Seriously, it’s loser behavior.

    Wait I thought the Steam Frame is sold to random people who registered for the purchase? And only one per person? So how do Scalpers purchase them in bulk?

    Pro tip: if youre buying from a physical store, you can just take shit from their cart. They dont own it yet

    Do not look at the tcg scene

    Riftbound t1 collectors set was set to drop for 350 usd, scalpers resold it for 6k

    Pokemon is the worst tcg, no one plays the card game, it’s literally cardboard collection simulator

    I recently got lucky and managed to pick up a Cafelat Robot (really hard to get manual espresso maker). It completely sold out in minutes. I paid $495 CAD. I then saw a local listing a few days later, someone was selling one BNIB for $950. It sold in a couple hours. I was so mad when I saw it sold.

    I somehow ended up on a Pokemon card collector Facebook group.

    Scalpers are losing thier mind because the drop rates of rare cards are higher in the new sets and they made ALOT of sets.

    So a lot of the scalpers are like “how could they do this to us! This is my livelihood “ and all the people who enjoy the game are like “well this is fucking amazing!”

    Report them all and give them fake offers for the lulz. Even better, when they actually ship, find the people selling them on Facebook and make them drive an hour away while you sit in your room laughing.

      Fun “I Have No Mouth…” story. Daughter wanted to see the Digital Circus movie in theaters, which would include us going with and taking her. So she wanted us to watch the series too, otherwise we’d be watching the movie without the context. And I agreed, ticket purchases and watching, contingent that she get the context that’s based on by reading Harlan Ellison first. Can’t say she enjoyed it as much as wacky lolsorandom show… but I tried.

    I wish eBay and other popular marketplaces would just enforce msrp or lower for certain categories new

    Given that Steam Frame is ARM64, and runs a rooted version of Linux, I wonder how long until a homebrew version crops up. I hope people are playing with this idea.

      Like you mean homebrew version as in hardware? that is already possible.

      There is nothing stopping anyone from making an OpenXR compatible headset that runs linux, the steam frame is one example of this but its not like the steam frame invented this, its just really hard.

    There are so many brilliant opportunities to direct your hate to, and you waste it on people who got more lucky than you in consumerism? Amateurs. *laughs an evil black metal laugh*
