@Jim Beethoven was deaf.

@coolboymew I was never a mod. I honestly don't care either way.

@coolboymew I forgot all about it.

Yeah, I know that not that many people use MP3 players anymore and that a player that only plays audio doesn't need to be that big, but why does every modern, basic MP3 player have to be ridiculously small?

I just want something to play music, podcasts, and audiobooks in my car that isn't a fucking smartphone. I should be able to hold it comfortably, like a remote and not holding it with three fingers while being extra careful not trying to press the wrong button. Come on, Apple isn't making iPod Shuffles (or iPods in general) anymore. You no longer need to copy their ridiculous design practices.

And if you are going to make a player the size and shape of a flash drive, it should BE a flash drive. The GPX Player I have still requires a cable despite being in a flash drive shape.

@icedquinn I think the only true options are a communist dictatorship or a neocon, capitalist, republic. But it seems like these government simulators are pretty biased. I've noticed that SimCity is pretty biases towards social democracy (having a successful city requiring you to provide as many social programs as possible).

@icedquinn Just play Tropico and side with the commies.

@Indigo The game in question is just one of those shovelware games you find in cereal boxes back in the early 2000s anyway. You could probably find the ISO on archive.org or something.

This was actually the only PC game that didn't have the CD in it, but being old PC games, it's a gamble to getting them running on your computer, either due to compatibility or DRM. It seems like Goodwill knows this, which is why you can't get refunds if the games don't work.

There were a few things that I could've bought, but I simply don't have the space right now. There was some portable electronic device that seemed to be from Japan. It turned out to be an electronic Japanese to English dictionary, but I passed on it. There was also a Brother printer which is WAY more reliable than any modern HP or Kodiak printer, but my family doesn't need a replacement right now.

Anyway, with the recent inflation and economic crisis, I bet people would rather sell their old stuff than give it away, which is probably why I saw a lot more yard sales than usual during the summer. Even my parents considered having one, and they are the types who think that making money outside of your day job is greedy and immoral.

@GD5426 I've checked some other PC games and they still have the CDs in them. I think I remember my mom giving away the empty jewel case for our copy of Rollercoaster Tycoon years ago.

The Goodwill shopping experience!
