Human beings are so fucking weird. No matter what you cherish.. If it's a fucking rock and someone notices you fucking LOVE that rock. They'll do whatever it takes to take that rock from you regardless of what that object is. Why do humans do this? I don't get it at all.

Basic conservative nature to fuck over each other.
As long it would trigger dumpfags and piratefags
Fuck them and their preservation crap
Well, it was cancelled because it was really bad, so as a player it's no real loss.
But still, fuck that guy.
To have leverage over you.
Other people don't deserve happiness.
Absolutely based. Fuck people who give a fuck about vaporware just because it's retroshit. The game was probably garbage anyway.
Fucking based. The highest joy is only attained through the suffering of others
>inb4 he chargebacks the money and it was all a jest
If I was loaded as fuck I'd buy rare ass video games and then get someone to dump the ROM info and put them on the net. I'm a big time advocate of digital preservation and history for software and video games.
Doesn't matter since the dude got super paranoid after all those arcade machine collectors got their shit stolen by some rouge repairman.

no there is no upside for me. it doesn't benefit my group and i don't personal gain any satisfaction from it. waste of resources
because its funny
especially when they can't do shit to get back at you
That's basically what these guys do. It's like 3 semi rich guys and a dumper, they take donations and use it to fund purchases on yahoo jp and other jap auction sites, where assloads of prototypes and incredibly obscure games end up a lot of the time. but japs are retarded cunts and buy these games then pretend they're defeating the west or something when they're just ensuring no one will ever remember the game, instead of it maybe becoming some sort of meme cult classic.
You are a big time advocate.
Are these the same person?
Also based. Tired of these shit sites like HentaiHaven that only exist to be memes that dont fucking do anything other than upload the same shit literally every other site has rather than try do something good for the community. Dumb fucker who owned HentaiHaven wanted to make it a payed subscription service too
>they can't do shit to get back at you
you really think autists won't backtrace him, storm his property, rape his dog in front of him while forcing him to watch and then taking the game?
Nigga the dude got doxxed, which was the morally correct thing to do.

it is kind of funny

Nah some dude was gonna swat him essentially.
>morally correct thing to do.
It's their choice in the end, I think they just do it for the wrong reasons. If you really want the game, good on you. If you're buying it out of spite, that's just retarded. Even more retarded than spending $15,000 on something you're going to just give away.
>yfw this happens again

It's pretty based.
We all have the ability to shape the world we live in. Guess those fags should have bid more if they really wanted it.
So basically nothing. No one can do anything to him without either being just as bad or going to jail. And even if they do harass him to the point of giving them the game people will just hate the fucker who wanted it originally and not play it.
>the old fucker that bought it out of spite is gonna croak and its gonna end up in a dumpster
It's what happened with pokemon gold beta, except some western piggu managed to dump it after collecting it from the dead jap

By this mentality, you yourself shouldn't be receiving of it either. Or maybe it's that you don't receive happiness so you vent your bitterness on to everyone else. What makes you unhappy user?
So now he gets to milk his prostate AND enjoy owning a game that nobody else can ever play/image.
Wow. Checkmate.
What was that story a little while ago about the guy who copied a really rare arcade rom while servicing the cabinet?
Oh no, we'll never be able to play some crappy half finished NES game that was long forgotten for a reason, what a tragedy
i doubt you could cough up 15k for a down payment, let alone to get yourself doxed and live with the threat of some neet stabbing you 50 times
probably coughing up 60 for a game you want to play is a big ask
he had to spend $15,010 to stop other people from playing it. so the real question is whether you'd contribute to a $15,000 fund (the dumper's apparent max) to play unfinished garbage from 30 years ago
find something worthwhile to care about and spend $15k on that. games have rotted your brain.
The dude was alright.
The game only has value because nobody can play it so keeping it unplayable is a correct choice.
The moment it becomes widely available everybody stops caring.
You cant be pleasured via your prostate.
That's why you're not loaded.
this should be a fucking banner on Yea Forums
No you idi*t he'll get the mailman to give him the box and say "hmm I wonder what this is" and he'll open it and pull out the big dildo and the mailman will laugh as will all his neighbors.

