    I don't click on these much anymore, keep forgetting they're tucked away in here! (Don't mean that as a criticism of status updates, more my failing brain!)

      I wish there was some in-between.  It seems they are now all but forgotten.  I wish at least that they appeared as Forum content and would appear on the sidebar by the latest posts...

    I find it hilarious that BASE jumpers wear helmets. If something goes wrong, trust me bud, the helmet ain't gonna help.

      It might be helpful if a bird flies in to your head or you land in a tree and hit a branch.

      Cebus Capucinis

      Hmm, fair point. And if a bird does smack one of them, I'd want the GoPro so we can see it recorded for posterity! My position is officially changed! Helmets for all BASE jumpers!

      Not what you're talking about, I know, but I do remember hearing (a long time ago) about a guy who's chute failed and he hit trees, Pine trees I think;  and the branches broke his fall and he ended up surviving with just a broken ankle.

      Ha! Yeah, I need to pull that and patch the wood. Stupid thing. It's at...99% right now. Just redid the wiring harness / rebuilt the power supply. The only problem right now is the 2716s in it have bad code (game plays fine, but the scoring goes in reverse!) so I'm waiting on a test ROM and new 2716s from hobbyroms.com - I need to get a burner at some point but I'm too lazy currently.

      Space Invaders is at 100% though! Just added a NOS Willis CPO to it and finally recapped the WG1000 chassis, then added the Braze Multigame kit which is a blast.

      I've def had enough flakes on eBay....I've never been like that so I can barely process that some people are so annoying/stupid/scammer-ish.  When everyone understands/obeys the rules, it's fine...It really makes me mad when all is said and done.  In the old days ya couldn't do much either. (Example)  I "sold" a brand new PSP on Launch Day.   A guy ran the price up,  I would've even made a little something.  Except he didn't pay.  I left Negative Feedback but now, like a new car driven off the lot,  my PSP is Not worth as much.  Ended up selling it to a friend for just retail and I ate the cost of tax.

      That clown is probably sad because he's doing the numbers for his profit/loss statement on Excel or Google Sheets and has find out he made no money, because kids are terrified of clowns and don't want them at their parties.

  10. Cebus Capucinis

    I mean this not as criticism, but why is it that the new "retro" consoles (Amico and VCS) are always flooded with "Y'know what would be great? The nine hundredth version of <insert arcade games here>! There aren't seventy other systems to play that on or anything!"

      That's what I don't understand, why people can't tell the difference between a $60 Flashback with more 2600 games than a $300 VCS which is a low end PC.

       

      Maybe had Atari SA communicated the purpose of the VCS better than they did then there wouldn't be so much confusion...oh wait, I'm just another "hater" trying to give constructive criticism for a product made for easy triggered social media junkies instead of actual retro gamers. :roll:

    3. Cebus Capucinis

      Cebus Capucinis

      In their defense (albeit very little) I think it's an incredibly hard market to figure out. Frankly, we don't live in a world of "niche" products anymore - even the stuff that's "indie" is big business on major consoles. There's no middle ground - either you make the retro crowd happy with Flashbacks and other inexpensive (relatively) nostalgia-machines and member-berry production, or you (miserably fail) at attempting AAA stuff to compete with MSonyTendo.

       

      Ouya proved that singlehandedly by dying on the vine almost instantly. There just isn't a market for something like this, even well executed (and admittedly Atari certainly didn't execute well)...

      Funny,  My CollectorVision Phoenix is fun as hell and was made by a couple of guys I know (of) from here on AtariAge...My Dragonfly cart arrived today but I haven't had a chance to check it out, but fingers crossed.  And Again, that too... it was a fan project...And look at all the homebrews!

       

      Maybe if Atari SA  A) Had more than one brain cell in their collective head,  and B) Wasn't so busy trying to rip people off...I could go on (and On and On) but really I'm going to stop here.   I'm not going to make excuses for them...(I could figure out the market better than them without even turning on my brain, because I happen to like video games...)

  11. Cebus Capucinis

    I often wonder, now that homebrews are more widespread, whether some creators intentionally make low numbers to artificially inflate the rarity.

      ^ Well, we're all human, but I like to think we keep that under control here better than most places.  If we're made aware of personal attacks and insults, we'll deal with them as needed, but of course we can't be everywhere at once.

      Porn isn't angry, hahaaha.  Neither is online shopping, of which I'm doing more of since I don't want to hang out in a hospital.  I would add fantasy sports as a benefit but that is going down the toilet for the moment.

       

      But it is what you make of it.  Don't be an asshole, don't let assholes get you upset, everything goes pretty smoothly.  The anonymity and distance convinces closet assholes to reveal themselves, allowing you to remove them from the give a shit list.  I see that as a positive, less people to be concerned about, I had my doubts about that guy but now they are confirmed, etc.

      Yes. I'll be the first to admit I was wrong one year ago when I forecast a crash due to unemployment and other effects of the pandemic. It seems that many of the people into video games have mostly been unaffected, possibly even had a boost in finances leading to prices still spiraling upwards.

      Good thing we have multicarts and emulators, in the future that will be the only affordable ways to enjoy this hobby. ?
