How much 4e stuff do you have?

[Rupert]

All, or nearly all 4e pdfs. The same for Pyramid #3 & #4. All the SJG DFRPG pdfs. I think I have all the 4e hardbacks, plus deluxe Basic Set.

I don't have much 3e in pdf - only Vehicles and some related works. I do have a pile of 3e hardcopies, mostly Traveller, tech books, and vehicles stuff - nothing like all of it.

I lost count at "many". O.o

Come to think of it, one of those 74 additional books was actually GURPS Classic: Vehicles (my only 3e book), so if only looking at 4e stuff, by count drops to 149 or 150 (again, depending on if you count Characters and Campaigns separately or Basic Set as a whole).

I'd have a lot more if CCs and Paypals didn't have this stranglehold on global transactions.
I already got a bank, I don't need Musks one on top of it. My bank can do currency exchange, I know, cause I just recently did that.

But nooooOoooOOooOOoooOOooOOooOOOooOOooOOoo gotta be CC or Paypaaaaaal.

Get a prepaid card and use that. I believe most major credit card companies have digital prepaid variants you can purchase online using a checking account. It's an unfortunate extra step, but if SJGames' digital storefront isn't able to take payments from checking accounts, that would be an option to avoid things like PayPal, Google Pay, Shop Pay, and Venmo (which seem to be the options other than credit card that SJGames' current digital storefront will take). Well, maybe - I know it would be an option in the United States, not certain about outside of it (although it seems like, with the option to buy digital prepaid cards, that shouldn't be an issue).

If it makes you feel better, Musk has had next to nothing to do with Paypal. The company he ran bought it, and then almost immediately fired him when he tried to force them to change the name to X. Then, after more competent management made it a success, they sold it and Musk (a major stockholder but not a decision maker) became a gajillionaire.

So he really just bought Twitter to fulfill the long-deferred dream of giving an internet service a stupid name? I guess I can get behind that.

It's supposedly a stepping stone to something Musk has always wanted to do - an "everything app", where people do all their shopping / social / entertainment / taxis / money transfer / etc. with a single app, spending most of their online time in it. The US Internet culture (and I assume Europe) is split up among a bunch of popular apps. Asia tends to be more "super app" oriented: WeChat in China, Line in Japan, KakaoTalk in South Korea, Gojek in Indonesia.

If you're a Facebook user, you've probably noticed Meta trying to expand the width of FB - Reels to copy TikTok (and YouTube with Shorts), FB Marketplace for shopping and payments, etc. Musk isn't the only one that wants to master multiple niches all in one place. Meta's bought a number of Internet companies to merge together. Musk is just getting started, and ex-Twitter X (Xwitter?) is his start.

He obviously thinks the name "X" is cool (SpaceX, X Æ A-12 for his son's name, etc), even if it is (IMO) a bit overworked. (Say, how 'bout those X-Men joining the MCU, including Weapon X, perhaps better known as Wolverine? Kinda weird that it's Groot and not Wolvie that's from Planet X Racer X and Ranger X couldn't be reached for comment. To many, "X" Makes Anything Cool {Obligatory TV Tropes warning}.)

Sorry, chief. Not me. I sold my soul for a library card and a king-size Snickers bar to my other half when I was about 19. The flesh though...that's also someone else's. You'll have to argue with them about that.