It's like what, maybe 20-30 games that are lost and only a few people actually own it? Who give a fucking shit?
This group claims it's about the historical archiving aspect of it. I'm more interested in if these games COULD be good.
I'm waiting for the day a youtuber buys this shit just to make a video about an exclusive nintendo game only he has. I bet the asspain and salt would single handedly give him the ad revenue to pay for 8 more.

>"I SPENT A SMALL FORTUNE ON A GAME TO PRESERVE MY CULTURE!"
I'm 100% sure that the games these idiots are hoarding to themselves aren't even remotely fucking close to being worth these obscene amounts of money.
Let them fucking keep them. Nobody is missing out on anything substantial by not getting to play these games.
I'm all for emulation, but yes, I would absolutely do something this petty and spiteful for shits and giggles if I were a wealthy person.
People are actually getting upset over this, right? I mean, wouldn't it be kind of disappointing to spend all that money on something just to find out that nobody really cares?
No one but those guys who wanted it will be upset for any longer than the 3 hours this thread will be alive. I will be legitimately surprised if people remember this game's name in a week.
I don't think you knowse that vaporware means my friendo
This, both sides are fucking idiots. It's one game that only a few people actually give two shits about. Just use that 15k to maintain your site or some shit.
I hope no one freaks out in the future over fucking github games that a college student made in his free time.

When you're right, you're right user. I hope that Japanese idiot is enjoying having sex with his cartridge.
Can confirm exactly this at a recent outing kids were playing and one found a rock. Another kid just couldn't help themselves but take it from them, wtf man.
You know what's real funny? I could open up Unity right now, slam down a coffee, and make a better game in two hours than the one this decrepit jap paid 1.5M yen for. I just think that's pretty funny.
Sociopaths aren't the majority of human beings. They only just so happens to be the one in power in many cases since the system we use rewards sociopaths.

The only reason I was interested in this was because of the supposed tones it had that most mags compared to mother 1. Oh well.
Which most people grow out of by high school. There are always outliers of course. Also in later life, people who rise to positions of power have a tendency to become corrupted sooner or later, reverting to this and other childish notions.
I wish i have all that power to do whatever the fuck I want and noone can stop me.
The winner is alpha as fuck for throwing away all that money and taunting him about it by being a sore winner.
dumb smug poster
psychopathy, meaning lack of empathy

>all the people in this thread talking about buying the game to piss people off
if you fags really wanted to make people upset then you'd buy it and then film yourself destroying it in a creative manner. there is nothing more spitefully based than destroying a priceless piece of rare garbage and then boasting about it on the internet.
Cope
empathy is the capacity to understand someone else's feelings from their own perspective, it does not mean that you act in a manner that optimizes their wellbeing
>Would you spend $15,000 on a game...
No, because I'm not a fucking retard.
Pretty based in all honesty.
The absolute madman. I would probably do the same if I could throw $15000 away like nothing just to piss some incel virgins addicted to fucking video games off.
lol $15k is probably more than the budget for that fucking game. It's a shitty Dragon's Quest ripoff. Collectorfags have a hoarder mentality that's a serious mental illness.
>protect it as a japanese treasure

It's not psychopathy nor is it sociopathy. It's core human nature. Seeing someone outside of your own tribe or group in possession of a thing you lack makes you instinctively want to take that thing. And if for some reason you cannot take that thing from them, you want to destroy it so that no one can have it, rather than let the other have that thing and whatever advantages it confers.

