Here I go, and I need you to help me stick to it. 

I'm not going to buy any more games until this fall.  There's no need to.  I'm going to play what I have, and be happy.   

How long do you think this will last?  Any bets?

*Edit:  I reserve the right to buy humble bundles and cheap 2D platformers.

Until the weekend, which is here.

I'm trying the same thing sort-of. Went to go buy some games today, got there and talked myself out of even going in. No particular games in mind, I was just looking to waste money. Gotta stop that.

If you want to waste money, I'll sell you 20 ps2 games for $95 shipped.  ;)

I just got a Nexus 5X this week, and as much as I thought that digital print unlock was a gimmick, I have to admit that I'm totally loving it now that I actually have it. So much faster than connecting the dots thing  ::) One of those little things that I could totally live without, but enjoy having as a bonus.

Anyone want to buy a mint, CIB copy of Class of Heroes 2G?

I put in an offer for that car I was talking about. Was told I'd need to wait until Monday ...and well, it's Monday, no call yet. Not going to lie, I'll be annoyed if they don't at least call me and let me know something, even if the answer is no. Don't leave me hanging like that! I just made a very large cash offer.

The difference is whether I am going to be forced to take an indefinite break from my game collecting habits, or not. The least they could do is get back to me.

I love the thumbprint unlock on my Galaxy S6!  I also use it to pay with Samsung Pay at the store.  It's like double-encryption.

I could start an entire new thread on this topic:  Assholes.  Nobody seems to give a crap anymore about meeting their obligations.  They won't even give you a lousy phone call to tell you one way or the other.

I honestly don't know what has happened to the world.  Everywhere I go, there seems to be more & more self-absorbed a-holes who have no manners, courtesy or inkling of what it means to be a good person.  They cut you off on the road.  They spend every waking moment with their heads buried in their stupid ass cellphone, acting like their little world is the most important thing and everyone else can kiss their ass.  For example, standing in line and yacking on the phone instead of ordering their friggin' food.  What is so important that you can't shut your yap for five seconds to order your #4 combo?  Are you a heart surgeon?  A rocket scientist?  The President?  No...you are some lame-ass who thinks your shit doesn't stink and you have zero concept of how to be a decent human being to another person.

Then you see the stories about people driving into the ocean because their GPS said to, or getting lost out in the desert and their corpses being found weeks later after a big manhunt because they are so inept, they can't say to themselves "Well, the GPS says turn here, but there is no road and that water looks kinda deep and goes on for a long, long way." 

I guess I'm just from a different era when nobody had a phone stuck to their hand.  When your plate of food wasn't "newsworthy" that instead of friggin' eating it, you have to post a picture of it first along with some hashtag BS and with different filters to make sure you have the lighting right.  And what the hell is a hashtag anyway???  We always called it a "number sign" or "pound sign."

When I see people in a restaurant talking on their phones instead of paying attention to the people around them, I have to really fight the urge to take the phone from their hand and manual insert it into their rectums.

Agreed.

I'm not at all into ANY kind of social media nor do I understand the compulsion that so very, very many members of modern society have to list and post the most trivial of things.

I dunno...maybe their just trying to self-validate themselves?

Maybe they all just have too much fucking time on their hands?

Then again, I suppose that they're the people who would never have any chance to find an audience irl for this trivial drivel - so, they try to take 'hostages' of the unlimited amount of anonymous online folks who will ...Again, in some way, give them that validation that they're so desperately and pathetically searching for.

Fuck if I know ::)

Your idea seems as valid as any I've heard.  It goes back to the movie "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" where Ben Affleck is explaining the internet to the duo and he says (something like) "The internet has given everyone a voice and they use that voice to bitch about movies."  Meaning, people seem to think that whatever they are doing, eating, planning, thinking, dreaming or whatever is a life-altering moment that must be shared with everyone possible, regardless if they like it or not.  These people all seem to think they are a movie star. 

I'll tell you honestly.  I use social media to keep up with my closest friends (messaging) and seeing pictures or links to videos I may enjoy.  Again, just from my closest friends and family.  The only other people I "follow" are when ladies post pictures of their lady parts.  That is important stuff right there.
