Re: GameStop Is Temporarily Closing All Of Its Storefronts

@GameOtaku You just don't get it, do you? The level of selfishness and shortsightedness on display here is astounding. Look past your own navel.

Viruses don't care. They spread. They multiply. They devour their hosts. You can be a carrier and unknowingly infect dozens of people before you show a symptom. And those people will spread it to dozens more before they show a symptom. See how this works?

Who decides who is at high risk and never gets to leave their home, just so you can go to your neighborhood GameStop and buy another used RPG? You?

"...like being vaccinated and increasing their immune system..."
How, exactly?

You know what, never mind. You seem to know better than the CDC and WHO, so I guess we should all cater to your little desires and conveniences.

@GameOtaku Your attitude is childish, selfish, and based in ignorance. I assume you are a young, healthy person, as are most who say this is overblown, and feel the risk to you personally is low, even if you get sick. You can carry the virus for two weeks before you show symptoms. And it can be communicated to more vulnerable people, people who are more likely to die, before you know you have it.

The number of confirmed cases in New York City has grown by over 50% in a couple days. I use the word "confirmed" intentionally. The expectation by all epidemiologists is that the true number of infected across the planet is much higher than is able to be reported, as the medical community (in America, at least) doesn't have the resources to do their jobs. And they are at the gravest risk overall, being constantly exposed and not having basic equipment to protect themselves.

You need to learn the facts before you espouse and act on life threatening opinions and play it loose with others' health. But no, you want to be able to go to the mall and buy a d*mn video game.

Life has changed, and if you don't see it now, you will in a very short time.

With the two main characters acting toward the outside of the frame, the European cover provides a matte to contain the action and not let it visually run out of the center. And the darker colors hold the image together better, making it appear more cohesive. U.S. is close, though.

Kingdom Hearts III
A Hat in Time
Resogun
Twisted Metal Black
Backup Dualshock 4 controller

And since I didn't see any compelling Switch sales, I of course am waiting until today to finally break down and buy one. My wife nudged me along. In preparation, we bought Mario Odyssey, Luigi's Mansion 3, and the Link's Awakening remake.