Good for him, I dream of being able to cause that much butthurt with my disposable income.
Copied from/pol
I know bud. The thing you're talking about is something extremely typical, that can be a nearly daily occurrence if you're actually walking around out in public with a "10/10 girl".
It's gorilla bullshit. Caveman bullshit. It's animalistic. Who the fuck wants to deal with that shit? And if you're sensible and reasoning able it, "you lose".
The guy who gave his drumsticks was clearly making a move on your girl. In doing so, he was making a primitive, animalistic challenge to you. By walking right up to the table and doing that in front of your face, he was challenging you. He knew 100% what he was doing. In his mind, he was degrading you by proving to your girl that you're too "unmanly" or whatever to stand up and slug him or whatever.
And the part of it that ruins everything is that instead of seeing this spectacle as the absolute meaningless, garbage, national geographic mating ritual that it is, your girl who you are supposed to love and cherish and be loyal to, and see as a "friend" and "partner" actually sees it the same way as the drumstick guy.
Even if she doesn't admit it, or consciously recognize it, later that night she'll give you shit cuz in her mind some primitive boolean computer programming switch was flipped that says "My boyfriend = weak".
And on a long enough timescale, your relationship will just disintegrate with her no matter what, because she will lose respect for you.
She will lose respect for you because you're NOT playing that fucking primitive animalistic game.
And who the fuck WANTS to do that? Who the fuck WANTS to stand up and slug every fucking dumb retard who "infringes on your territory" or "insults you" or whatever the thing is. Who the fuck WANTS to be dragged down to that level? Who the fuck WANTS to live their lives in that kind of gross existential neurosis about what tiny little thing the woman who is supposed to be their "partner and confidant" is going to judge them as "weak and unworthy" for?
Nice try, but this thread and this says otherwise.
Epic spends millions to do so.
Based nipbro, btfoing piratefags
You will NEVER play that game now or ever, how does it make you PARASITES feel?
As long as there are two humans on the planet there will always be conflict.
Wait, then what were the donations for?
Did those donators really donate money so a collector can hoard a game as opposed to a different collector? Did I get this right?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHA Oh my fucking god.
I was thinking the jap was an idiot for wasting money but now i'm happy he did it.
>spend 15k so that once in a blue moon someone will make a thread on Yea Forums about you
and people actually believe that money can't buy happiness
Every time someone tries to do this shit on my watch i just interrupt the guy and say "and before that i came inside her".
This makes them quit quite fast.

it makes me want to go to japan and have sex with japanese women FOR FREE LOL!
>>Did those donators really donate money so a collector can hoard a game as opposed to a different collector? Did I get this right?
Yes. That's exactly what it is, if they were lucky they might've got some screenshots. Byuu makes a big song and dance about being "for the people", but in reality he's just using them to generate enough money to buy shit for his own meaningless collection, with the endless promise that maybe one day he might release something to a non-profit museum so you could play it for 5 minutes if you paid the entry fee and flew to a different country.
I would because gamers are entitled manbabies and I find it funny to deny them a chance to play a not even finished video game.
I don't get it
He doesn't owe piratefags like you anything
you gave him your neetbux/mom's money knowing full well you would get zero returns out of it
deal with it you parasitic trash, you deserve NOTHING
What? Story?
Wait what the fuck? LMAO those who donate them are even bigger retards then all the retards in the universe aside from them put together.
So they really are donating money so this guy could get the game for himself and NOT release the rom for anybody? Why would they donate then, are they really this stupid?
How do I get these stupid people to donate to me instead? This should be the real topic here.
It's not a matter of money they don't want to talk to gaijins
Companies tried to publish uncensored Taimanin Asagi before the last one being the dudes that dubbed that succubus hentai with the red haired girl but they won't answer to any e-mails

Absolutely insected and colonypilled
ahh yes the usual "fuck the fans" mentality.
And in this case, the holy war is to get a game in his collection that nobody could play just as in the current case when it got to a no name Jap collector's collection.
I gotta hand it to the man, he is a fucking genius. He should be a cult leader, that's some next level manipulation shit.
heeb
Was it even a good game?
So nobody would be playing the game even if this guy managed to get it instead of the Japanese collector?
What is this outrage about then?
How would anyone know? You'll never get a chance to play it.

