@Zuljaras Well, obviously, it's a screen shot, so I assume it was supposed to say "I took a candid picture", but somehow, Google Translate doesn't seem to work that well, translating Asian languages to English, making it hard to choose the correct version, or perhaps he just made that sentence up all by himself.
So, in short, it was more of a rhetorical question, but that'll probably fly right over his head again...

@ThanosReXXX At least the part about hunky dudes is correct so all is well in the world
On a separate note. After getting my NES Mini I got paranoid that it might be fake since I took it second hand for about 30$ and it is in mint condition. Soooo .. I took it apart and thank goodness it is original
@Zuljaras Lucky you.
The person who sold it to you definitely didn't have a drop of scalper blood in him, otherwise he'd realized what a valuable item he had in his possession. Just looking at eBay and what people are still asking for them, it's still insane. And that goes for the SNES and Sega mini as well.

@ThanosReXXX Actually he knew but here in Bulgaria it is hard for people to sell retro gaming stuff at the real prices because nobody will buy them. Also most people here do not want to sell internationally so they sell it for more affordable prices. I bought a mint condition GBA SP AGS-101 (yes AGS-101) for … 8$.
Also our currency is weaker to the Euro, Dollar and Pound. Like 1 Euro = 2 Leva.
Yes you read that right! The dude was selling it because it was pink (the correct color naming is Pearl as Nintendo calls it) and nobody here want a girly console But hey man it is AGS-101 so I do not care even if it had unicorns pooping rainbows on it.
Many of my retro console and games are cheap enough compared to the eBay prices But they are pretty rare.
On a side note I read that you argue with one individual over the Sega products. Trust me just check the comment history of that user and you will see what a blind fanboy you are dealing with. Nothing but "Nintendo rules so everything else is crap!".
@Zuljaras I had similar luck. Found a black AGS-101 in a thrift store for $10. Near mint (a few light scuff marks) and works perfectly.
What a difference, I love the 101 screen and backlight.
@ThanosReXXX This is deliberate misinformation indeed. Saying that something is crap just because it is not Nintendo is so dumb. Fanboyism is one of the worst things in every gaming website.
@Cotillion The screen of the AGS-101 is so damn perfect! And to think that people used to buy the DS Phat when it came out and its screens are so damn bad compared to the beauty of the SP. The GBA Micro also had a nice screen but it was too small compared to the SP.
I've visited the sister sites a few times, but I don't believe I've ever posted there. Last I checked the Push Square forums done time ago, they seemed a bit dead.
@bimmy-lee I love most breads, both the healthy and the not-so-healthy. There's a family recipe for white bread floating around that I want but don't have. The stuff is pretty good! I'm not the biggest fan of pumpkin anything. I've found I don't mind the gourd itself, but some of the stereotypical adds like pumpkin spice don't do my taste buds any favors.
Come to think of it, there was a package of cucumbers left, but the poor souls had already hit puberty. Hopefully I have better luck with my store run tomorrow evening.
@Heavyarms55 I think the main appeal for the Let's Go games for me is that I really love Pokemon Yellow; it's one of my favorite games in the series. I know they're a spin-off more than anything else, but there's still some curiosity there. The main thing I'm weighing is whether to get one of them or Sw/Sh first. I've been a bit behind on Pokemon games the last few years. Heck, I finally got around to playing and beating Ultra Sun just last summer.
@NintendoByNature Awesome! I think I'm still gonna wait awhile before I get it. I hope that you and the young NBNs enjoy it! And the missus, if she plays too.
@Zuljaras Indeed. Good find on that AGS-101 screen, by the way. I've still got my Game Boy Advance SP as well, but with the inferior screen. I never bothered to upgrade it, though. I also still own the regular Game Boy Advance, clear purple, non-backlit version.

