@Anti-Matter Wow! That's a very good price for White Dog Squad. It's usually more than twice as much in the U.S. now since physical copies are hard to find.
@AlohaPizzaJack Aha, thanks for the explanation. I do think that nowadays, a game wrapped in a package with a catch phrase saying "pull the blue knob" probably isn't safe enough to pass modern society's sensitivity sensor...
I actually also know telephone. It's basically the kids version of "an alien has landed in Central Park" turning into a full-blown, worldwide alien invasion, because people just don't tend to listen carefully to what other people say, and most have the attention span of a turnip...
@Tyranexx What the heck kind of fire ant is a RIFA? Is that shorthand for the domesticated Rather Indoors Fire Ant?
As for VGA boxes, I've got this one: https://www.amazon.com/VGA-S-Video-Adapter-RETROBIT-Sega-Drea...
Unfortunately, that one isn't available anymore, at least not on Amazon, as you can see, but you can probably still find it on eBay, or on another web shop. Just save the image, and use that to Google it.
The advantage of this specific VGA box, is that it has both a VGA and S-Video connector and a switch to alternate between the two, meaning that the games that do not support VGA can be displayed in S-Video format. Most other VGA boxes or cables don't support this, meaning you'd have to swap out cables, every time you play a game that needs either the normal cable or the VGA one.
But there does seem to be an exception to the rule, which is this cable: https://www.amazon.com/Tomee-HD-VGA-Cable-Dreamcast-sega/dp/B...
I've also read a lot about it, and it seems to work perfectly fine with nearly all games, non-VGA games included. According to the description, only certain games will display a menu screen in black & white, but the games themselves will display in color. If you scroll down a little bit, you'll also see that the cable is often sold in a bundle with an HDMI converter, which might be handy for you, if you don't have an actual VGA pin connector on your TV screen.
@NintendoByNature I was going to send you this, because I was a few pages behind with answering replies in this thread, but I see that @ReaderRagfish already enlightened you:
You can cross out text by using the 'del' command. If you know how to make bold or italic text, or how to post images, just replace those letters/words in between the brackets with the word 'del'.
So, it'll look like this (except with spaces in between the individual brackets removed):
[ del ]text I want to cross out[ / del ]
@NEStalgia Why do you ask? Is there something going on with uBlock that I should be aware of?
Either way, it's working perfectly fine.

@Ninfan They might've added online to the eShop version, however for the physical version I have, it doesn't contain online due to it being an early 3DS launch title.

I made Sheldon & Mr. Randoms back on Flipnote Hatena, now i'm a kangaroo mod that has a funko pop collection!
I'm not keen politics since that stuff is spooky, I'd rather watch SpongeBob over Fox News anyways!
My bro and I are trying to swap out my kitchen sink and some of the lines to it. It's definitely...fun. (As in it sucks but needs done...Some minor issues so far....)
@NintendoByNature I was gonna explain how to do strike out text, but I was beaten to it. Text formatting on forums back in my high school days is one of the reasons why I decided to go into programming since I found it fun.
@ThanosReXXX RIFA = Red Imported Fire Ant. Their native turf is in South America (Brazil and some of its neighbors), but they've been classified as an invasive species in the US since the 1930s and have appeared elsewhere in the world as well. I know parts of Australia deal with them too.
I was actually watching some anthill art videos awhile back. Pretty fascinating stuff!
@ThanosReXXX hmm wired the problem didn't catch you. They started requiring signed extensions since time so. The brilliant, arrogant jerks at Mozilla did that, removed the option to override ...... And then forgot to renew the certificate. So it expired at midnight gmt, and nearly all extensions are getting disabled and moved to legacy......
It took 10 hours for a beta fix you have to turn "studies" on top obtain.. the messed up catastrophically... Reddit is some good entertainment today. People switching to edge and chrome left and right after they. The worst is people who use browser plugin based pwd managers.....
I just finished up playing Earthworms. It was alright. But I feel like halfway through the story they forgot what the original plot was and just went all X Files. Now I need to re-stuff the couch cushions. And vacuum. And other productive things because I took a 3 hour nap for some reason.

@NEStalgia Ha, one of the benefits of using a modded version of Vista: I haven't got the "latest and greatest" version of Firefox, so those kinds of things don't happen to my apps and add-ons.
But even if I would have had Windows 10, I would still have stayed with Firefox, because regardless of its quirks at times (I did actually experience a number of problems with add-ons not being verified for some time, in the past), it's still the best and most secure browser.
After all: there's a reason that the world's most secure and anonymous web browser Tor is based upon Firefox, and not upon the ungainly, user-unfriendly joke that is Chrome, and don't even get me started on Edge or any other Microsoft browser. Opera might be the next best thing, if you ask me, but not Chrome or Edge. Definitely not.
I also use a secure password manager, and that also stores data locally, so even if my browser would fail me for whatever reason, I'd still have access to all the info contained in the password manager.
Oh, well. By the time that I get a brand new, obligatory Windows 10 PC, Mozilla will more than likely already have taken care of these current issues, so I don't have to lose any sleep over it (yet).
On a side note: have none of these Reddit whiners considered that even on an up to date OS, you can still revert to an older version of Firefox, negating all these issues by default? As long as you've got a good anti-virus and anti-malware program installed, the security (and/or version) of the browser itself is of secondary concern, or even lower.
What should have been a 2-3 hour job took twice that amount of time. X_X One of the shut-off valves to the kitchen sink was bad, so we swapped those out too. Getting them just right so that they wouldn't leak was fun. We had to shut off the main water line to the house more than once.
So much for "lax weekend"...But hey, at least it's done. Plus, my bro is awesome.
@ReaderRagfish "Technically functional but not enjoyable" is a good way to put it. To be fair, I think it's better overall than IE.
