/vr/ - Retro Games

The back

I also was able to pull this out of the cab as well. It's wired badly but I'm sure I can fix it.

>>4161431
Would loved to have found that just sitting in the trash wtf

>>4161741
Some here could say the same of you.

>>4161772
Thanks! I like to think there are a lot of people who would pick me up and love me if they found me sitting in the trash.

>>4161787
>sitting in the trash
You mean sitting on your porch?

>>4161426
I found a large opossum in the trash once. Made for a better meal than your coin door will. TVs are probably my number one trash find though.

Back in the day I found a Dance Dance Revolution PS1 disc in the grass in front of a Bob Evans. It still worked and I traded it for Mega Man Legends.

>>4161741
I live in a college town so things like this pop up every once in a while. I'm sure the reason why it hadn't been stripped before I got to it was because I was driving on a 1 way street when I saw it sitting on the curb behind a tree. If anyone had seen the cab going the other way it would have been gone.

>>4161809
>trinitron enclosed in a old wooden TV box
kek

>>4161873
Yeah, there are some interesting things that show up at thrift stores on the OSU campus. I used to cruise the curbs on the last day of classes but I haven't done that for at least 15 years I'd almost forgotten maybe I'll take it back up. It's funny that there was something like that in the middle of summer. Probably abandoned in a rental that's being cleaned up for fall. Were you driving the wrong way or just being especially observant?

>>4161809
Those trash bags actually have christmas decorations in them but you're right I should move them. Also probably hit it with the leaf blower.

>>4161809
Here's two more dusty ones in the garage with a tag bag full of books in the background waiting to be hauled up to the loft. I'm sure you can obsessively analyze the pic much more extensively though since you're collecting pics of my stuff. Amazing that I had that VS Unisystem marked down so cheap at my yard sale before I moved and no takers. I wouldn't sell it for that now that's for sure.

>>4161951
I'm not collecting anything of yours pal. Just that pic and the one of you playing D&D.

They make me chuckle when I'm feeling blue.

>>4161809
Why does the beast in that reflection not surprised me in the slightest.

>>4161975
The dust screen is made of plexiglass and has pretty big curvature towards the middle. I'm sure Anon can post the picture of me playing D&D so you can see that while I'm only moderately fat in also moderately bald.

>>4161885
>Wooden TV Box
Those were called "Console TV"s, if that isn't just appropriate as fuck

>>4161996
Sage and reminder to filter tripfags. No one cares what you look like.

>>4162006
This kind of behavior isn't going to make people warm up to you, baitposter, you faggot fuck.

>>4161934
Oh? Well then you'll be happy to know that I found the cab sitting on the curb on 4th street about 2 blocks from chittenden.

>>4161934
>Were you driving the wrong way or just being especially observant?

I'm just observant. I'm always on the look out for things on the ground and such. I've found neck knives, money, and jewelry.

>>4162006
Filtering out babbage gramps makes browsing /vr/ 1000x more enjoyable

>>4162006
>reminder to filter tripfags
>apparently doesn't filter them himself

>>4162070
Well I'll be damned. Guess I need to get back to my old habits.

>>4162073
Ground scoring is only really great where people get completely wasted

>>4162075
Imagine being such a hardcore Anon that you have such instant, exponential contempt just because someone chooses to have an identity on an image board.

>>4162089
Baitposter is just pissed the jannies have taken down six of the dozen (You)-whoring baitposts he's posted today alone.
Being nasty to tripfags isn't going to make bait legal on this board, baitposter.

>>4161426
I found a complete copy of Power Stone 2 for $3. It was so worth getting for my Dreamcast. That game sells for $80 or more on Ebay.

>>4162174
How many sports, kids and music games do you think you sorted through before you found that? I bet a thousand easy. Always feels like such a payoff though.

>>4162075
>>4162139
>>4162089
Unnecessary tripfagging is discouraged for a several reasons. Not least of which is that it comes across as attention whoring (it usually is, don't front) and invariably leads to bullshit, intended or not. Also a major point of everyone being anonymous is that you're less apt to judge the poster instead of the post. There are plenty of regular forums if you want drama queens and a post count.
Of course if tripfags bother you so much you can't deal, they make themselves trivial to filter.

