Bitter sweet because I'm pretty sure this means we lost real one. RIP

It's church thrift store run by elderly people and they get overwhelmed and will just toss anything on a whim. They practically give away the stuff they do sell.

The others that were piled up in the bottom of the box. Some of the discs had fallen out of the cases and sleeves but they all seemed fine except for one: Half-Life GOTY disc got a few tiny fatal cracks. A lot of software and bargain bin games have been excluded.

There were two discs that go with two joysticks I have. I have a sidewinder somewhere but couldn't bother looking for it for the pic. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/1860493f-80f8-44e0-9a02-bf763c6224c1.jpeg

This makes me wish we had more church/charity thrifts in my area. The only one we have is where I got a DSi, a copy of Rollercoaster Tycoon and an expansion, and my copy of Oblivion GOTY. And, as far as I am aware, the rounding up to donate to Christian education isn't going towards controversial things, so I don't mind shopping there.

If you are looking for better deals, these types of places are better... until they either get bought out or some big yt thrift reseller finds the place and suddenly it's always full of people buying out everything in order to make a profit.
