Microsoft has been doing this since the Xbox one and wired controllers. Made all of my wired rockband instruments useless and I haven’t had the urge to play Xbox since. 

Oh god that Joel thread lmfao

Didn't someone find him on facebook and try to get him to come back a few times?

I thought I read somewhere that it could’ve been a heart attack that led to his drowning. Being in a hot tub for extended periods + having a weakened heart from all the years of drug abuse is an easy way to trigger a cardiac event. 
 

I wasn’t a fan of Friends (I didn’t hate it either and would watch an episode if nothing else was on), but he was everywhere in my mid to late teens. Sad to see him go - seems like he was one of the decent ones in Hollywood.

Indeed, there was serious shitposting all over the place at some point. But nothing was more hilarious than watching the paid mods acting like they care and were looking to improve the place, LMAO!

It's sad when Reddit is a better option than a dedicated forum

How long ago was that? Because all the quotes Ive been getting were 5%+. Even up to 8%

Honda Fit was back in 2014 or 2015, the Civic was 2020. The loans were financed through Honda Financial through the Honda dealership. It could just be a Honda thing, it could've been a promotion I lucked into (though seems unlikely and I don't recall any promotional finance deal going on either time).

Hey, good to see you again.

You actually lasted longer than many.  A lot of people bailed when they saw the circa 1997 forurm software they put in place.

Even when VGS was up and running, I'd lurk over there just to watch the shit show until they finally flushed it. It was on its way to becoming an offshoot of 8chan.

I checked back there a short while later, and saw a bunch of homophobic and transphobic things posted and I was like "yep, this place is 100% trash now". I actually forgot about that place until the other day when a buddy and I were talking about the "good ol' days of collecting".

Hey Adam!

It's nice seeing you posting something on here, we had a lot of fun back when NA was up (and also in some tinychat night sessions, haha!). Having kid(s) certainly change one's life priorities, I went through it myself.

It sure does! And we sure did! All those drunken game challenges on cam

glad to see you’re still around!

Hey! Glad to see you still kicking around. I’ve been getting your updates on SNES Eyra - anything cooking up next for NES?

Officially, no. Unofficially, yes. Same with snes

Programming wise - I’m slowly incorporating NES and SNES BASIC into SecondBASIC when I need a break from game dev. 
 

My main project right now is Affinity Sorrow, which I can fully focus on once Eyra SNES is shipped fully.

I bought a car through CarMax a few years back and it was probably the most pleasant car buying experience I ever had. I came in, told the sales guy what I wanted to look at, took a few out for a test drive, came back in, showed them my loan letter from the credit union, then walked to the sales office to finalize everything. Signed the paperwork, then went to the counter for a few more papers to sign, then got the keys and walked out the door. No haggling at all. The price is what you pay, and with that, you are probably paying higher than some other places, but it was worth it to me to not feel pressured and just have no stress for the whole thing. I would probably go back there again for my next car.

I had a coworker at my previous job do basically the same thing. When I asked her what she thought of carmax, she had nothing but good things to say about them and her experience. 
 

That said, if you’re going to finance another car, get multiple quotes/lending preapprovals and see what rates and duration works best for you. The last 2 cars I purchased from the Honda dealership were financed through Honda with 0% interest (maybe I just got lucky twice in a row with promotions?). This was on a brand new Honda FIT and then again with my current used 2016 civic, so the dealership might also have solid lending options as well.

I took forever for Eyra to come but it was definitely a well done homebrew. 

Eyra (Sega and SNES) had some major frustrations to them which delayed their releases (I'm just now getting caught up on the SNES pre-orders).

I'm happy to hear you liked it, though!

I doubt they care anymore. It's been over a month and the only thing they did was change the default font color from gray to black. Even dra600n bailed when he saw there wasn't going to be any change.

GoCollect got what they needed out of NA. They don't have any incentive to keep a forum alive.

dra600n bailed when NA got bought out after like 2 weeks.

I had a kid so forums weren't exactly a priority for me.

Also, necro bump

Holy cow, I take a day off and have nearly 30 pages to go through? This is looking more like a chatroom, lol.

It's in the mail, any day now...

Crazy seeing so many familiar faces, hope you're doing well, and I hope some of you guys stick around or pop back in once in a while  

I may, but between work, Second Dimension, and my son, my time is fairly limited.

Holy shit man how the hell are you?! Good to see you here!

Can’t complain too much

If Stefs SGDK doesn’t support it, there’s BEX, but it really only allows you to utilize the frame buffers, so everything still relies on the 68K rather than the SH2’s. 
 

from what I understand, SH2 assembly is a major pain, which is why there isn’t much out there for the 32x
