Yeah, RetroGAF is a cool crew. YOu guys are the number one reason I come back to the GAF every day.
Also, of course, congrats Yes Boss! I loved seeing the pics on IG.
Well, I am a nerd. Just a normal nerd.

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 😊 😛
Congrats!

Nice. You guys look great! Congrats!
I think most gamers are normal. There are a few closet cases that give the rest of us a bad rep.

Maybe. But I work in games, and am constantly disappointed.

Uhh, retrocouples all shiny and beautiful! Congratulations, guys. 
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.
You already know you have to, now.Grats Yes Boss!
Please tell me I don't have to post a picture too now that people are doing it

#blessed for real
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!

I got this yesterday and I'm pretty excited for it. Treasure of the Rudras, Square's last Super Famicom release.

I love it when games include a map.

Has anybody heard from Brainpann since he posted this? I haven't seen posts in the thread and my PM's have gone unanswered....
Me too. Which included map is everyone's favorite?
I was a big fan of the one that came with The Elders Scrolls III: Morrowind:

It unfolded to be so big in person. You don't really get the same effect in this image.

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.

i never had it so i couldn't beat the game.
Nah -- you used it correctly. My brain just wasn't firing on all cylinders.
Wow, that map is a bit spoilery for my tastes. I'm sorta glad I played LttP without it.

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.

Congrats! I got married at City Hall too. Great decision. I might be biased cuz i work for the City, but City Hall is pretty awesome.
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.

I love Gynoug, Game's amazing
FINE I'll post one later QQ

i'll love it more when 3d printers replace all the maps i lost
LTTP
Phantasy Star II & III
Miracle Warriors (okay i never actually had that one)
Starflight
etc
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.

i had to buy two copies of Miracle Warriors just to get a nice map!
you need a map for that game.

That sounds awesome.

It was pretty cool.
I've moved so much since undergrad (Seattle->State College, PA->Chicago). There's no way the drafting paper would have survived. I probably threw it away when I finished because my apartment in Seattle was 400 sqft.