If you're outraged about this, what if someone put the statue of liberty up for auction and someone wanted to buy it just to dismantle it? Wouldn't you spend more money than that person to preserve it?
So, not moral
People who share a similar hobby are often competing against one another for dominance. It should be of no surprise to anyone that the few people influential enough in the HARDCORE RETRO VIDEOGAME COLLECTING world to afford exceptionally rare games would do anything to one-up one another just to prove that they can.
>guy gets free pizza
They do, they just say they don't to cover their asses legally.
They say that they'll never EVER release a dump for something, then once everyone forgets about it they throw it on some random ROM site.
so bullying and social engineering, which arent morally correct
you parasites were just made someone denied you
""""your"""" game and proceed to try and harass the guy irl because of how assblasted and seething you are
don't try and pretend you have any sort of moral high ground or justification, you are just a bunch entitled, manchild assblasted PARASITES mad you didn't get a new game to pirate. Kill your fucking selves.
most people don't take video games seriously as art--including even firms that made games and didn't preserve things like original assets or source code--so you are left mostly with autistic private collectors, who will eventually die and by then there might be more effort to get their collections into some museum
I'm interested in what the original poster was responding to. Who is the drumstick guy and what did he do?
Ah, psychopathic behavior to punish sociopathic behavior.

he's just another hoarder like everyone else who uses the angle of 'preservation' to fleece dumbfuck piratefag parasites into funding his acquisitions, and even after the umpteenth time of the thing they forked money to help him get never materializing for them they still do it

It'll likely burn up in a house fire somewhere. People think that they're 'preserving' this shit but putting it on a shelf in their game room are absolutely retarded. If it's not in a vault somewhere that's floor and fire proof, all you're doing is putting all those delicate eggs in 1 basket. There are legit organizations for preservation of these items that use vaults. Find one. They will even let you maintain ownership and simply rent shelf space.
Why are you even surprised? There's people who donates to twitch's sluts to cure their "depression"
I dont plead to psychopaths, its kind of pointless
Scarcity and exclusivity are sources of value. A item that nobody else has access to but people want has an air of mystique around it that automatically increases the price.

You've never been to a trade show like MGC then. It doesn't matter if the ROM is available. Collectors want to own the physical copy. Having the ROM doesn't count as having it in your collection so the ROM existing doesn't change the value of the physical cartridge if the physical cartridge is hard to obtain.

Oh for fuck sakes. All of these people chiming in with their 1 semester of college psychology class knowledge. It's all about power, status, and that "feeling" of being special. We are in a world of everyone thinking everyone else is a loser, so they try to one up each other to be the better loser.
Cope

And Dilate
The takeaway from this should be that you can always find a new girl, not that you try to beat random dudes who don't even know what you're thinking.
The existence of a ROM not only devalues the game because people can play it and realise it's trash, but it also creates the possibility that you can be scammed with just a reprogrammed board.
You're a fucking despicable subhuman if you think anybody owes you or the "locals" a damn thing lol. I highly doubt you know anything of their interests, you just are reinforcing your little imaginary world where you are never wrong and the people who have what you want dont deserve it somehow.

You have to disregard emotion in order to preserve civilization. An ideal ruling party would be about 80% logic/20% empathy. Trying to govern with feelings has never worked. Every failed civilization in history has imploded shortly after they went from building an empire to trying to make everyone happy and forgot to maintain the business side of things.

I had an alpha Black Lotus, first edition foil charizard, and other cards that are worth loads of money now, but mom gave away most of my trading cards because 'they were just sitting in my closet gathering dust' (which wasn't true, the same binder I kept my Black Lotus in was frequently used and held most of my frequently played MTG cards (more out of laziness than anything, the black lotus was in the same page of the binder that it sat in since I pulled it since it was one of my first good cards and I just never got around to moving it to my collection binder.) and I was constantly using the pokemon cards (since this was before they banned taking them to school).
alpha Black Lotus is easily 90k+ if it's in pristine condition (which mine was, I never actually used Black Lotus in play until it got a reprint) and first edition foil charizard in good condition is less but still more than 10k
I also had a shitton of misprints and the weird defects that go for a lot now, I just seemed to have the weirdest luck getting the 'botched' cards

