'Well, you are probably enjoying crunch games as well'I don't know what's your favourite games, but chances are most were born under game dev crunches. It's not even a recent phenomena: Doom (1993) was the result of a couple devs quite literally living in their offices for months, even sleeping there, giving their all (including their sanity) to build the shooter of their dreams. Newer, younger team members who wanted to have a life weren't seen too well by the old guard. For better or worse, this is how gaming has been since like forever. It sucks. I'm also calling for unionizing and for press to call out crunches, hopefully pushing through a change. But by calling out people who bought games made under crunch "pathetic", you're not doing yourself a lot of favours because I can practically guarantee you played A LOT of games made in similar conditions. It's just that some cases it is well-known because somebody reported on it, while most of the times it just remains a secret that the devs spent 80 hours on a week for a year to finish your fancy videogame.
But I don't want to derail the thread further.
Obviously the sensible thing for anyone to do is compare the Amazon Prime price to the price other retailers are currently offering online, rather than comparing to the previous Amazon price. Which goes for any sale really.Amazon normally inflate a lot prices leading up to prime day then make out you're getting a good deal when you really are not but obviously there are still a few good deals to be had.

'i will also not derail the thread further'
pick one.
Here's an on topic message

I added meaningful stuff, you decided to play make-believe saying I enjoy games with crunch because you couldn't come with anything but 'let people enjoy a company eating people's lives :C'You called out on people enjoying "crunch games" when you probably enjoy them yourself. I replied to that, and called a truce to avoid derailing the thread even further. You chose to misinterpret this part too with another witty one-liner instead of adding anything meaningful to my post. If you have anything to say besides quick replies with namecalling or memes, feel free to do so. Otherwise, I'm moving on from this discourse.
Same here, I think I only bought for people who needed stuff like food or last minute things. It's not that hard.I've made a concerted effort to buy less from Amazon this year so I'm not getting anything or crossing the picket
Yeah, love it when they sell stuff for a whole year forAmazon normally inflate a lot prices leading up to prime day then make out you're getting a good deal when you really are not but obviously there are still a few good deals to be had.
Saw this one, it might be what you looking forSo this thread is about working conditions and crunch now? Great...
Ontopic: Didn't find any great deals yet but I bought an external USB Drive for Backups because mine is dying. 135€ for 8TB isn't too bad.
I actually don't need anything else right now. That 10€ bonus for 100€ gift cards seems decent enough though. Might bite.

This thread is now about luluboi patting himself on the back.Same here, I think I only bought for people who needed stuff like food or last minute things. It's not that hard.
I might buy this and scare the shit out of my wife.
Saving this for the luluboi bit so it can count towards misgendering on purpose
This is important but I think it warrants its own thread. Let people who want to buy stuff on Amazon discuss deals in this thread without derailing the conversation imho, with a different thread dedicated to the strike. Seems like the best solution but I'm not a moderator.
See no reason as to why they cant mention it here. It's important, everyone might now know. Amazon treats it's workers badly.
No one is forcing anyone but everyone should know at the very least.
Just like in every THQ thread there's the reminder that they promoted their games via 8chan.
Neither is what you posted and you are acting like that, you wanna support amazon? Go ahead bud, some of my friends live off amazon and that's good but I replied with the clown costume post to someone who was sub replying me and to everyone who needs to reply to me because 'booo hooo my deals...ruined'Mentioning it and judging other users and calling them clowns for shopping in Amazon aren't the same thing.
I just dont want to scroll through over 1000 items. They shoulda sort it betterThe only stuff I ever want on Amazon never goes on sale. And it's not like they're especially weird things, but rather that Amazon has so much stuff that they discount millions and millions of products and still never touch anything I've ever heard of, much less am actively interested in.
Too bad Amazon has no spines on sale.Nice, been buying loads from Amazon recently so the next few days should be good
I'll buy extra as well just cover what lulubou sn't buying
Bought a Note 9, a Fitbit for the girlfriend and a few books I've been after
Prime for a year at £59 is decent
Mentioning it and judging other users and calling them clowns and pathetic for shopping in Amazon aren't the same thing.

This is off topic but is your avatar Figment? Cause that's rad if so!
I'm not being hostile though and poiting to anyone, but people have been bile and hostile to me to the point of getting my gender wrong on purpose, why are you not counting that? Because it doesn't favor your point? :COkay. So just don't call people pathetic and clowns for their decision? It's not really hard. If you don't want to shop on Amazon that's completely up to you. Don't be hostile for those who are talking about the thread topic though.
Yeah it's kinda all over the place, but at the same time, I'm not sure what they could change? I dunno; I'm no UX engineer. Maybe a branching tree system? A no picture option? Not using those goofy horizontal scroll panels? I don't really go there for random things - I really only use it for things I specifically know I already want...and then those things are never on sale.I just dont want to scroll through over 1000 items.

Yeah it's one thing to mention it, It's another thing to actively attack other users for wanting to use it regardless.Mentioning it and judging other users and calling them clowns snd pathetic for shopping in Amazon aren't the same thing.
You literally waltz into the thread and chastised everyone in here for wanting to look for deals on things they want:Neither is what you posted and you are acting like that, you wanna support amazon?

ERA stands with devs when it comes to crunch
but workers having bad salaries, bad conditions and a long ass etcetera from a company that barely pays any taxes?
Nah, give me those sweet deals!!
Pathetic.It pisses you off for a reason.
You are an adult and should be able to understand why this sucks and have empathy, I'm not here to educate you.Neither is what you posted and you are acting like that, you wanna support amazon?

You called users hypocrites for not supporting crunch but supporting Amazon and that they're pathetic. Yeah people are gonna be upset if you talk to them like that.
Do deals change throughout the 2 days? Or is what u see now what you get?OKAY MOVING SWIFTLY ON.
This actually isn't a great start to Prime Day. So much random brand shit everywhere. I think the best deal are those Samsung SSD's. Everything else is a resounding meh.
They normally throw more stuff up on deal over the 2 days. There is also the upcoming deals section that I haven't had a chance to properly look at. Plus there are the lightning deals which can have good stuff now and then but you gotta be quick.Do deals change throughout the 2 days? Or is what u see now what you get?
Y'all, just don't buy shit from Amazon these couple of days. You can do that much to stand by the workers who are on strike right now.
Can you point out some of the good ultrawide gaming monitors deals?There are some decent deals in there. I looked at my wishlist and saw some alright deals on gaming monitors, gaming laptops, SSDs, hard drives, mice and keyboard and more.
It's all a matter of digging through chaff and getting some good deals. That said, I haven't seen anything spectacular but that stuff sells out immediately thanks to scalpers.
Might pick up couple 8TB drives, a 1TB NVME SSD (Intel or Corsair 1tb, Samsung seems more expensive in US and I don't need the speed) and external enclosure, plus some cables and chargers.
Tempted to finally pick up a Gsync Ultrawide monitor, but probably won't bite. Doubt I will get anything on the console side but who knows.
WHat are they striking for? It would be good for you to give a brief explanation if you want support.Stand in solidarity with the striking workers and don't buy anything from Amazon. Don't use Twitch.

They're striking so they don't have to piss in jars during their shifts to meet their ever increasing quotas.WHat are they striking for? It would be good for you to give a brief explanation if you want support.
Will do once I am not on mobile. For example Alienware 34" is $719 which matches last BF. There were couple LGs and Acer as well. If you do a search on 34" Gsync or Ultrawide Gsync you can find some interesting stuff. Just make sure the res is right. Oh and Acer is 35" monitor I believe.Can you point out some of the good ultrawide gaming monitors deals?
