  @_TheImpureKing_ I guess I am the problem. I bought a Ps5 pro preownes with controllers, disc drive and about 10 games mixed ps4 and 5. I already had a library of physical ps4 games. And I have bought a bunch of games on a local version of Ebay.

  If all you're showing are PS2 games because that's where the hard stop is, you've completely proven the industry's point. This is why I say a lot of you are very fake with this. Most of you were supporting digital in the last 15 to 20 years at a strong clip which is why we are where we are now. You SAID that you did but all your choices were the same top 20 retro titles that we've seen time and time again everyone has traded back and forth across eBay. Showing a bunch of PS2 games when most of you didn't support PS3, PS4, PS5, x360, Xbox One, or Xbox series at a serious pace--- is what counts. I said this time and time again and everybody keeps posting up PS2 images as if we didn't know this already. PS2/Dreamcast/Gamecube/Xbox OG aren't the problem. It's the last 20yrs, folks This is an empty flex. Show us How many games that you've purchased physically within the last 2 years that were current. The last 5 years current. How many were digital by comparison Yeah, exactly. That's what I thought. The sun will still come out tomorrow. You all will still download everything the same way you were yesterday. If you wanted to support physical gaming that seriously, you would have done it a long time ago this entire time.

  @cashvsthewrldd The problem is this: You buy a game physically and you don’t like it, you can sell it. You buy a game physically that your friend doesn’t have, you can take it to their house and put it in his console to play. You buy a game digitally you can’t do either of those. You can buy a 3 year old game on ebay or at GameStop for $20 or less, without a disc version this gives the digital storefront the opportunity to keep the price as high as they want it to be for as long as they want it to be because you literally have no choice but to buy it there. When a game inevitably gets delisted from digital storefronts and there’s no discs, how will that game ever be played again once the internet on your PS6 quits working in 20 years? (Example: If Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions never had a disc and only was digital and got delisted on PS3, how would anyone ever play it again?) NOT TO MENTION, the people that DO already have a bunch of PS4 and PS5 discs would have to completely re-purchase their entire library for those two consoles digitally if the PS6 ships without a disc drive.

  Wow is the @FirewallaLLC East Coast warehouse slow. It's been 1 week since I've ordered and I still don't have anything but a tracking number that says USPS doesn't have my package. I'm not expecting Amazon speeds but the 3PL they're using isn't it when I've bought things on eBay that have already arrived from farther away in the same time.

  This seems like another unnecessary tax on Europeans like IOSS which is constantly fumbled by exporters and then you have to pay for manual tax processing costs. Here is my personal example ordering an antique item on eBay. IOSS was issued, paid for and assigned. Dutch customs / @PostNL declared that it was transmitted incorrectly and made me pay €1.18 VAT again including €10 euro manual processing cost. I’ve checked my AliExpress account and most of my purchases were spare parts for my electronics. Now I’ll pay 3€ markup (+and arbitrary processing costs every time somebody ***** up) to be able to fix my things. So much for promoting repair and reuse..

  @DanFriedman81 You can just rip them and host them yourself, it's a bigger cost upfront but you actually own the media. Digital is not the problem, the problem is having to pay 5 subscriptions to watch an objectively worse version of the same movie you can buy for 5 bucks on ebay

  @SandyofCthulhu @Gingerblast I'm a new follower and my only disagreement on the piracy issue is stuff like semi-abandonware situations where a company owns the rights to an old game but has no current means of distribution, yet people want to play it without paying 300$ for an eBay copy.

  A group of students launched an AI firm from their dorm on a cluster of Mac minis and says it charges $240 a year for what an advisor charged $8,400 for. AND BEHIND THE WHOLE FIRM THERE IS NOT ONE ANALYST, JUST 7 BOXES. But the number is not even the interesting part. The broken part is HOW: they no longer need the advisor as a middleman. Claude reads a 10-K in seconds, builds a portfolio with no commission bias, runs tax optimization and projects retirement down to the dollar. What a live analyst takes a year to do the cluster does in minutes. That is it. While the industry takes a cut of your money just for holding it, they handed all the analysis to seven boxes on a shared desk. They automated not the advice but the advisor himself. How it actually works: 7 Mac minis off eBay for $1,600, wired over Ethernet into one cluster, one CLAUDE.md file on top with the firm's rules. Claude reads the reports and builds the models, the students just check and hand it to the client. First month 8 clients, second month 20 on word of mouth. And 92% of live advisors still lose to a simple index over 15 years: the expensive human does not win, he is just expensive. There is almost nothing to count here: the cluster cost $1,600 once, and it serves a client for $240 a year. An advisor on the same portfolio charges about $5,000 just for being there, and that gap goes to the client, not into a commission. But all these numbers are their projection not a proven track record: the video has 7 boxes, Ethernet and CLAUDE.md but not one yearly client result, no license, no statement. AI reads reports fast but real money answers to risk and regulation, not to how fast you read a 10-K. The real asset here is not the Mac minis but the fact that the client finally sees what he paid a live advisor for: presence, not results. Because the boxes themselves earn nothing. The money is where a whole industry takes a cut for a middleman job a machine does in seconds. Live advisors are expensive and mostly lose to the index, and almost nobody has thought to build their replacement out of used hardware and one file. The window is open for literally the next few months. Most people will say "money should be handled by a human" and close it. And the ones who build a cluster like this and pull clients away from overpaid advisors will take this wave while the industry sleeps. Would you hand your portfolio to a cluster for $240 a year or are you still paying an advisor $5,000 just for existing?

