Bitter sweet because I'm pretty sure this means we lost real one. RIP

It's church thrift store run by elderly people and they get overwhelmed and will just toss anything on a whim. They practically give away the stuff they do sell.

The others that were piled up in the bottom of the box. Some of the discs had fallen out of the cases and sleeves but they all seemed fine except for one: Half-Life GOTY disc got a few tiny fatal cracks. A lot of software and bargain bin games have been excluded.

There were two discs that go with two joysticks I have. I have a sidewinder somewhere but couldn't bother looking for it for the pic. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/1860493f-80f8-44e0-9a02-bf763c6224c1.jpeg

It's a church thrift store, so your first sentence is like you're telling on the staff to the boss.

Took me a second reading to understand your tone. For a second I thought you were just being an asshole. Then I read it again, and went OOOOOOHHHHH.

So for anyone who just skims things, Tikiporch isn't being an asshole. They actually made a funny joke. Like Splinter did in the first TMNT movie. Except TikiPorch forgot to end with "HA HA HA!!! I MADE A FUNNY!!!!"

Also, I want pizza now. No reason.

I'm pretty sure pizza doesn't need this subliminal advertising, it's amazing.

You've probably actually got the causality backwards: pizza ends up in art because it's amazing.

Shaggy's straight from the freezer slice has nothing to do with it, I assure you

My beta deck MTG cards went to a thrift sale.

No idea where they went after.

No I’m not salty.

When I find my 500 bitcoin thumb drive in the landfill I’ll just buy them back…

Hopefully you'll find my thumb drive with 5 bitcoin on it while you're at it...
