run on sentience posted:For the longest time I thought you all were just joking that bbby was bed bath and beyond. I can vaguely understand why they'd take interest in something tech-adjacent like Gamestop, but a failing chain of towel stores that they have almost certainly never set foot in? My understanding is basically they just sorted a spreadsheet by how much people were shorting different stocks and went with the highest one.

Same as gamestop really, for anyone HODLing after the initial short squeeze. I used to hang out and browse gamestop as a kid, but how many of them do you think are still doing it as adults versus buying games on steam and occasionally having fond memories of checking out Xbox games at the mall

Gamestop's entire actual business model is to be a WASP-friendly pawn shop, any other option is a dead end

Googled "Gadget Hackwrench" because I was about 80% sure it was Inspector Gadget's full name. Now I'm upset.

I remember when Gamestop bought out Electronics Boutique, thus resulting in them having two stores in my town right next to each other, one in the mall and one in a strip mall immediately across the street. They kept them both open like that for at least a year or two, and I remember hearing that it was far from the only place where that happened. I wonder if they were just trying to clear out pre-orders in the mall EB before they shuttered it.

I like how coinzer think juggling multi different (volatile ) things is good for a economy and using for every day transactions. oh and never mind the lag of the system.

Gamestop survives as the go to spot to turn cash into V-Bucks, another great digital currency.

I can't wait for the future of buying things where I have to check 100 different coins to figure out which one will give me the best purchasing power as they wildly fluctuate in value.

We had Software Etc. and Babbage's at our local mall, both of which were eventually converted into GameStops. At least they were on different floors.