  @aiamblichus > although we've come quite a long way on ergonomics I go down this rabbit hole every six months, and last time I did you either had to know what (say) an inference server, loopback interface, quants, etc is, or you were stuck with clunky proprietary llama.cpp wrappers. even lmstudio didn't make search and code execution painless (maybe they do now). osaurus was a little better in this regard but ugly. llama.cpp with its web interface is just about the cleanest thing I've found but that still needs hacky bs like llamabarn or manual configuration to make it kinda-ergonomic and available when you want it. it still didn't have fast specdec or smart batching / caching that makes local inference less slow and painful. weak at the basics. if there's a way to get even inference, but especially search and code execution up and running simply enough my non-technical elderly parents could do it comfortably (like they can install Microsoft Word), I haven't found it. > The Chinese could flood the market with cheap RAM Can they? I'm far from expert but my understanding is that the crunch is real and global. > This is a real snd alarming possibility, but it's not yet inevitable. It's not hypothetical. Did you notice that Apple literally stopped selling their high ram Mac Studios? From 512GB in 2025 down to 96GB since March. Pre-owned models are going for 30K on eBay. Studios had up to 128GB in 2022, it's a five year performance regression. About the only remotely affordable option for near-frontier consumer inference, unobtainium.

  @SergiTuiter @MarioNawfal Here try learning instead of talking so much TLDR: China has begun selling Chinese Goods direct to American Consumers on Ecommerce platforms. This is an unprecedented mechanism for circumventing the US economy to extract wealth from the US consumer base and funnel it directly to China. The result is devastating to the US ecommerce industry; the broader US retail sector; to US manufacturing and the US businesses which support them. The “Made in China” issue has evolved into the “Sold By China” issue, an even greater threat to the US economy. Internet shopping has opened the doors for foreign companies, predominantly from China, to have unlimited direct access to the American retail consumer- circumventing US businesses, extracting massive wealth from the US economy, reducing US tax revenues and avoiding potential regulation. Here’s what’s happening: Market Displacement: Foreign sellers sell direct to American consumers through online platforms like Amazon, Tik-Tok Shop, Shein, Temu, and Aliexpress - circumventing US businesses which have historically provided these products to American consumers. This trend has increased exponentially over the past 5 years with today over 63% of all Amazon 3rd party sales being sold directly by Chinese companies on the platform (SOLD BY CHINA); and, with TEMU which features products exclusively Sold by China having risen to become the number 2 ecommerce retailer in the United States behind only Amazon. Foreign companies selling direct in Ecommerce take white collar jobs directly from Americans as high paying jobs in Marketing, Creative, Analysis, Finance, Accounting, Supply Chain, Forecasting, etc all get employed in the Foreign country for the Foreign company/brand/manufacturer. The foreign company manufactures the product, owns the brand, and then sells directly to the US consumer effectively pulling the entire vertical out of the US and placing it into China. With consideration to the rapid influx of Chinese sellers and products into the US retail sector by way of Chinese retailers; huge swaths of the US Market are being funneled to foreign businesses creating an existential threat to US Ecommerce, US Retail as a whole and the industries which support them . Too many large iconic US retailers like JCPenney and Bed Bath & Beyond; marketplaces like eBay and Etsy; and countless US small businesses are struggling and too many have already given up. We’re giving away the US consumer markets and all of the jobs which support them to China, and this trend is accelerating at an alarming rate. Ripple Effects: Where previously only manufacturing was displaced, the recent proliferation of ecommerce has now made it possible to cut American companies out of the US economy entirely. The economic disruption extends beyond the US companies competing directly with Chinese Sellers online, to traditional brick and mortar and the US retail sector as a whole, who see year over year losses of market share as more buyers purchase directly from China. The retail sector itself is the front line for a broad collective of service businesses which support them; and, the influx of Chinese sellers has ripple effects which impact US based service provides in marketing, advertising, buying, quality control, product sourcing, customer service, graphic design, photography, product development, shipping, logistics, warehousing, technology, Finance, Accounting, Data Analysis and of course U.S. manufacturing, supply and so much more. This cascading effect is ripping through various sectors of the economy, leading to job losses, reduced innovation, and slower US economic growth while China’s Ecommerce presence in the US is EXPLODING. This impact ultimately extends to local communities, affecting everything from tax revenues to real estate markets in areas where these retail businesses and their ecosystem partners are concentrated. Lost Tax Revenues and Regulatory Evasion: As broad portions of the US retail sector move to Chi..

