 trading in re7 and ffxv

Your character in Cave Story changes appearance depending on what difficulty is set. Sounds like you set it to hard.

Thanks for that. I did a little reading and it seems all Hard Mode does is change the character sprite (for the worse), remove health upgrades, and remove the missile launcher.

That sounds like a Less Fun Playing Experience, so I'm gonna start over on Normal.

We'll see if I can convince myself to put the sound settings on anything other than Original.

I thought I could put down Isaac for some Cave Story but nope! Turns out I haven't even unlocked the actual final boss.

The amount of content in that game is mind-blowing. I'm aware that it's been updated a lot over the years, but I really feel like they haven't cut corners, either: I just wiki-looked at all the sprites created just for that fight. Lazier games would've palette-swapped.

Though I will say that portable Cave Story with buttons has been nice so far. Though I don't know why the protagonist now looks like a beach bum.

My main problem with Issac so far is now that I have like dozens+ unlocks it feels like I have diluted the item pool, most of the unlocks feel like weird gimmicks and when you get 6-7 of those and end up with 10 tear/3.5 damage fighting mom its kind of a pain in the rear end.

Yup and the expansion content makes it harder to do some achievements because it unlocks harder stuff as you get deeper into the game.

Japan was resistant to speed increases that American capcom thought were necessary to compete against hacked versions of the games in american arcades like rainbow edition. Those versions were unbalanced and glitching broken but people loved the speed and couldnt go back. Japanese dev had like a bible of equations and research on human reaction time and thought his game was perfect and a schism ensued.

Speaking of Amazon, their Warehouse Deals looks pretty good, but how often do bootleg carts end up in the mix? I know it was pretty bad in the GBA/DS heyday. I'd guess they haven't figured out how to make pirate Switch game carts yet, but they will soon enough.

I used to work at Gamestop and I was just as frustrated not knowing our deals as you are. There were always an assload to keep up with and they changed so frequently and I never got enough hours in a week for them to stay relevant shift to shift. I loving tried though. I'd scrutinize the drat circular and ask when I came in and poo poo. And we weren't allowed after a while to answer the phone with, "Thank you for calling Gamestop, where the more you trade the more you save, this is The Lobster speaking, how may I help you?" we had to personalize it with, "Where you can now preorder Destiny" or some poo poo like that so that did keep me up to date on what was going on by force of I would lose my job if I didn't. I swear to God I put everything into that lovely rear end job and all I got was a load of sexist bullshit forcing me out after my first manager (excuse me, Store Leader) got fired and was replaced by a dude. /rant

I was that neckbeard employee, obviously. We had several at my store. And then both my managers were the type to push poo poo on you. I once saw my first manager successfully push $700 worth of product on a mom who only came in to get a used Xbox One. If you ignore how lovely that was to the mom, it was actually kind of beautiful to watch.

No and no. Someone on Reddit bought the piss yellow ARMS Joy-cons that just came out, and they had the left Joy-con problem. It's quick and easy to get them repaired by Nintendo, you just have to pay for a small box and bubble wrap.
