Falcon, you don't seem to grasp the entirety of the story about the thief selling her boyfriend's collectible figure. In the first place the word and how it is used doesn't mean groceries or rent but a lifestyle choice such as an outfit or a game for herself. Think Fripperies. Second, why would you be suggesting that people put up with a partner who would steal from them and disregard their feelings and belongings? Do you value yourself so little, or just find it that hard to land a partner? We are talking about a significantly older woman who simply felt what she was interested in was more important than what her younger boyfriend was interested in, and I feel like she got the appropriate punishment. For the police to only figure out what had happened once there means she initially lied about the theft as well. Good on the guy for not rolling over and being a door mat, I should not imagine it would be very hard to find someone better.

As a musician, marking up the price, to create the semblance of a sale, is pretty much mandatory. Everyone knows the 'real' price, and no one even looks at the MSRP, because it's never either relevant or accurate. Very strange to see them get fined, because MSRP for Dell, would be their suggested price. I don't like that sellers do it, but I find it really weird that they'd get penalized for it.
Imagine creating something, like a painting, then putting it on Craigslist and saying My initial price was going to be 500, but I'll sell it for 250. Like, yeah, you could have a suggested price of whatever you want, it only matters what you're selling it for. Is it deceptive? Yeah. to the point of illegality? Ok?
What'd be hilarious is if they forced sellers to stop doing that, because then everyone would still be like well, you say 200, but how much can I REALLY get it for?

For number 4, that situation is basically like your girlfriend taking all your games and selling them so you can afford food or to pay rent. Sure, living is more important than entertainment but you paid money for all that stuff and it is your hobby, it could be one of the things that keeps you happy in your darkest hours, taking that away from someone is cruel and a figure in this situation is no different. It brought him joy having it so taking it away would obviously cause him to feel the way he did. Now, calling the police on your SO over a figure is definitely crossing the line in my opinion but I wouldn't put it against someone for doing it since it is their property and they are in the legal right to do so (in the US anyways. I feel like it should have been settled in private between the two of them.

Mr.
The fact that activiosn is just now shiwing us when they kick a cheater. Is iinda bad on them. Think about it. Its been more thenn3 games they have had issues with cheating (console and pc) and now they do this? Yea no they had 3 years and 3009 devs for this and the 3 years where uninterrupted they work3d from hime when needed so this piss poor excuse for an anticheat grosses me out. I think they should have gone with something like punk buster and instqlled it server side that would have at least made it so they couldnt playbwith us legit players. Just goingnto say this now.

5: 24 - No surprise. I've been railing against the game since I synched it and discovered that none of my accumulated in-game credits came with me. That earned it my instant disdain. Then I heard its nickname, Overwatch Too, which kind of fit, since they really didn't need to make an entirely new game. It was an elaborate update that added next to no benefits to gameplay. We had a hard enough time balancing a 6-person team. Now it was 5 people. Nope. I was done. I deleted it from my PS5 and never downloaded it again.

I get that the guy at number 4 took his resolution to the extreme but one would think that Falcon being a gamer himself would understand the devastation a move like that from a loved one would cause. Yeah putting her in jail was going crazy far but considering how we ourselves would feel over a situation like this is it really that hard to understand his anger and sympathize over his loss( yes, that is a painful loss! . I know it may only have cost between 50 - 100 dollars but damn that betrayal runs deep.

10: 38, well tbf it isn't an Action figure, its probably a display figure that cost over several hundred if not 1000 dollars, and his gf stealing it to sell it in the first place is a bigger red flag than calling the police on her, and if she wanted money for groceries, she could go get a partime job at a convenience store, or family diner instead of being a live in dead beat stealing her mans things

some people may not agree with me but I kinda agree with the kingdom hearts guy, its not about the plastic figure, its the principal behind it, if we took that story and changed it into a woman gets her boyfriend arrested for selling her diamond ring for living expenses, most people would crucify him for it, its not about the item itself, she just didn't have the right to do that.

Falcon making all those Italian stereotypes in Mario's voice is hilarious because it is waaaay worse than anything Mario has ever said. It's almost as if the point of replacing Charles Martinet is to allow the character to still have a living voice actor instead of reusing old recordings or, even worse, replacing him with AI. Weird take dude.

Is it possible, tad you make video series about forgotten games, that you should play? Maybe 10/20 games from every year. Because good games like Kingpin, Project IGI 2: covert strike, Gothic and others are getting forgotten.
Been following u guys a long time, and before you buy is first place where I go for opinion!

Those kind of figures can cost a LOT of money.
If my partner STOLE from me, of course I d be calling the police. Theft aside, it s super disrespectful, and a huge red flag. If they don t respect those boundaries, what other lines would they cross?
Falcon, my bird, you ve taken a very controversial stance here.

The boy report the figure stolen. And they caught the girlfriend trying to sale it. Because she thought it was a collectors item worth thousands of bucks. And she sold it for lifestyle reason, because she thought the money would give her a better lifestyle. Try reading stories before you report on them.

Im still happy w the GTA Difinitive trilogy. Its by far the best way to play them on console. No more ugly ass orange filter to give me headaches. The sky actually changes color now. I went back to SA bc 5 just fn sucks. Im not going to play the RDR port bc its the ps3 version. No 60 fps or clarity.

I'd rather keep Fynex rising as a god killer game, there's tons of mythological gods all over the world making it elden Ring type of game just kills it's uniqueness as a quirky RPG. I have Elden Ring I don't need another dark souls type clone we have tons of those

that might be the worst aussie accent attempt I've heard in a while. Regarding cheaters in WZ, problem is that the cheaters just create another account and keep going. Many modders have multiple accounts they cycle through daily. Cheating has gotten so bad in WZ

Dell and HP computers are overpriced just for their names. HP monitors don't even have sound pass thru. And for their laptops, they use Intel integrated gpu. For the same price, you can get laptop with ACTUAL graphics card if you go for MSI laptops.

In the US, a retailer has to be able to prove that an item with a discounted price is sold at the retail or undiscounted price for some amount of time -- like 30 days out of every 90 or something like that -- or they can be fined pretty severely.

The way the article you showed for number 4 is written, it seems it was more likely that she sold his figurine for lifestyle upkeep not living expenses. As in she wanted spending cash, she wasnt trying to buy food or pay rent.

Making it illegal to cheat in games.
Yes please, call of duty black ops 3. It was sooo fun but was completely ruined.
The anxiety levels just sky rocket worrying about wanting to play but not wanting to deal with the cheaters.
