i dunno, i usually don’t mesh with mobas at all but i played the shit out of smite. that was years ago so egg on my face if they’ve made it terrible since, but i remember it being real fun.

i think you misremembered, but i’ve only seen the ova

i forgot those later filmpacks had batteries, golly what a boondoggle! at least polaroid is making em first party again, maybe someday it’ll be an affordable medium lmao

lmao we’ve had opposite experiences! i bought 2 old-ass polaroid land cameras that were perfectly functional, and took probably 50 pictures on each of em before the prices on fp-100c film started creeping above $1 per shot.

the impossible project continues to make type 100 film, but they currently charge ~$50 for THREE shots. for context the discontinued fp-100c filmpacks come in 10 packs and would run you ~$100 today. upsettingly high, but STILL CHEAPER than the modern replacement :c

because she’s a teacher she probably pays out of pocket for school/project supplies. i’ve known a good few teachers, and refereeing to students as sort-of surrogate children is very common. i’d put my money on the mom hassling the daughter about not yet having kids, and the daughter saying something like “i already have kids!” and this idiot is still bitter about it because she feels she is OWED grandchildren.

i’m making a LOT of assumptions here, but like i said i WOULD put money on it. you hear enough firsthand stories and you start making these sort of assumptions.

i’ve happened into SO MUCH vintage audio gear this exact way hahahah

doorbell cam is just about the only thing i can think of

if you can’t keep your entire music collection in the player, what’s the point?

you can occasionally find these at goodwills or on ebay for like $70, 90% of the time they just need new belts for the carousel. they even have a special port on the back that lets you daisychain two of em together and share outputs, AND they read home-burned cd-text. it’s a physical media pirate’s dream machine lol

is that this guy?

jesus christ i thought this was real until i noticed fucking louisiana is completely unaffected lmao

thank you for making your art

yeah, reckon we’ve both been getting a bit semantic lol

i can’t speak for the original person, but my whole thing is regardless of consumer practices, manufacturerers are gonna keep making more and more phones every year, and they’re already making too many. those NIB phones on ebay were purchased, but not to be used. until they get sold, they’re just closer and closer to trash every day.

trade ins and buying/selling used DOES make a difference, it’s just hard not to think it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the massive amounts of electronics that end up getting discontinued, discounted, and sold to resellers hahaha
