He's out here makin' fools of us!

Actually, literally, it's asking if it's "a crime".

That is both fair and valid.

Ah yes, the pre-emptive "I gotta lurk!".

I assume you're playing on a big flat screen, not a CRT? I got the DAC cuz I play on a little CRT, and I can move the Analogue consoles out to the living room if I wanna play on the big screen. Anyway, the consoles play on the CRT amazingly well, it's perfect - works in both situations incredibly simply, just unplug from the bedroom and move to the living room, and it looks great immediately. They're doing great work over there.

Yooooo I like this format, ignoring the slim chance to be over on day one lol. Sign me up.

That was part of why I sold mine. It was neat for the first couple hours or so, but then the next like 30 hours looked to be the same.

Remember everyone, just saying you're in isn't enough - send Santa your lists!

Pro tip: The URL is the same every year cuz I reserve it. You could technically donate in like, February. And bb you know I'll work for that cash.

It's a really tough thing to manage tbh. Like, on the one hand, I could totally FORCE all text, even copy-pasted (maybe?) to be dark background light text. But then people wholesale lose the ability to customize. And the system (intelligently, I'd say) allows you to copy-paste stuff onto the site and keep the styles. It's a tough-un.

There he goes talkin French again.

This is getting out of hand lol.

When you say Shiba, I assume you mean DOGE?

Don't tempt me into a competition.

Appreciate it, man!

He did it all for the nookie.

Sign me up.

Same.

Let me make sure I'm clear: I have no horse in the game grading game, outside of an honest drive to protect consumers A big part of that is supplying a free means to discuss these issues, via this forum My statement was written according to the words of a practicing lawyer; I make no claims to personal knowledge of the law, especially not in a foreign country (I am Canadian), however I have spoken with multiple lawyers to get their takes on the situation I'm in no way condoning Watas behavior, nor attempting to give them anything resembling a pass; I am simply stating facts - you asked how the situations differ, and I provided the facts. Whether the arguments hold water in court is not for me to say, nor did I claim that it was; you asked how the situations differ and I provided a response You're perfectly welcome to disagree or argue with any points I make, by all means, I welcome criticism and am open to altering my views That said, I'd say you and I are on basically the same page; I fear that you may be taking my pointing out factual differences (per your request) as being me arguing with you, which was not my intent

@RETRO - I can tell you how it differs. Wata states clearly on their site that all times are purely an estimate. Using their service, you sign a contract which is heavily weighted in their favor, legally speaking. You also are able to back out of the agreement and have them send your items back to you. It's not apples to apples as you proclaim.

But Thanksgiving was like a month ago!

Time spent having fun is never wasted, so as long as I was actively having fun in that moment, I do not consider that as time not well spent.

Extra Life! It's been a hectic year with lots of real life work going on, and in just the last week I quit my current job after lining up a new one, and I started going to the gym, and I just flew in and boy are my arms tired! Excuses aside, we're just a WEEK out from Extra Life 2021! This year November 6th is the day to mark on your calendar; I'll be playing games for as long as my tired old body will allow me to, starting from when I wake up early in the morning. The exact time will depend partially on the goings-on of the day prior (my last day at my current job), but I'll be sure to post in here when I know exactly what the plan is. What the heck is "Extra Life", though? Extra Life is a charity fundraiser where gamers like you and me can play games (generally live on Twitch or similar) to raise money for children's hospitals all over the world. Generally speaking a participant will play in support of their local children's hospital, as I am doing here (Sick Kids in Toronto in my case). The basic format is that all participants are given a shared Game Day on which most people will play games for 24 hours straight as a feat of willpower and show of support. I've done the full 24 hours in the past and I'll do it again, however after 9 years of this I'd be a liar if I said things always go to plan - what matters though is that we get out there and do our best, for the kids. Donate! It's the same link as it has been for the last 9 years! Here it is: https://www.extra-life.org/participant/douglasglover All proceeds go to Sick Kids here in Toronto! As with every year my goal is the amount I raised the year prior, which means that this years goal is an intimidating $3,375! You can track my progress at the link above, and/or join me on Twitch the day of! Last year I was able to get some prizing going, such as some art from our resident savant Casual Cart which was auctioned off. If you'd like to donate an item like a game or something rather than donating funds, that can help a lot too! Get in touch with me via PM and let me know! Participate! Like Goku before me with his mighty Spirit Bomb, I am empowered by your presence. Join me on Twitch, come say hi, stick around and chat, stay awhile and listen! I'll be happy to take game requests for the systems I have available to stream (TBD; generally NES, SNES, Genesis, PC), especially if you've made a donation.

Ah right! Yes, @Jeevan and @Mega Tank - you can have 8 players in the VS mode!

That's what I keep telling myself. Stay positive! Aaahhhh.