Martin Shkreli didn't just buy "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" simply to have the physical copy, he bought it so no one else can listen to it and did not release it publicly. Releasing the tracks would make the album much less valuable.
oh we have some pathetic pieces of shit here defending him.
just look at this guy
I want a copy of Chu-Teng. I don't care if it's been dumped online, Chu-Teng would be a great find for me.
>maniac control freaks! I deserve it not them!
>their life is so pathetic, now watch as I cry about not having something, and instead of doing something to get it I will bitch about those that do!
It doesn't matter if it's garbage it not. If only a handful of copies exist, collectors will still pay top dollar to own one of those copies. You don't understand collector mentality at all. Good or not, and whether or not the ROM is available has no effect on the value.
As far as the potential for fakes goes, it only changes things if it is possible to create a completely indistinguishable forgery which, considering there are groups who dedicate themselves to autistically pouring over every little detail to determine fake from real, it's extremely unlikely to happen. Collectors also don't fuck around, especially when it comes to extremely rare big ticket items. They often demand proof of authenticity up front. It's fine if you don't understand collector mentality and you think it's a stupid hobby but that's not the point I am trying to make. The point is that is simply not the way collectors work. They don't care if the ROM exists or if the game actually sucks. It doesn't change what they are willing to pay for it. The fact that the physical copy is rare is the entire appeal to them.

I know this is kind of off-topic, but I picked up an egg-shaped rock as a kid and it's still my most prized possession. I used to pretend it was a dragon egg when I was 3-4, and now I'm 27 and still keep it in an honorary place on my desk. It's not just games, in real life too, you can make your own fun.
>unironic cucklogic
>this is what cucks actually believe
Its a fucking cancelled nes game who fucking cared almost every nee game sucks cock
Am I missing something? Did he actually do anything wrong here or are people just bitching about "muh preservation, it belongs to us even though we didnt pay for it"?
Why the fuck does this keep fucking happening? Several years ago a friend of mine had his only computer, along with everything he's ever stashed away in his hard drive, sold by his retard mom for taking up space.
Lemme guess, she also kept the money?
I feel like I'd have handled things differently if it happened to me, but realistically what are you gonna do, sue your own loving mother?
Damnit I'm mad too now
I can't comprehend your mental gymnastics and layers of irony
That guy is holding onto a collectors scene that is on life support, and he can't let go
He was the king of rarities, then dumps came, and he went back to being a peasant
Good for him
This is his last straw at being relevant, and instead of giving back to the community, he will probably be buried with his treasure
Tick tock tick tock
Everyone in here is just a bunch of communists that think all information should be free.
I want it.
You don't know how data works, do you?
People here aren't mad they don't have the physical ROM, they want it copied.
For more information, look up the word "copy" on your local dictionary
I'd leave it to you if I died, user. But first I've gotta put it up more girl's pussies and make them give birth to it as if it's an egg.
Then they should've paid more shouldnt they?
Blah blah blah sounds like you're just seething to me. His purchase his right
I'm taking it.
Then it is me who plays with girl pussies.
If I ever got the mother 3 64 beta cartridge I would hot glue it after proving it's real, upload it to pornhub under q milf tag.
I have a extremely rare prototype of my shitty NES game on my harddrive and it's so rare nobody else has ever seen it
Thats not true. Ive had literal cucks let me fuck their girlfriends. Cucks are weird man.
true, but it's not like I had hyperhydrosis, or overly greasy hands, and the card at best got handled for about 2 seconds and only by its sides before going into the sleeve where it remained until it was sold by my dumbass mom.
And even then, it's still an absurd amount of fucking money for a single card. Even lightly played ones have gone for huge bucks.
That's just the info about the ROM. Yes this is the preservation we're talking about most of the time with these collector fucks.
i will give you 15k upvotes for this masterpiece
Theres a easy wayto circumvent this primitive instinct. Get a gay daddy bear. That way they want to nurture you and the weaker you are the more they want to nurture you.
Since rocks will never be discussed here again, I want to mention my favorite rock too.
It's a smooth, reddish brown river rock I found in elementary school. I kept it in my pocket for good luck.
That year my grades tanked and never returned, then my dad fell and ruined his back, costing him his job and starting him down an endless, hellish employment cycle.
I gifted the rock to my grandma after she was forced into a nursing home. She died a month later, at which point the rock was returned to me.
Now I assume the rock gives bad luck and just keep it on my windowsill, where it now has killed at least a dozen of my turtle's $25 aquatic heat bulbs prematurely.
I want someone else to have this evil rock.

also an unopened can of Vault
she did keep the money, and I don't know how much she sold it for, she wouldn't tell me. Must have been a bit but nowhere near the worth of the actual cards contained in it, because that year's trip to Disneyland which we did literally every year around that time we ended up staying the whole week instead of 3 days.
Lot of people love rock, people struggle for rock, other people dont care about rock.
State of nature, i cant see something strange about it.