>>4162174
Nice.

>>4162089
Now is a great time for it. Lots of people graduating and moving out. I'd go looking through the dumpsters they leave on the streets but I'm afraid of getting bed bugs.

Craigslist is also good this type of year for the same reason. Everyone wants to get rid of their shit so they don't have to move it out.

>>4162193
Isn't OSU's final day like at the very beginning of spring? This is more like move-in time I think. I may be wrong though.

>>4162207
No it is, but people are leaving near the end of summer. I assume its because all the people who are graduating have did their last huzzah and drank their final college summer away. Then the property owners are doing their repairs and such to get ready for the real move in time, the fall. That's when all the good rentals hit the market.

I found a Gamecube with all the cables, and a controller in the box with SSX Tricky for $5 @ goodwill

One of my better ones. Right place, right time kinda deal.

>>4162229
Is that a Honda?

Maybe you're the cancer?

>posts about a tripfag he apparently has blacklisted
How do you know he's even posting? Why do you even care then you blacklisted him?
That's the whole point of a blacklist.

>>4162089
I like you faggot, you're okay

>>4162185
We know. But there's nothing much you can do.
You either blacklist, what is easy because they have a name and/or trip, ignore them or just live with it.
Bitching won't make you any better.

>Of course if tripfags bother you so much you can't deal, they make themselves trivial to filter.
One of the better features of 4chanx. It lets me filter ALL tripfaggots with a single regex. If you want, you can even automatically filter anyone who replies to them as well. Fuck knows they're never going to say anything useful, insightful, or intelligent. They wouldn't be attention whoring on an anonymous imageboard if they had anything of value to say.

>>4161787
contradictory, sign clearly indicates that just the tip is not enough for him

>>4162251
Thanks, Anon. You're okay too.

>>4161815

>Eating an opossum

What the actual fuck

>>4162089

>An identity on an Anonymous image board

That's the objective issue

>>4163658
My grandpa always said that opossums were full of parasites but he kept a revolver in his glove compartment for shooting groundhogs out the car window (often across my grandma in the passenger seat) he liked eating them so much but that's probably more of a /k/ or /o/ story. Apparently you stew them until all the fat melts out of the meat then roll it in flour and spices and fry it... But that's more a /ck/ story

>>4163662
Tripfags have always been a part of chan culture. If it wasn't cool, we'd have forced anon or thread specific trips and heavens. I don't tripfag on any of the aforementioned boards or elsewhere but /vr/ was really undeniably going in a direction I didn't like so I made the sacrifice.

>>4163862
>/vr/ was really undeniably going in a direction I didn't like so I made the sacrifice

Yeah, thanks for shitting it up even more and making just about every thread you participate in degenerate into a meta shitflinging contest regarding the legitimacy of persistent identities.

Real good of you.

>>4164102
So post on topic then or at least sage if your post is off topic. I'll never understand people who complain about what they're doing literally as they're doing it. I'm not your dad I'm not going to be disappointed in you if you don't shitpost.

I honestly can't think of anything I've ever found in people's trash that's video game related I just am super jealous of OP's tankstick as I've recently been putting serious thought into my mame cab and I might build one from scratch rather than converting the sente IF I had a cheap 6 or 8 button control panel versus drilling holes and wiring looms

We did used to throw away all kinds of great shit at Babbage's though. Not games, they went to that warehouse where they've sat all this time waiting to become retro, but tons of toys and paper goods plus quite a bit of imports, accessories and computer software. They still do it to this day but the definition of "field destruction" seems to have been tightened up a bit. Dumpsters have crushers built into them now.

I used to collect Dreamcast games back before ordering online was the norm. The EB Games at my local mall had two of the nicest guys ever working there. One was also a bit of a Dreamcast collector and decided to part with his copy of Shenmue II. I swiped it up faster than I could blink. The same guy also gave me his Gameshark CD/Memory card so I could boot it. He later sold me his black sports edition Dreamcast when mine crapped out. I miss that store.

