Looks like OP has kids and he came through with the wild care package 🤷🏾♂️. Good shit on the GameStop flip, though.
I always find this type of comment to be a little unfortunate. The guy likes video games (and obviously likes to show off a little). There isn't anything wrong with that and I hope we can at some point get past the "get a life" comments (or those comments that carry the same sentiment).
Literally everyone shitting on the OP for having the gall to buy video games, the passive aggressive posts telling them to get help. That's all toxic shit, don't be coy.
As someone that's almost all digital and ended up returning all three of last year's BF physical copies I purchased, that receipt looks like a nightmare, though on the shelf it looks alright so at least you're organized with your collection.
If money were no object I'm not sure if I'd collect anything on a smaller scale maybe except for retro games (and the space to hold it all). The rest would probably go towards food and booze :P

These replies consider his original thread showing his "collection" and his request for help.
Reading this follow-up thread where he confirms he got hungry again sounds like someone who relapsed. And it appears he buys not to enjoy games, he buys for the rush of having new items and is empty again already when returning.
It's the impression I get and I' happy if I'm wrong, but just that you understand some of the replies. It's not envy, it scares some of us.
Those dang things are so fugly, I have seen Funko Pops of cute characters and they somehow screw those up as well. I'll never understand why they seem to be so popular.
Here you go. This is just from the first two pages.
It's one thing in the other referenced thread where OP was literally asking for help, but he's just sharing something he's excited about here.
From personal experience, the stuff you don't buy turn out to be $400 years later...
Why does he NEED to complete these games? Maybe he just likes dipping his toes into different kind of games for an hour or so to get his fill and move on. Or maybe he just wants to have a collection. This is an enthusiast forum and we're bound to have a few other collectors like him, too bad reactions like this thread will only serve to keep people from posting their collection.
If you make a thread about how much shit you bought, and your super long receipt, that's uhh...
Not exactly worthy of praise? What do you want the community to say? "Cool"? lol
Except I didn't tell him to get a life nor I'm judging him for loving video games. It was just my reaction to such a crazy list. OP has my total support and is free to do whatever he wants with his money and time.
I choose to read this as incisive commentary on the thread responses as opposed to a genuine response to the OP. And I enjoyed it, thanks
If spending his money on games makes the guy happy, let the guy be happy!
its the holiday season. they made someone's numbers for the day maybe. that is if they did a trade and a pre-order as well.
That's fucking hilarious. Reminds me of the old 4chan meme where a guy used Gamestop as a bank by pre-ordering games when he wanted to deposit money and then canceling the pre-order when he needed to make a withdrawal.
Did I say it needs to be worthy of praise? No. But this community should be better than this, it is toxic nonsense. I guess I shouldn't be surprised you would see that it's okay though, what with your whining and trolling every Destiny thread. You're part of the problem.
Totally speaking for myself here but as someone who has a spending addiction, especially with video games, it's a little troubling to see a single sale yield 70+ games - that's usually a sign of something worrying. Hell, if OP has the money (and the time) to justify all of this then more power to him - I'm jealous - but it's not really a "toxic" behavior to show concern for someone exhibiting behavior that I have had issues with in the past.
A lot of the replies in this thread are super cold hearted. I'm fairly certain I've seen the OP mention in the past that (not in that $55k topic) that they wish they could stop spending, and if that's the case, then a lot of the responses in this thread are cruel for making fun of someone with an actual problem.
Highly ironic you accuse others of toxicity, while bringing up irrelevant matters in threads that don't relate to them, and resorting to petty personal jabs.
Dope.Sorry all, I got tired last night since I didn't get home until so late.
Had already cleaned, peeled, and shelved everything last night, so took a bunch of stuff off the shelves so I can get a pic.
It was a combination of different games, as I spent the week going to every Gamestop in my area, and buying their stock from the store, then returning it to the closer store to me in preparation for the B2G1, which is why I ended up with so many. So no, there is no single magic Gamestop these games were from that had all the games with their cases even, but more of a compilation of stores over the span of a week. Majority of these were from the B2G1, but some were just because they were in-stock and cheap enough comparatively. Mostly Switch though, since it's my current focus, as PS4 was two months ago.
Anywho, here's the haul, spans across console, multiple gens.

Nah, not really. It's just to show that toxic people like you will never cease being toxic no matter what thread it is, or what subject it is.
If you really want a personal jab though, you've probably spent more money on Destiny and it's expansions than the OP did on this haul lol. And he doesn't moan and complain about those games like you do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