Ok, and by that same reasoning him getting doxxed was his fault because he signed up for it, right?

I dont think the auction was for a rare NES game with limited edition doxxing. Thats the fault of entitled autists who want something but dont want to pay for it.
Did you steal that fucking rock from Hawaii or some shit?

no it's his fault for being the kind of person that people would have an interest in finding out more information about
I see this occur a lot over my love of Kass. I love Kass!
I really think this is a case-by-case basis. You're assuming alot. That guy may have simply looked around for any given fan and thought 'hey, she's cute, why not' and then forgot about it 5 seconds later. That's what I would do. Only an insecure faggot tries to frame everything as alpha-this and beta-that. Normal people that are fine with who they are don't always assume their women are under siege from all sides.
>it's the guys fault the random psychopath stabbed him in the middle of the street
I would buy $15,000 of LINK instead
yeah you better give madam pele her rock back or it's bad luck until the end of days for you, my haole friend.
They should focus their effort on modern games.
There was even a twitch stream of this, seems to have gone missing now though.
a lot of girls are into that though
It is not his fault that people are immature sociopaths.
yes. those "muh history value" faggots deserve teh rope, nobody need to replay those shitty shovelwares that got forgotten and didn't sold for a reason. keeping humanity in the past only prevent creativity. Shit is so bad nobody can even do scifi that isn't "an homage" to an old IP
more definitive proof on a daily basis that buycucks are mentally ill
yes it is
How is it his fault that autists doxxed him for buying a game? Pretty sure that wouldnt hold up in court

The "HD" audio files of Igiulamam's YTPMVs.
She used to have download links to all the backing tracks in the descriptions and I used to have them all but then my mp3 player shit itself AND my harddrive soon followed.
Now those have become lost media because:
a) Youtube removed her account
b) All the download links now lead to dead sites anyways
Now only grainy and compressed reuploads of ancient, low quality, youtube rips remain.

It doesn't matter what game it us, the situation is the same. He bought it, it's his, and you entitled fags are harassing him over his legal purchase.
>And who the fuck WANTS to do that? Who the fuck WANTS to stand up and slug every fucking dumb retard who "infringes on your territory" or "insults you" or whatever the thing is. Who the fuck WANTS to be dragged down to that level? Who the fuck WANTS to live their lives in that kind of gross existential neurosis about what tiny little thing the woman who is supposed to be their "partner and confidant" is going to judge them as "weak and unworthy" for?
Unironically simple and logical answer: the non-"weak" actual man. If you're not strong enough to impose yourself upon others you will lose everything. That's the way of the world. Human civilization just added more variables and ways of coercing that value from others but it's the same game.
If all you can think of in your limited imagination is "stand up" "slug him" "whatever" or "whatever" "unmanly" then clearly you're pathetic and she must leave you.
Also you're equating a "10/10 girl" with a "rock". A 10/10 girl isn't just show, she's as a big an animal as you are, if you are one.
If you think you're exempt from any of this, might as well put a bullet in your brain right now. Nobody will ever give a shit about you and your idea of love is what you were sold.

