omniryu 12/04/22 4:30:23 PM #1:	Maybe I am a broke boy, I just don't see the big appeal anymore to getting yhe newest and most powerful phone. I don't care if the GPU can rival an Xbox One. I already have an Xbox. The only thing I want is wireless charging and the last thing I truly care for that I have is... Google Pay. Why have a good camera if all you're doing is posting picture on social media to an audience who probably don't like you and talk behind your back. When will we stop falling for the unnecessary gimmicks and the phone sales will plateau? --- PSN/XBL: OMNIRYU; Rooting for Zio to find love and Switch FC: 5419 6809 0486 friendship <cite>omniryu posted [p:969913377] in Did you gi...
