I talked to someone working at a game store (gamemania in the Netherlands). The stores also buy and sell second hand games. I commented on the amount of fifa games on the shelves and they told me the storage in the back just has massive stacks of every fifa game of the last 10 years or so. Apparently they will literally buy every functioning game you want to sell them.

The chain is also close to bankruptcy, probably not related. But it's a shame because I really do like walking through them and looking through the games they have. They actually have xbox360, wii and ps3 games on shelves.

I'm guessing there was no FIFA 20 because of Covid?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Covid didnt shut down any of the big EA titles

Lmao

My friend and I were just talking about how you need to proceed with caution with guys who play only FIFA or NBA4K. We call them male "candy crush" games.

Edit: I'm loving the updates. Add Madden and NHL to the list!

My ex bought FIFA/NBA every year as it came out like clock work. Set the game to the easiest possible settings, but complained about rubber banding and reset the quarter when he lost.

The one time I got him to do laundry, he threw away half of our socks. He didn’t want to find pairs. My fancy dress socks, my novelty socks - all in the trash when I get home from work.

Liking certain video games isn’t itself a red flag, it’s that mindless, video games as avoidance/wish fulfillment that’s concerning.

The NHL games are like crack cocaine for Canadians.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Sorry, but the only sports games I play are racing games. So not all Canadians.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

Racing games is just hockey on a track following an imaginary pack on a track.

Checkmate Sth Rogen.

Whereas, seeing Kick & Run == life-partner material.

Why is she removing pants in panel 2 that she isn't wearing in panel 1?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

This is like a Far Side comic in that I'm sure it's actually funny, but I have no idea why.

It's a Thai political reference. The guy in the middle picture is Suthep Thaugsuban, a Thai politician who lead anti-government protests and attempted to unseat their government in 2013. It's not in the linked article, but whistles were a major symbol of the protests.

I thought I saw "FIFA eleventeen" on one of the spines and felt proud I spotted an easter egg. Looked again,saw it was my poor vision. Damn.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I can't read the stuff anyways. The image is too deep fried

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

FIFA 19(second from top) was the one I thought was an extra. The deep frying was the reason I thought it was another joke tho.

People who buy a game console just to play nothing but the same sports titles year after year are the absolute worst. I'll never understand why they're like this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They have friends and enjoy playing this game with them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

But how can you play the same game over and over and not get bored?

Is firing up a single neuron really enough for them?

I also hate people who find thing they like to do and enjoy it year after year. Unbelievable.

Dude was missing FIFA 98 RTWC in his collection

[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 months ago

If he at least ALSO had some other, non-sports games, then she might have let it slide. But only FIFA is a definite red flag.