I worked at Babbages in a mall in Memphis around the end of the 90s when pokemon first came out. Babbages is a distant root of GameStop. EB Games -- that 'B' stands for Babbage. It's a dude's name. I forget what the 'E' stood for and too lazy to look it up.
Anyway, I remember a little kid coming in and buying a bunch of packs and opening them on the floor of the store. Lots of kids buying them. So I'm like, hey, I'll get a box for my little brother's birthday. So I bought a box of the 1st edition base card booster packs. Factory wrapped. Gave it to my little brother. He liked cards and collected baseball cards, too, and he said that's exactly what he's going to do. He said you never touch a first edition. Whatever. It was less than $50 for me so I didn't care.
Late 2018, his girlfriend had his home robbed by her friends. She set up everything up. That single pokemon box was worth about $200,000. More than all his baseball and football cards combined, easily. It was in a $5,000 fireproof safe that was bolted to the walls and floors with the most valuable stuff meticulously photographed and cataloged and insured. She had set up a hidden camera to get the combination.
She's in prison now, along with everyone involved because the value of those Pokemon cards made stealing them a 5th degree felony. And he will never know what cards were in that box. But he did get a $480,000 insurance payout.
like pic.
I just spent ten minutes searching for it. It's gone, and the only place it could've fallen is into my turtle's aquarium anong hundreds of other river rocks.
I'll fish it out tomorrow and hope the prolonged exposure to the evil rock doesn't kill her.
Took it from a river I visited in Texas. Fucking river spirits, I live too far from Texas to return it!
buying the cart and maintaining it is software preservation
Goddamn man
No... Baby boomers happened because they fucked like rabbits after WWII and Japan got nukes twice...
Theres so many old people that they are very stuck in their ways and retardedly traditional tho
What a piece of shit, hope your brother is doing fine now.
Money belongs to women, she did nothing wrong.
>he will never know what cards were in that box. But he did get a $480,000 insurance payout.
Best of all he got that bitch in jail. Absolutely based.

>parroting quotes meant to keep people divided
total and complete peace is achievable, even moreso on a small scale, people just need to be a little more educated and able to think for themselves compared to you.
Well the insurance payout after all the items tallied together was over a million (not sure of exact amount).So he's doing fine. I doubt he'll ever let a woman in his home again, though. And he said he would never start a new collection either.
He will sleep very well for many nights, smiling at the retard rage he has caused.
Worth every Yen.
I might do something but nothing pisses me off enough any more. I just laugh at it all or don't care. What's even worth doing nowadays? Certainly not revenge because someone won an auction.

You picked up a powerful river stone but you never tamed the river's "väki" that resides inside the stone so now the "väki" lash out and do mischief.
I have a similar story about a rock but it was given to me by a boy in elementary school that I still have fond memories of. It's a really pretty rock too, it's green stone (the name escapes me, I used to know the names of obscure ass minerals/stone types and it's just poofed out of my head over the years) and it's got tiny bands of some other green stone, but shiny running through one side of it. Probably not emerald, but could be agate or something? It's kind of dark and cloudy.
He gave it to me because he said it was green like my eyes, I involuntarily HNNNGH every time I recall the exchange because it was the sweetest shit ever
It was Charles Babbage ("father of the computer"). Both Babbages and EB Games existed at the same time but were somehow related. Maybe the same parent company. This was way too long ago for me to remember.
it's dox you retards
>I will always protect this cart a few years from degrading away forever
no thinking for themselves guarantees that they won't
you see, being able to accurately determine when it is advantageous for you to kill that guy is going to result in you killing that guy
have fun in this universe friend
>none of them got life sentences
its a clown world
Yes if it would make r/emulation seethe
It's complicated. EB and (what was to become) Babbages Etc/Software Etc both put in bids on NeoStar and the judge in NeoStar's bankruptcy case gave it to Babbages because their long term plan would keep more stores open/people employed. EB eventually merged into Babbages (now called Gamestop) in the mid 2000's.
>implying anyone cares about preserving a shit game
>that retard spent 15k bucks on literal SHIT
The joke's on him
It is but doxxed is correct, not doxed. Maybe dox'd.

So racism kept this from being put online. Huh.
All people involved in this are retarded.
Donating was retarded, spending 15k was retarded. The OP of the tweet is retarded, and this entire thread is retarded.
Thanks capitalism.
Life sentences are barbaric. Either someone's done a crime they can be released after 5 years for, or kill them. Anything beyond that is pointless.

That's a bit relieving, at least he didn't get cucked
Imagine the salt that a group who took donations among everything else just to acquire a game got beat out by a random Japanese man with so much money to spend that he outbids you, rubs salt in the would and most likely just took the cart and tossed it in the garbage for a laugh right before counting his Weebux.

>I will protect it as a Japanese treasure
Imagine being so pathetic that some unfinished FC prototype is a "Japanese treasure" for you. Too poor to own an actual historical relic, but instead of admitting that, you delude yourself into believing this shit.
I imagine this cartridge has already rotted away.