  @SpawnPoiint Digital. I do not care for clutter & I do not care for eBay flippers or gamestop glorified rental programs. the used market cannibalizes sales. 15% of sales are physical, so since, at time of writing, 71% of your votes are physical enjoyers, that means most of them are buying used instead of buying the game. When it is possible, there is nothing wrong with it. Since it will no longer be possible, maybe price hikes will go away. Maybe you will not need plus just to play online. Maybe the price of plus will go down. You never know. Actually, you do, because investors will not accept something like that. But maybe the hikes will stop. Imagine if your numbers up there are accurate right now. That means that despite new games sales being only 15% of all sales, 71% of people prefer physical. That means the vast majority of physical players never buy from the source & are constantly re-buying the same discs at least 4 to 5 times over - and they wonder why gaming is getting so expensive per-game! Sony has announced that their platform will no longer have the income cannibalized by gamestop or eBay flippers. 1 key = 1 account. As God intended.

  Dodger Luffy 2026 Promo Thesis NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE, DYOR (TLDR AT END) Key points: This year vs last year main differences? Price Point Of Entry! Last year on day of, ticket prices hovered around $100-150, with the promo originally selling for around $300-$350 on eBay. This year? $300ish price range PER TICKET. 2-3x the original 2025 cost just for entry alone. This doesn’t mean the ticket price now isn’t worth it tho… The entry price will directly reflect on cost of aftermarket promo cards as their initial cost is based on ticket cost. Look at the museum promo that just released with a 60-70K quantity overseas and even that was seeing $900 sales… TODAY.. AND MUSUEM CLOSURES UPEON RELEASE… That was with NO UPFRONT COST. The Dodgers entry is $300!! So $300 to get a promo, with in my opinion, higher importance and relevancy overall… Think to yourself, why would this EVER go under that ticket cost alone for example. I’m even considering BUYING more ticket at the $250-300-350 range… What do I see happening price wise? There’s 52k & 40k promo number hovering around as far as what’s available for tomorrow rumor wise, I believe it’s 52k.. BOTH of these numbers are either 4-5x as many as were available at last year’s game, so does this mean it’s a bad promo? Hell no. With the last years promo hovering from $4-5000 now in a PSA 10.. although this is a don (essentially a One Piece version of a Pokemon energy card) it’s a Dodgers collab. It ain’t goin nowhere. People are chasing last years gains, paired with an insane demand on One Piece in general... I would suggest scooping this up within the first week or two of availability while SUPPLY PUBLICLY AVAILABLE (all scalpers are dumping) because once the initial supply dries up.. GGs. these are cards people buy and keep in collections forever. Even people who don’t collect One Piece, think baseball fans, Dodgers fans, Ohtani fans, Pokemon collectors, Japanese fans, are interested and curious about this card.. worldwide demand. The reason I believe they made so many of these vs last year as well is because this is a Don which you would technically use 10 in a deck to play the card game in. Expect to see some rich folk flex this in competitive play lol One last gem I’ll leave here as well is don’t overlook grading these. Yall seen me submit 37 dodger luffy leader promos and I got 34/37 PSA 10s. No gloves used. Hardly much overlooking of the promos. It’s worth it. Free value bump to your already cherished card/investment play. PSA is down at the moment unfortunately and that’s what I would personally recommend, but maybe it’s time to hunt for a Beckett Black Label as these promos I presume would grade well. TLDR: 2026 Dodgers Luffy promo has a much higher $300 ticket entry this year (2-3x last year’s $100-150), creating a stronger price floor for aftermarket cards. Even with 4-5x more supply (40k-52k available), it’s not a bad investment — last year’s version now hits $4k-$5k in PSA 10. Buy during the first 1-2 weeks while scalpers dump supply, then hold long-term as these become keeper collection pieces. Grading adds strong upside (34/37 PSA 10s recently on OG promo with minimal effort) — PSA recommended or consider Beckett Black Label. Overall bullish despite higher supply. GL regardless of what you do.