@Tyranexx ahh thanks. Yea I figured might as well. Aside from trials in April, and tw101 in may I'm open. I do have some Wii u games i can play and finish up but theres always time for that.
@NintendoByNature Ah, so you're upcoming queue is quite light until we get more announcements. Wish I could say the same. XD I've been working quite a bit this week to try and finish a project and haven't been gaming much. I hope to take it easy some of tomorrow evening and Friday afternoon. Not running on the best sleep right now.
@Tyranexx yea I'm playing thru Owlboy and ff7 atm and Owlboy only has a few hours left. Then I can play another megaman zero game or 2 which is only a few hours each. Assassins creed rebel collection can wait.
Oh and doom64 every so often. So animal crossing can get tossed in once im down with owlboy soon 😋
@Tyranexx If Let's Go offered the option to use the pro-controller, or two joycons in the conventional manner even while docked, my opinion would be much higher. That said, I don't hate the game, I just really don't like that control set up. If you intend to get both eventually though... probably do Let's Go first, because I can't imagine going back to Let's Go after playing Sw/Sh. I know there's a lot of "people" out there who have raw, vicious, unrestrained, foaming at the mouth hatred for the 8th generation of Pokemon - that's their right I suppose. But I happen to love it. I've dropped over 300 hours in Sw/Sh and that's before the DLC is even out. I think they are the best Pokemon titles since the DS days (though I'd still rank gens 4 and 5 higher for Platinum, HG/SS and BW2)
On another note - playing Let's Go first also gets you a free g-max Pikachu or Eevee in Sw/Sh just for having the save data on your system.
@ThanosReXXX A big part of it is, for me, better graphics from the new console is a given of course it's gonna look better. It's like when you order a pizza, you don't have to tell the store you want cheese. Of course the pizza is going to have cheese on it, it's what they do. Of course the new consoles are going to have better graphics, that's what new consoles do.
So for PS5 and XboxX I want to know what else is new. What makes them different or interesting or better in ways other than the expected fancier graphics.
And also like you point out, if graphics are my only concern, why am I not buying a gaming PC? Yes a gaming PC is more expensive, but it's also something I can upgrade in a couple years instead of buying PS5 Pro or XboxXPrimeMegaDeluxe Version 2.1 if I want to continue pushing those graphics as new tech comes out.
@Anti-Matter your president is dead and your talking about using a toilet......thats not very good thats what my teachers would say....
That's very impolite to say dead for very important peoples such as president, king, sultan, queen, etc.
Say passed away instead.
Btw, you didn't even read my whole post.
Read again to see what i have posted on previous page.
Oh, btw...
There are many kind of toilets on Animal Crossing New Leaf 3DS. 😁
Which one you like ?
Toilet or Super Toilet or Public Toilet or Portable Toilet ?
Oh... It has flushing sound effects as well. 😄
@NintendoByNature I've heard FF 7 has some miles to it, though according to HLTB it's not the longest entry in the series. Looks like that honor may go to FF 12 if the two MMOs are ignored.
@Heavyarms55 I recall reading about the G-Max Pikachu and Eevee shortly before Sw/Sh launched. Nothing too crazy, but a perk is still a perk! Gigantamax looks pretty cool, though I'm afraid it's doomed to be another one and done gimmick.
If I recall, the control setup is just with one joy-con, correct? It seems odd yet intuitive for co-op play, but I'm surprised there aren't any other options. That's not a deal breaker for me, but it's certainly an odd design choice.
Funnily enough, Gens IV and V both rank highly for me as well. HG/SS are still my favorite set of games, and I hold all the other main series Pokemon games that graced the DS in high regard.
@ThanosReXXX - That’s a cool Sega site, thanks. I missed it on the main page today. Yes, the Wii or really any VR are great for people watching in general, and if our alien overlords are watching that; it probably gives them a deep satisfaction that we’re still a long way off from discovering the Matrix.
@Tyranexx - Hopefully that was mold on the cucumbers and not Cucovid. Boom. I would eat an entire loaf of that homemade white bread. Find the recipe and make a couple loads, and I’ll trade you a sugar cream pie for one sometime.
@NintendoByNature@HobbitGamer - Those both earned an audible chuckle from me. Had kind of a whacky day and just starting in on the kitchen. I’ll be on later, but probably another 45 minutes to an hour. I’ll see what you two are up to if anything at that point.
