This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I find that green-text hard go believe. But let me go straight with this one - If I worked my ass to buy not only one PS5 but 2 and they got stolen or some other shit I'd probably never touch video games again and find some other hobby.

I've got you tagged as "nobody trying to sleep with him" for some reason and I can't remember why. This is like the 3rd time I've seen your name though. Maybe a DnD thing? Lol

Ironically I feel like PC parts would be easier to get. Just call it something generic on the customs declaration, they won't know the difference. A corrupt customs official or post office worker isn't gonna steal something if they're not sure they'll be able to fence it easily.

How can we turn a Hilux into a technical using only PC parts

Shit I'd probably still be in jail for going apeshit at the airport

Also they can just go to France to get one.

That's the most incredible thing to me : I have a hard time believing Anon couldn't just go to France for a shopping spree. Do they even need a visa to come over for like a week or so? Then again that might be pretty expensive, depending on where they went.

The issue is theft of mail, I knew people who would ship products in breakdown pieces to make them worthless to steal for this reason. He should have disassembled it, and put seperate pieces in seperate packages with random parts added in. If no one person deals with all packages at a time they won't notice.

Oh, that reminds me the time my then girlfriend and me went to Paraguay to smuggle shit, some decade and half ago. One of the things that she wanted was a new gaming console, I also bought some PC pieces. Also some booze.

We crossed four government borders, as we went in a circle: Brazil, Paraguay (for smuggling), Argentina (to visit her family), Uruguay ("might as well do some sightseeing"), Brazil. And she was often tipsy while ~~drinking~~ driving. And yet in no moment we were stopped by customs, even if the BR/PY and PY/AR borders are often used for smuggling.

Welcome to Latin America! Nothing works in Latin America! But sometimes for your benefit. Yay!

Anyway I feel sorry for Tunisianon. Although... this is from /b/, isn't it? Likely /b/ullshit.

Detailing a five year saga in 2020 for a console released in 2020.

My man invented time travel to buy a PS5, but alas, it didn't work.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

Console peasants getting scammed, tracks perfectly

Finally get one and it’s just the same PS4 games with slightly smaller pixels.

Christ, even Dad of War 2 launched on both, now that I'm looking.

Man I hope that's a shit post

Sadly there is some realty in there too much infect

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Although the story overall is not true, but sadly everything in the is not one will need to work for mouths to by a PS5 in Tunisia and the post can simply tell you to funk off for any reason or charge you double in tariffs (it happened to me twice) going aprod to Europe is almost impossible in legal way and airport security still shite all the time (phone, wine, PS5 etc...) buying a PC that is the way to go and when you go to the post to get you GPU the have no idea what it's, so they don't care "PC master race" is really here

You don’t understand. It is a motivational poster about perseverance. Or is it demotivational? Always confuse them.
