We are getting what we asked for, but is it what we need?

I am still not sure what to think and sadly my home has flooded and guess where my studio is?.. Wont be back in that area for a while i surmise.. Ice storm came through ontario, took out the power grid, pumps stopped running and the basement filled up. You guys should have seen me running gear up the stairs... all my tapes, disks, records, computers, music hardware, and my stash of retro-consoles. I was bailing hard until i realised its a lost cause and to jump ship. Very bad week for me, makes me think about the ppl in katrina who lost everything. This aint even close to that..

Damn, bro that's fuc*ked up. Nature can be a cruel **** sometimes. I'll glad your OK.

Yeah, this thread is one of topics that's gonna trigger people. I still it's still too early to have any strong judgment either way since 3.0 is still in beta according to Conan's 3.4.3 video. So we don't know what else they have on the menu.

Ultros, very sad to hear that. Hope you can recover as much stuff as possible. Big hug, man.

Thanks fellas... it sure is cold here.

Man, that's tough

I guess Ultros finally found a way to convince his wife to have his studio upstairs, sort of...

Sorry for the water, comrade... As I'm currently repainting a water-ruined room, I empathize completely !

Holy shiiiit dude, my condolences
I know that in the moments like this, this is the last thing you should be concerned about but hopefully there's anything salvageable

LOL you got yours a few months after I got mine. Somebody gave me some money for graduating that June, and like a dumbass I went and blew it on the Genesis and some games. Worst part is selling it a few years later for like pennies. Same with my NES. Took that to a pawn shop in like 93/94, had both the gold cart Zeldas that were bought brand new among other things, I think I got a whole $30 or something for the whole lot. Back in those days, I probably could've traded the whole thing for a 909 or 808 though haha.

you got a sega cdx still?!?! shit man your steelo want way up! lol. eff the topic lets talk consoles! lol. have you had yours since it was new? i got my sega cd in 1996 used but the price even then was no joke it was hefty at the time. i had the 32x as well but like a punk kid traded it and got jipped. I also once tore apart a virtualboy with a hammer.. thats a diff story.

Ok one more overly personal off topic for the **** of it. you guys never really seen me before and atm im in a good mood so lol here is me and my dancing partner "moppy". https://streamable.com/u7pvqg
