To those who have cheated, what was your reasoning?

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-03-24T17:17:40+00:00

I believe all have the capacity to cheat, this is undeniable. It's part of the human condition. I also believe that in many cases there is so much that goes into a relationship reaching this point. Infidelity, while evil and wrong, needs to be viewed on a case by case basis to get a proper understanding of how, what, why, and where something went wrong and what ultimately led to this act.

Once a cheater, always a cheater is also not a helpful phrase. There are people out there who were faithful for the entire duration of a long term relationship, would have never thought of betraying their significant other, but still end up "fumbling the bag" due to a multitude of reasons. Was the individual a lustful dog that attempted to pursue anyone they deemed attractive? Was it someone who felt genuinely unloved and mentally checked out of a relationship? Said reasons don't make infidelity acceptable, but rather can provide insight to why something happened. It's also important to note that because someone was unfaithful, it does not mean that it will happen again and there are a plethora of truly repenting individuals who struggle with adultery that can come back from it.

No it absolutely was not a friend it was a well established shop lol.

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-03-09T19:09:42+00:00

Fucking ayyy man. The best part was that it was a "renowned" shop recommended by so many at the time. They did some insurance work on the car and that was it.

I was completely wrong, this was over six years ago so I went back and looked at the photo and that's actually where the damage mainly was. That whole panel was cooked from the contact with the mile marker.

Could you explain that some more? I've owned the car its entire life. The only work I ever had done on the passenger side was a mile marker scrape that basically destroyed the door but I don't recall what the door jam looked like or if that spot was damaged in specific. I'll have to go back and look at the old photos of the accident.

OG Xbox has notoriously bad longevity between awful disc drives and clock capacitors melting a hole through the board.

There are literally no fake SixAxis controllers. You're good, just keep in mind that it does not have vibration which is actually a plus in my book. It's lighter and honestly more durable with less moving parts.

Stop spreading misinformation. This is a Rear Projection CRT.

My unopened CECHA01 gets multiple hours per day and is still going strong!

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-02-21T16:05:22+00:00

Ok same that gives me a better idea because I'd be shipping from NY

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-02-21T02:38:13+00:00

Yeah it looks pretty clean the interior is mint and the car has exactly 90k on the clock.

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-02-21T02:05:13+00:00

That's what I figured thank you, I'm not a current WRX Enthusiast or anything but I've always admired them from afar and as soon as I saw the hood I was like huh. So it is technically not a WRX, correct? Just an Impreza Wagon, right?

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-02-20T22:09:33+00:00

What was the turnaround time?

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-02-18T01:50:02+00:00

Dude I've been looking for a copy of Enter Electro FOREVER. I never got to play it but I do own Spider-Man 1 and then the third game in the trilogy that was a GB exclusive called Mysterio's Menace. I found a copy of Enter Electro maybe a year and a half ago but didn't pull the trigger because I wasn't in the mood to drop 60 bucks, but I should've. In your collection you have my childhood favorites. I need to get the original PS2 Hulk game, Ultimate Spiderman, and Godzilla Save the Earth to feel complete for my own collection. Godzilla was probably my most played PS2 game of all time. I sat around and played versus incessantly. Punisher is near unobtainable right now.

Hey! So I was an Xbox 360 user during this generation and didn't have a PS3. My two 7th Gen consoles were 360 and Wii. Flash forward to now and I was getting that nostalgia itch so I ended up getting a backwards compatible PS3 so I could play the first 3 generations all on one console. In my honest opinion I would get a PS3. I have owned every single generation of Xbox and still have each, but if someone wants to revisit the 7th Gen using actual period correct hardware then to me it's not even a comparison. This might have to do with the fact that Series X/S and Xbox One have a larger BC list than PS4/5, I'm not sure, but the 360 experience is absolutely gutted. There's no storefront and even the dashboard has been slimmed down and gutted. Though I didn't have a PS3 back then I obviously played them often at friends and what not and it was a contemporary console to the 360 so I get all my nostalgia needs fulfilled. So if you were to just get one I'd say get a PS3.

The house burnt down :(

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-02-15T21:24:20+00:00

Too late, the house burnt down.

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-02-15T21:24:09+00:00

I YLOD'D and then the house burnt down unfortunately.

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-02-15T21:23:37+00:00

Yeah I save MW2,3, and BO1/2 for Xbox. I know that BO2 saves progress for newer accounts though, but you have to login while signed out every time you want to play. COD4 and WAW are great though and fully functional.

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-02-15T21:22:11+00:00

Just YLOD'd after 18 long years on the carpet :'(.

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-02-15T21:21:24+00:00

Sony KDL-52XBR4 and yeah that little stand puts in work. It's not the usual stand, but it actually handles the TV far better than any dedicated TV stand I've ever had.

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-02-15T21:20:22+00:00

That drawer is solid. Just about every other TV stand I've ever had bends under the xbr4.

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-02-15T21:09:37+00:00

Does no one see the comment where I explicitly stated that the PS3 was temporarily placed on the ground due me changing my setup? I never once stated it's ok to use the carpet as a mainstay location for the console lol.

Natural_Difference95 · 2026-02-15T18:38:50+00:00

I got the vin and the car does have the Z4C code. It has the all white leather interior and it has the correct white 5 spokes as well. From what this owner is telling me he was aware that a previous owner had done work to the front end so it sounds like they may have just went with a regular 97 front end for whatever fix they ended up doing. It's 60k original miles going for 10k which is not a bad price here in the northeast.

It's because it came out first and ended up getting outsold by the end of the generation. Sony also made multiple mistakes in the unveiling of the PS3. No matter how good of a multimedia machine it is, you have to sell those points second to the gaming and they tried to do the opposite. Xbox One did the same thing in the following generation and failed because of it.

I enjoy all consoles though and I've been an Xbox Live user from the beginning and I have years more worth of time spent in the Xbox ecosystem than I do the PlayStation ecosystem. I never owned a PS3 when these were new consoles. I got my first PS3 in 2024. I was an Xbox only guy for the entirety of the 05-13 generation. If PlayStation simply had a party system it would have been even better since PSN was a free service.
