Remember your first big experience with buyer’s remorse? I remember mine. I had a bunch of old Sega games I had saved up for over time and bought with my own money. I enjoyed them, but I heard about this new concept where stores would buy your old games for store credit. I figured the games I had were still in good condition, so they must be worth close to their original value. The allure of getting a whole new stack of unplayed games was too much to pass up, so I carefully boxed them all up, went down to the store, and dropped them on the counter. A few moments later, the checker was rifling through my stack of game, checking them each against a laminated book of prices, and when he was done, he printed off a coupon and handed it to me. It was a coupon worth $7 in store credit. I was shocked, but my stubbornness wouldn’t let me go home with that same old stack of games I walked in with, so I took the coupon, and with more money out of my own pocket I picked out a single game I knew nothing about in trade for my stack of games that I enjoyed playing with again and again. And of course, I got home and found out I got a shitty game that I didn’t like. I felt like the biggest fucking idiot on the planet.
Now I look back, and I realize it never really mattered much in the end. It was just some dumb videogames, and I learned a valuable lesson from it in the end. I mean, it could have been worse. Instead of videogames, it could have been my entire fucking life. And instead of getting a shitty game out of it, I could have thrown the entire first half of my life away for nothing and ended up with the entire second half of my life being miserable and alone.

This is a great analogy. People shouldn't take it as talking about games (which they have, already).

Thank you. I had no idea what the OP image was about. People need to stop posting shit images like this and start posting actual articles.

Stop even posting this shit, they love the attention, just ignore them and let them rot.
