@frostclaws it's bugging me a little bit that you set your display name to canines when one of you is a canid but not a canine x33

it seriously has no advantage over just using regular old wire and indeed the signal sent over toslink out of a device that supports it is *exactly* the same as that sent over that orange RCA jack labelled "digital out" that's next to it

but optical fibre is Cool™

I appreciate toslink because it's an entire industry standard created purely because optical fiber is cool

why do region locks exist anyway

Good morning. First time fronting much in a few days. How has everyone been?

Lagoon would be a great game, the only problem is the entire story makes zero sense and the gameplay is bad and the music is mediocre at best and the visual style is bland as hell and so if you just change literally everything about it it'd be great

oof

feeling like i'm constantly fucking up talking to people today, three separate incidents in the span of like two hours

fun fact: when castlevania symphony of the night came out, several reviewers complained about it being too short

...they hadn't realized that killing Richter wasn't the true ending

How do they make those vinyl records with pictures on them anyway?

Goodnight, all.

a vectrex would be pretty neat to have, but they're not exactly cheap

i kinda wish people would CW things announcing that someone has passed away? x.x.x

thank you all for the offers of support, too. they're appreciated even if we really... can't respond right now

we also feel bad about feeling bad about this because there is much more significant stuff that is going on that by rights should be the thing that has us upset to this degree and yet it's this trivial thing that really has us upset
-F

probably not going to be able to reply to things about this for a while but they are appreciated

i don't know why this is hitting us so hard but it is definitely hitting us hard

harder than when we didn't get the job we were looking forward to, and that left us nonfunctional for days

i just

what do we even do about this

there's no phone number or anything and no info on this anywhere

we just. need to contact the company somehow i think

because it's a thing that their faqs can't answer

and we don't know what to do
and we need to do something
and there's nothing we can do
and it's just

we just can't

our parents were going to preorder us an analogue pocket as a graduation gift

we went through the preorder process and got to the bit where you pick a shipping option and then it just broke, shipping options wouldn't load

tried several more times in other browsers, even microsoft edge, and it didn't work

then we tried again in the original browser and it worked, but by then they had sold out of the main device and we were only going to be able to order the accessories

we've been looking forward to this for months

we did everything right, had the address and credit card ready to go, made sure the money was in the account and everything, disabled all types of ad block in case that got in the way

and because of a technical glitch on *their* end, we now can't get the thing we've been looking forward to getting for ages

this was the thing we had to look forward to instead of a valve index because we wanted one of those too but can't get one

now we can't get any of the things we were really wanting to get

and it just. i don't know, we feel terrible

and they barely have any contact information on their site, all they list is instagram (don't have one and will never get one), facebook (don't have one and will never get one), and twitter (don't have one and will never get one) and if you dig through their terms and conditions you can find a support email (sent an email that I hope we managed to word well...) and a physical mailing address but still no phone number

we've never really looked into it before but now we're kinda curious, what good games were there on the game gear?
