I wasn't able to watch it today, but Sony had a live event where they unveiled the PS5 console. I don't really have an opinion on the appearance yet, but it can be vertical or horizontal.

Uh it's way more about adults wanting them than for their kids. [Reply]

My daughter can play my switch or her PS4 Pro she has, she doesn't need to play the PS5. If she wants to it's downstairs and she can fire it up, but since none of her friends are talking about it, she's not interested in it. She just plays Pokemon, Among Us on her iPad, or now she's getting into Genchin Impact because her and her friends have this weird obsession with Japanese culture at this point, with BTS and everything being so predominant in culture right now.

The Japanese culture thing goes way over my head, like I don't get why anime took off so big. [Reply]

Why pay double or triple the retail price? For what? Just to play Demon's Souls or Miles Morales right now instead of a bit later?
And I'm a Funko collector, so I've been dealing with bots and scalpers for the past decade.
Yep. I'm on a ton of Apple forums and everybody bitches about iPhone and iPad prices and then 2 days later shows pictures of their brand new iPhone or iPad. [Reply]

Same deal with shoe collectors, toy collectors and sports cards/memorabilia collectors. Crazy world with crazy people in it. [Reply]

The Dark Knight pops were what got me into collecting them. Even back in 2014, Bane was "vaulted" and pretty expensive. I'm actually surprised they haven't remade those Dark Knight Pops and expanded on it.

Yeah I bet they remake Red Skull. Or at least a different version of Red Skull. I've wanted a lot of the older DC characters like the original Green Arrow, Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, Two-Face, Riddler, Penguin, but those are all way too much. [Reply]
