    This is a local seller in my state. Package only had to go like 150km max but he never added tracking info which is why I sent a message.
    I'll check the INR again on Thursday and go push ebay into it if I need to.

    This has happened to me before over the years. A few times it's people just using their fucking phone on ebay and message notifications are broken for them for whatever reason, so they have no idea buyers are sending messages... in those few cases the sellers have sorted the shit out by contacting auspost and then the package turns up like 3 days later. I think maybe one instance the seller just forgot to send the package but marked it as sent Then actually sent it priority which I didn't have to pay for

    But yeah, at this point just playing the waiting game

    I'm sick of people using their phones. On ebay it's sellers not seeing messages and also bidders doing that fucking $1 multiple bids shit. Like you see 50+ bids and most is just one person creeping up to get past a winning bid

    irl like in public, at work or whatever I'm just sick to death of people on their phones and being fucking oblivious to shit going on around them. Sometimes I seriously feel like punching people... I don't but it's a pretty strong urge

    Some people receive text messages so often that they get buried. Having friends is only good in a small circle of quality people and it's much easier to manage. There should be smartphone OS app that uses AI to automatically respond to people giving them an option to be forwarded to you directly.

    I'm totally with you on that. I'd also like to add leave your fucking screaming kids at home. I fucking hate having to deal with that shit when I go to the store I just want to smack the disobedient little bastards or strangle them.

    I added SNES9X to Steam last year, as well DPSBox with a fromtemd. Emulators are legal and ROMs/ISOs are not hosted pm Steam, what a dick move by Steam and mot just Nintendo.You never know what Nintendo will litigate next but whatever it is if you put it past them to do so prepare to be amazed.

    I've been following this story today. the latest info was that it was actually steam at fault here because they asked nintendo if it was alright to have dolphin on steam and nintendo flatly said no.
    the thread I've been watching has been entertaining. there's a lot more people getting fed up with nintendos shit and rightly so.

    I have to admit I didn't know much about capone so that's pretty interesting.

    I guess Nintendo does have some weight here. I guess there is some stuff in the code that is decrypting keys, which is actually Nintendo's stuff. For the wii games. The emulator itself is legal. Although with Nintendo going APE over Emulation/Roms in general, I can see why people are tired of their shit.

    I used to be a big nintendo fan up to GC but then my interest in their consoles fell off they became way too gimmmicky for my liking(I do own a new 3ds xl I use it mostly for emulation). their business decisions for the last few years have been irking me but the last 2-3 months now they have become the worst. I do believe it's NOA that are being the major dicks here not NOJ or NOE.

    I read a lot and after I knew enough about Al Capone came to realize I would have done the same in his shoes. I would not only refuse to harm innocents even after turning to a life of crime, I would eliminate rivals from opposing gangs if they are harming innocents wholesale to spare lives that would have otherwise be lost without extrajudicial intervention. My associates would be under my protection and any plots to kill them means a swift eradication of the plotters. I'd have selfish reasons to do things if I was a mobster but a code of conduct keeping me out of prison separating me from the common people who are not criminal masterminds.

    Indeed. I filter down to US or NA to avoid most of them. For cheap junk (under $5) I don't worry too much if it's a "US" (Chinese) seller. With more expensive stuff I try and avoid them.

    Nothing stopping NOJ from telling NOA to stop being how they are but that has yet to happen .
