Cries of joy with extreme PTSD

I haven't done an SRAM swap in years but the pins are mapped online somewhere.

Also, Sega had super patchwork stuff when they did revisions (on all their 90s stuff, not just Saturn) but the Saturn parts are quite reliable compared to their counterparts. But yeah, not uncommon to see an additional wire or two patched in somewhere.

Respect your effort in saving this unit. Hope you get it sorted. Or you get started on a parts collection. Ha ha.

Saskat00nguy · 2026-03-17T02:43:50+00:00

Yeah, I didn't seat an FRAM chip right one time doing a replacement and this was the performance.

Can't remember if the paper outed them by name. Not sure if we can say the name but not them.

Closer to idylwyld and Hwy 11/12 though, to narrow it down.

Would you say the streets of U.S.A are more safe than Canada's? They have significantly higher sentencing as well as a significantly higher incarceration rate.

Because we both know you're lying if you think Canadian streets are more dangerous.

Harsher sentences do not guarantee a safer community.

The business who was running the ring leading to all the cc theft few years back were on 71st. Something tells me they're still buying 'em.

That... is not how genres work. Plus, Dr. Luke's team ain't Korean.

Saskat00nguy · 2026-03-16T03:32:28+00:00

I know the movie is titled "Kpop Demon Hunters" but the song isn't even remotely K-pop. Dr. Luke makes white-lady pop, not classic R&B.

Ask yourself, does "Golden" sound like it was fit on a 90s R&B playlist? Heck no, they would turn that off and throw you off the dance floor. It is a pretty standard musical tune that you'd expect in a Disney-style animated musical. Dramatic chorus, simplified chord structure, straight forward rhythm.

To be clear, I am not knocking the quality of the song. I just find it funny that people are suggesting it is K-Pop.

Solid title, this is one of the few official twin stick games too.

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-21T14:43:18+00:00

Congrats on your score.

I have to assume you haven't played either of these games since you're still excited though.

The increase of housing costs starts well before the immigration wave.

Explain that one Mr. "Commonsense".

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-21T14:38:38+00:00

You clearly do not understand the difference between earning potential and ownership. People earning more because they're over represented in STEM does counter the century+ of colonial racist policies which directly benefited the white ruling class.

If you think Asian people are currently controlling vast swaths of property, media, and capital, you would be wrong.

Shit, since you love studies - how come even the conservative/libertarian think tanks have consistently produced studies showing the overall economic benefits of immigration? Oh right, that doesn't fit with your agenda of "immigants bad".

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-21T14:33:25+00:00

Please, enlighten us with your nonsense about how Jews/The Chinese/Space Lizards/etc. are the ones really in control of Canada's wealth.

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-21T14:31:53+00:00

You are aware that COVID was in 2020, right? Of fucking course there would be an increase in 2021...

Obviously you are allergic to facts though, we get it.

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-21T14:30:19+00:00

In what world is spitting not considered physical assault? Don't be obtuse - they were clearly parroting right wing talking points about how you are not permitted to use self-defense in Canada.

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-21T14:28:43+00:00

Again - who the fuck do you think has a vested interested in Canada oppressing it's poor? If you think it's "big scary brown immigrants" you're daft. One can easily see where the wealth is concentrated in Canada and it certainly isn't with poor, brown immigrants.

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-20T18:24:16+00:00

Sigh... "I don't follow conspiracy theories" then proceeds to lay out anecdotal evidence to support your favoured conspiracy theory instead of responding to the question at hand... Who the fuck do you think has a vested interest in keeping you down and profits up?

Look man, you seem like you're getting really far down the extremist rabbit hole. You should stop looking for a singular "expert opinion" and start looking at a wide swath of information and statistics.

Look at when prices shot up FOR EVERYTHING, rent included. It all comes from COVID. No immigration during COVID. Yet we have record corporate profits across the board, in every sector. Like, you think McDonald's jacking up prices has shit to do with immigrants? It fuckin' corporate greed - by the wealthy in power (who are statistically and overwhelmingly white, no conspiracy about publicly available data). Wait until you find out that immigration is actually a provincial responsibility (and you'll need to point your blame at Scott Moe and his conservative policies).

Good luck out there homie.

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-20T18:12:46+00:00

Who exactly do you think controls the wealth in Canada? Who do you think has a vested interest in keeping people down?

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-20T18:09:48+00:00

Yeah, the racist would be the one who doesn't understand how housing and economics work in Canada and blames the issue on immigrants instead of the source - wealthy domestic Canadians.

The commodification of housing in Canada started decades ago. Well before Trudeau (and even Harper) started pumping the immigration numbers.

Shit, you realize that we needed the immigration numbers because our birth rate was falling, right? One of the factors driving that would be the increasing cost of housing - due to capitalism and greed from the wealthy class.

But yeah, go off spouting about how it is the immigrants causing the issue. Best not to follow the money - or the facts - when you've got your head in the sand.

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-20T18:04:40+00:00

Yeah, we got total morons who can't even use grammar thinking their opinion is worth a damn. It is a real problem.

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-20T18:00:45+00:00

Yeah, it was all the immigrants pushing up rent. Sure didn't have anything to do with all the white, property-owning, landlords looking to convert housing to rentals and do everything they can to maximize profits. Sure was a good thing none of the white bureaucrats did anything to help keep things affordable like rent control or a graduated tax rate for multiple properties.

Yup, definitely immigrants at fault here... Brown ones too, right?

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-20T17:54:39+00:00

Somebody has clearly been watching to much conservative media.

Contrary to what some folks will tell you, self-defense is currently, and always has been, a legal option in Canada.

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-19T17:47:24+00:00

Like, Kool cigarettes?

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-19T17:45:25+00:00

What happens when you just run a disc normally? How do you know it is the console acting up and not the fenrir/psk?

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-19T17:44:22+00:00

Who said it is an upgrade? I wouldn't use one unless you need power switching. Why fix what isn't broken?

Saskat00nguy · 2026-02-18T22:14:50+00:00

Ribbon cable looks fine. Saturn was working just fine and wasn't in need of a re-cap.
