According that linked thread, you're the secondmost uncool herd, after the fools who pronounced it as "Snezz", like someone sneezing.

P/s: "fools" here referred affectionately. Had to post these disclaimers in all my posts after this, "fools" here always misconstrued my posts as being in "attack mode" and "pissing people off".

At least you get what I meant, andrew. There's no room for creativity in expressing yourself in here. It's either posting like a polite maid, or none at all. No wonder the forum's dead.

And I TRY not to post one-liners, other in Kopitiam-centric thread like this. And I TRY to post links to articles and posts I wrote and mentioned.

At first I thought you're one of the cool kids/nerds when you mentioned "N.E.S/S.N.E.S", but then later you mentioned calling it "Super Nintendo". Cool factor deflated. Only TV commercials and clueless moms and dads call them "Super Nintendo", like how these moms and dads call recording a video as "taping" it, as if referring to the *yuck* VHS tapes. *vomits*

Most of my nostalgia can be serviced with emulators. A mini version of an actual version that doesn't accept cartridges ain't doing it for me, coz in the end, if you wanna make it as if you have endless supplies of SNES games in it, you'd have to copy ROMs into its internal memory, and that'll make you realize that it's an emulator, not the real thing. You're just infatuated with the shape of the thing, the process of getting and playing games from it, comes from emulators that are available freely on the market.

If they re-release the original version with working cartridge slot (and modified HDMI output instead of those RCA or *vomit* RF/TV antenna out), that'll be a better reason to get one for me. An Raspberry Pi emulator encapsulated in a shell of the classic console in mini form,........ is just a lie to me.

You can always make it your own "must buy", if the state of its hardware is similar to what the NES Mini was, you can install your own ROMs in and play.

Inb4 "no StarFox 2 ROM out in the wild, other than fan-translated or Japanese version patched to English". Well........by the time this SNES Mini releases, there will be. If you know what I mean. That's the nature of emulated software, you can easily swap in content, and easily swap out as well. It'll be ironic if the StarFox 2 version of the game in that SNES Mini, turns out to be the same English fan-translated version of the ROM already out in the wild now. That'll be a giggle.

Where have I heard of that before? Hmmmmmmm....

Preorders up locally for the SNES Mini. RM588.

Is your "nostalgia" or "StarFox 2" worth RM588? You decide. StarFox 2 can easily be dumped online and consumed as ROMs on multitudes of emulators available. Inb4, "but emulators dont look/feel/"nostalgiate" like a physical mini SNES". "Nostalgia" really does a helluva thing to an old gamer's perception, eh? Tsk tsk tsk.

Hey, you're right! So it's less of a slaughter now, and instead, just a little whipping and blood-letting.

RM499 at GH...........but, as I recall, there was a price revision as the date of release approaches for the previous NES Mini, and guess what? It was revised upward, not downward.

*types some numbers into calculator*

Now it's only USD37 (RM499 translated to USD minus retail price of USD80) more "scalpier" compared to USD57 "cutthroatness" (RM588 translated to USD minus retail price of USD80). What a bargain, right!!? /s

When in doubt, always fall back to the root of it all: Najib.

USD/MYR is his fault. It could've been less than RM300 instead of RM499 or RM588.

That cycle of grief. Until Nintendo drop the bullshit about doing online their way under the excuse of protecting the children, this is your private hell, Nintendo fans.

And here I thought they wanted to change from just catering to their core demographics. You cant catch lightning in a bottle twice, that only happened once with the Wii. I would've thought to use the goodwill garnered from their current momentum to assure people they wont return to their stupid earlier WiiU days. Hell, even "stupid earlier WiiU days" have simple, working, not-complicated voice-chat!

Nintendo continues its bone-headed decision streak (after their "brilliant" voice chat app /s ), with this!

They're even worse than the current standard of DLC-selling/content locking practice currently, now Nintendo locks content traditionally and historically available since time immemorial, behind a stupid plastic figure, that has the potential of price inflation as their own model of "DLC".

Got Nintendo share/saham la tu. You 1%-er you.

This is your next test, Nintendo shills. You passed and survived the "test" Capcom put out slaughtering you with a USD40 USF2:TFC for your platform-starved Switch, now they're putting a double whammy with "Revelaiton" 1+2.

http://www.capcom-unity.com/capkel/blog/20...witch-late-2017

At least, this time they (Capcom) have soften the blow by pricing them at USD19.99 each. For a 5 year old 3DS title no less.

Enjoy! /s

That's a "revelaiton", you're right! I guess the two "extra" fighters, color palettes and some shitty waggle hadoukens are worth the extra USD20-25 premium on top of its previous version to the game-starved Switch audience.

Just read the leaked Game of Thrones episode 4 "Spoils of War" script, after that massive HBO leak/hack less that 24 hours ago.

This week's episode will be action packed as HELL, and BLISTERING HOT as DRAGONFIRE itself as well.

Cersei will be REALLY counting her coins, her luck and her battles won this time, Dany's not playing around anymore.

Just saw the leaked episode of Game of Thrones coming out in 72 hours from now. Everything in the leaked script was true. But nothing compared to seeing how it was portrayed on-screen. What a crispy-hot episode!

Just saw the latest episode, and the leaked script and description described it exactly with pinpoint accuracy with a T! All the exact details! That's strike two already. Which also implies that the leaked script and description describing Episode 6 next week is also true, and oh boy....................Episode 6 , "Death Is The Enemy" will change a lot of things in Westeros.

Christmas came 5 days early! Episode 6 just leaked in 1080p, pristine as f**k quality! Matching the leaked scripted with the leaked episode.

Will be livestreaming it on my own social media account as well in 10minutes! The Free Folks live free and leak hard, NEVER BEND THE KNEE!



EDIT: Just finished livestreaming the episode. Everything.....EVERYTHING on the leaked script and description is true. The last scene in leaked Episode 6.



Next week, The Wall shall fall.....maybe even earlier than Sunday next week if we get another leaked episode!

EDIT 2: And also coming next week, #BOATSEX . It was so close this episode, you can almost taste it.

It's the same thing when it comes to a show you love and the incredulity in your mind when everyone else say they not interested in watching it.

Buuuuuuuuuut, when 91 million downloads (the number of downloads outside of legal HBO means alone) and millions of others subscribed to HBO does, and you didn't, well.......you know where I'm going from there.

No peer-pressure to conform or be part of something just because everyone else does, God knows how much I hate that. I resisted playing online-based (team or solo)multiplayer MOBA games like DOTA2 and PUBG, so I know how you feel.

Only difference is, online multiplayer is stale in content and story, GOT isn't. If it's the gore that you're not into, how about nudity and sex? No? Manipulative sneaky outmanouvering politically or physically motivated? Also no? Or because the fantasy-based settings? You play DOTA2 or and of them clicky-clicky WOW or LoL? Also no? Don't like serious fantasy, only light-hearted fantasy like Harry Potter? Well.....once you get to know these GOT characters, some of them live and breath light-heartedness as their ONLY charm in their personalities, you just need to get to know them. Only watch anime/Chinese serials/Malaysian TV show contents regurgitated by Astro? I can't help you there. *shudder*

Cool!



Now who's hyped for the next Pokemon episode!!? /s

For a Kopitiam thread where everything goes, topics talked about gets more exclusive and narrower every time I read/look.
