/vr/ - Retro Games

>>10016913
Ah, don't mind my words since I do not proofread before hitting post. My last post seemed way more aggressive than the jovial/facetious intention. Anyway, I am definitely not in a stable financial situation, but I am so blessed to have played some games I truly enjoyed and finding so many great bargains which I have kept from back then. It does seem like a lot, but just showing one thing here and there does make it seem like a ton; I get it.

That's not Evangelion. Besides, I don't have that, had no idea of it and only played the mainline first and third titles briefly.

Before there was a /vr/, I originated from /h/. It was a long time ago.

It is pretty much as you remember, just a digital artbook on CD-ROM by Gainax. I did not get that one, but it was advertised in the pamphlets inside their other releases. I even remember it on their website too.

Yeah, the lack of copyright in China is rampant but they look cool to me. They just slightly alter character designs and they become not-Pokemon and not-Cyberpunk:

It is fan fiction from an official source. The endings are happy as it is written as if it slots right into the TV series. It isn't cannon, but they sure give Mana all the appeal worth remembering.

It is unsubstantiated, just what I heard or read somewhere. At this point it's just be conjecture, but such large torrent sites would find difficulty in legal proceedings so it is plausible. It is the same reason why I came to my senses about dumping some old data, as I do not have the financial means to deal with litigation.

If you like Smash, try Battle Orchestra for PS2. It is cheap but pretty good. It is like a generic Super Smash Bros.

I guess it is necessary to learn to solder and desolder if I intend on continued enjoyment of my games. I've avoided doing so because of my condition with shaky hands. There is no ventilation in my studio apartment aside from the small window at the sink, I do not feel comfortable doing such work on the sink, so are the fumes safe to breathe when soldering/desoldering?

Putting high heat to batteries, seems dangerous for a practice project. I was thinking of desoldering the MX blues off this keyboard and soldering on Sherbets, how challenging would it be for a first project?

After all the equipment Voultar lists, it looks like it runs over $150USD which is a lot of money especially just for practice. It is not just the iron, but there's the wires and wicks of different gauges too which will add to the cost. I really want to keep my stuff in working order, but even food prices has gone up in this pandemic, so throwing away material is money down the drain.

Got some new keycaps from China. I wanted to get the Analogue Pocket and brand new longboxes for SegaCD/Playstation/Saturn games, but I wouldn't have had the money, so I am glad they sold out quickly. I really like Operation C and I hope you get an NES as that is one of my top 5 favorite consoles.
