Weddings in Retro-GAF! I just got married and it cost about $200 for the civil in SF City Hall. I did not even have to pay for a suit 😊 😛

My imaginary girlfriend is great, though. She's almost as excited to get the Omega CMVS as I am. But she keeps nagging me to get Twinkle Star Sprites. Women.

My gf randomly gifted me with a CIB, Japanese Gynoug, a few days ago, because she remembered I mentioned it a while back. Just one in a million reasons I feel sincerely blessed.

Hey I didn't say I didn't like my wedding! It was a great time but it was alot of money and stress. I mean the 40 grand we spent on the wedding could have got me a few neo geo carts!

My oldest brother had a big wedding (350 people) and he ended up making a profit on it. Us Porkchops give generously. My other brother got married in Cuba and that was a lot of fun.

I remember another Toronto-GAFer mentioned there was an (Instagram? I'm not sure) account that posted pics of white guys with Asian gfs and he saw himself. People are creepy.


Congrats Yes Boss!

This is a copy from my post in the BST.

I am selling a large portion of my gaming collection and am including links to two google sheets. The sales list is everything I am definitely selling and the complete list is a nearly complete list of my collection- just missing some Gameboy and TurboGrAFX/PC-Engine stuff. It is there mostly if anyone is interested in some games that haven't been listed yet. Keep in mind- there are a lot of games in the complete list that I plan on keeping. No prices are listed in either because it's a damn large list and I really don't have the time, but I'll try to give a good deal. Come at me with a reasonable offer. Gaffers will get a small discount -so please include your Gaf name- but keep in mind that shipping will still need to be added.

SALES LIST

COMPLETE LIST
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1koUO6HSNfDTbNa6X-kdoKoARCTHzIcxO-nd64HAfvDU/edit?usp=sharing

Feel free to ask questions. I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible. I can and will take pics and send them.

Thanks

Me Three! I miss the days of awesome instruction manuals, and maps, and little other pamphlets.

I don't know if I have a favorite for sure, but I do really love the one from A Link to the Past.

Wow, that map is a bit spoilery for my tastes. I'm sorta glad I played LttP without it.

I remember searching forever for level 2 in NES Zelda and couldn't find it until I looked at the map in the book. I think I was already on level 4 or 5 by the time I did.

No answer to mine as well. Probably has a ton of people messaging him though, and I'm sure it's easier for him to sell the stuff he can to people local to him before going through whats left and then seeing what people online wanted.

I think we at least broke even. I'm not joking about this and I may be generalizing, but Koreans try and one up each other by giving more then the others at a wedding. We literally had to give my in laws a list of how much each Korean family gave us and sort it from highest to lowest so they could see who stood where in the tier list.

I get people asking me about having yellow fever all the time. The Asian thirst is real. I personally have no preference at all I just fell in love with a girl who happened to be Asian. There's a reason I deliberately chose a picture without our faces in it lol.

Yeah exactly. He didn't get back at me either, and I assumed the very same.

Yeah, I was born in San Francisco and it was really the only place to get my civil wedding done. I will do a proper wedding overseas next year but definitely one of the coolest places to get the civil.

Thanks everybody else :)

Congrats to all married folks and such.

I had a friend solder my audio board to my OSSC (I held the light!) and am super impressed and happy now that I can play my consoles on my TV through my soundbar/sub setup. It's like the second coming, bros.

Also played Casltevania Chronicles on PSX while at his house. Damn, that X68000 version of Castlevania is super rad, what with the arrange soundtrack and the three other soundtrack arrangements to choose from. I had only heard that game being hated on, but damn if it isn't fun as hell.

The OST on that one is wicked crazy good. So many different versions of classic Vania tracks.

I have been thinking about upgrading my setup with this. Can you speak to how involved the installation of the board was? (If even via your friend?) I'm coming off a high of modifying the sync and audio output direction of an RGB cable, and I want to keep it my momentum going!

I have it on the X68000. I don't know what's different between the two versions. It's a lot of fun and the music is great but it's hard as hell. I'm stuck on the second to last level.

He said it was pretty difficult. There are 9 connections to be made, 3 to these pads on the board that are extremely small and right next to a multipin chip. I'd say he spent 75% of his time on those, the other six are pretty easy.

I'd check out the instructions off of the VGP website and assess for yourself, though.

Castlevania Chronicles is great. It got shit on because it plays like Castlevania 1 (well, a bit smoother, but yeah), rather than SOTN or Super Castlevania IV. I had a great time with it, though, and the challenge it presents is really satisfying.

The arrange soundtrack is great, too.

The Morrowind one was great: I played the game on OG Xbox, and it came with the map too. Considering that game didn't hold your hand, it was almost a necessity at some points to figure out where you were going!

I loved the cloth map that came with Lunar the Silver Star Story complete on PSX. Not the most practical map, but man, it's CLOTH! SO COOL.

In undergrad, I worked as an intern at the power company. We had a drafting printer so we could send substation schematics to the technicians. I used it to print a map of Metroid so that I could finally beat it for the first time.