In the same town there is a mom and pop electronics store that tried their best to liquidate their PC selection. I was able to pickup a perfect boxed copy of Die by the Sword for next to nothing. It even had the collectable pen-necklace in the box.

>>4163662
It's not anonymous, if that were the case it would be forced-anon.
You have the option not to put a name if you don't want.
We as users, as a subculture, decide socially that we prefer not to go with names, for the freedom it gives us in expression.
That's voluntary.
If some other people want to do something differently, say, have names, well that's just their fucking business, isn't it?
You have the right to not like them, but you don't have any right to force them to stop using a name.
If anything, by using a name it makes it easier to ignore them.
So try that: you worry about your own shitty behavior, and leave other people alone.

>>4164472
Tripcodes are meant to be throw away labels. You're supposed to use them for one thread and then no more. Tripfags misuse tripcodes to attention whore and cause drama.

>>4164921

That sounds like some serious memery, sir.
Tripcodes are pseudo-registration, if you want to maintain an identity, anything else is just cultural bullshit as arbitrary as any other bunch of bunk.

I'm willing to bet it's using the chinese stock parts which die out within three months of heavy use. You will want to install either Suzo Happ or Industrias Lorenzo parts ASAP. Went with iL for my setup and haven't had dead or flat buttons in the couple of years that I've owned it. For this shell, avoid parts that follow the Japanese standard like Sanwas because then you'd have to rape it with a dremmel just so they fit.

>well-priced Dreamcast with 2 controllers, 2 VMUs
>no idea which revision
>tfw a week of nervously anticipating the moment that I can check the circle

>>4165163
What price, anon?

>>4164921
Some boards have forced thread specific IDs and those boards also usually have no name fields so no trips. See >>>/soc/.

The reason I started tripfagging is because of the ever-increasing proportion of ignorant shitposters literally killing the board with idiotic, unrepentant flat out wrong posts. These are exactly the kind of people who act like anonymity is some kind of sacred right and if it seems like drama when they engage me it's still better than the degenerate generalized shitposting they would no doubt be doing otherwise.

>>4164942
>tanksticks are happ-format
Damn, yet another reason for me to want one.

>>4165662
And thanks for tripping up because it makes it easier to spot at least one out of those ever-increasing proportion of ignorant shitposters literally killing the board with idiotic, unrepentant flat out wrong posts

>>4166769
(you)

>>4161426
Found this at a antique store under some clothes. Got it for $60.

>>4165662
Cabbage, you are one of my favorite tripfags.

>>4165662
Shit man you're actually ok.

Filtered.

>>4168141
woah that's fucking awesome, how tall is it?

>>4161809
>still namefagging

>>4168535
Its like 48" tall. Got a few scuffs but nothing more. I asked where they got it from and they said some guy brought in 2 Mario ones and Fox. They think he used to work for Nintendo because they remember he used to be in the gaming industry a while back.

They said they forgot they still had it and didn't have a price tag on it so I just shot for a $60 and it was mine.

>>4168595
Really neat, cool story too. I would absolutely snag something like that if I stumbled across one.

>>4168535
>how many holes does it have?

>>4161958
Sounds like someone has a crush~

>>4168705
Not at all what I was getting at, I just couldn't immediately tell if it was like, a toy or a merchandising statue from the picture. Jesus.

>>4168731
I think the furfag doth protest too much. You realize this is 4chan, don't you?

>>4169530
I just don't take kindly to the furfag insinuation, just thought it was a cool thing. Yeah, I know this is 4chan.

>>4168705
>>4168731
>>4169549
OP of the statue. I knew there was going to be "furfag incoming" which is a shame because star fox is my shit and I'm not even a furry. I figured the overall idea of a rare promo statue would be cool to discuss.

>>4169682
Agreed completely, anon. It's really fucking cool. I wonder where the Mario one ended up.

>>4169549

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Cool big figurine bro. I've got a storm trooper but whatever floats your boat.
