A homebrew draws near...

Bump

We’re going to try this one more time.

Enough. Keep the thread germane instead of continuing this obnoxious snark.

I don’t want to lock threads. These are fun topics for sharing perspectives on collecting. There is zero reason for these comparisons equating disagreeing on aspects of games to bigotry. You dilute the significance of that harm where it actually occurs and undermine others’ ability to take your logic seriously.

C’mon guys, I just became a mod, don’t make me punch the whole bingo card in my first month by giving warning points.

Everyone needs to be civil or we’re going to lock this thread. These are just video games, calm down.

Added Beta Soul for the Game Boy/Game Boy Color.

Moving a number of games from here to the Almanac as they are out.

Added You Do Not Exists Beyond My Perception by ItsDisbelief, a GBA music cart, already sold out.

Added Super Express by Umamifunk, a GBA music cart, already sold out.

Added Crabbie Attack for the NES by Gossip Turtle, with a March 31, 2023 date noted. Hmm MGC is that weekend...coincidence???

Skatemasta – Tcheco for the NES has been moved to Purgatory because the developer has mentioned on Twitter that work on this game is not continuing at this time.

Added Super Sunny World for the NES, in development by Matt Hughson.

Added The Train for Game Boy, now live on Kickstarter!

What a great idea! Are you interested in a physical release? We might be able to help!

By request, I have removed images that included the contact information of other people. For future reference, please censor photos that include other’s contact information. You can reupload the photo of the transaction if you redact or crop out the email address.

There’s a potentially unanswered question here unless I missed something. When did Eternax learn they were fake?

I’ve been lead to believe that you just show up to a yard sale and Stadium Events like fall from the sky onto you before the shit hit the fan

I think the Stadium Events and the fan post-shit collision were part of a package deal at that sale.

I think it’s ultimately your store and you have the right to refuse service, especially if you have strong reason to believe they are effectively stealing from you.

It’s certainly hard to protect against unless you take the added, and often prohibitive cost of making the game undumpable. While I agree that sellers leave potential money on the table by not pursuing all possible revenue streams, it’s their prerogative what they do with their blood, sweat, and tears.

And while advocating for more digital availability of games is a worthwhile effort, dumping those games to make a little coin yourself does not make you Robin Hood or a “preservationist” (I use quotes because there are actual preservationists out there, and unless you consistently work toward such an archive, you’re just a cheap jerk making excuses because you can’t get what you want by legitimate means). It just makes you a thief with a poor attitude of “who’s going to stop me?”

Plus, we have People like Tanooki who openly advocate for stealing others IP by dumping games and making repros, so everything is fair game nowadays. 

Let’s please focus on the merits of the question posed rather than devolve into unprovoked personal invective.
