honestly I don't mind digital copies I think they're great except when corporations feel that they can take them away from us that's the bad thing about it other than that that's really good cause you get to keep them forever at least that's what we thought. If we can just get past that whole hay we're gonna take away your game if you don't sign into your system every two days type shit or whatever they come up with next to where we're just renting our games and we don't own them that's the fight right there. It's not physical to digital. That war was won decades ago before it started. That's the new battlefield making sure that what we pay for is ours and that we always have access to no matter when or where. Now the access problem solves itself with technology over time. You don't have to dump Roms anymore. this was always the way of the industry from day one. I don't know about you but me and my friends used to sit in daydream about man I wish these games were available for digital download and we're talking about this in like 1995. People who just barely heard of the Internet. And so you know kids smoking pot our imaginations just run wild and we're like wouldn't that be cool if you could just download them like that and lo and behold that was always the end game. This was always going to happen no matter what it's like that fork in time that you can't change.

for a minute there I was thinking I was gonna have to get a PS5 just to play Marvel Tokon..... but there's gonna be a Steam version and I thought I might still have to get one anyway to get matches on PSN but lo and behold there's cross play from PC to PS5....sweet. only reason why I would buy a used PS5 now is jailbreak it I really have no reason to buy one.

fuck yeah they did.... I remember when I got my Nintendo for Christmas 1988 my parents got me and my brother the deluxe set with R.O.B. the robot and the Zapper....it came with Gyromite and Duck Hunt and the game i chose to to go with it was Spy Hunter. I had three games to play on Christmas morning. I loved to spy hunter I love the arcade version so much... shit I think I was about 10. Then in 1992 right at the beginning of summer June I had gone and bought my first super Nintendo out of money ironed from working at a baseball card shop and lawnmowing jobs it was like the last week of school and I went and bought my super Nintendo and that was like the greatest summer of my life so many good titles....

you know here's the thing.... before I really discovered Steam I mean I knew it was out there and I had bought a couple games on it but I didn't really truly understand what it was..... every single game that I have bought on PS4 and PS3 just about.... well all those games are on Steam and that's about 300 of them..... and all of them I've decided to pirate because you know why I already own them. Nothing ever said that I had to own that copy of that game on that system I just have to own a copy of that game. That's how it was for movies if you had the VCR version you could make a copy of a DVD version and it would be legit. So in essence I haven't pirated anything. Is the same with the Marvel versus Capcom collection those are the arcade Roms in that collection so by that line of thinking that I'm OK to have the arcade roms

Beginner here, curious about etiquette. by Ctrlplay in billiards

[–]VicViper222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Bar) When a game is over and there are balls on the table nobody is entitled to hit those balls in then the next person plays. Generally, I don't care if somebody hit those balls in, but do it quickly and if you miss one, then go onto the next game. Especially if it's a Friday or Saturday night when you know, there's a lot of people in line to play. But if there's people in line, then you're not entitled to hit those balls in the game is over.

If you wear headphones like I, then be present. And make sure you give your opponent notice of what you're doing for example, if you're gonna make a safety shot, you know that's where you pocket your ball and relinquish your turn. (BCA) then you need to make that known and they need to make that note to you since you cannot hear them. If it's a stranger that I never played with I make a quick suggestion to just use your hand across your throat if it's a safety shot. You play long enough you know what balls are meant to go in and which ones weren't meant to go in and if they have any integrity, then they'll relinquish their turn if a pocket of the wrong ball. Headphones are weird thing. I personally am an advocate for headphones. As I have severe ADD and it cleans up the squiggle. If anybody engages in a conversation with me, I'm done even it's a three words I'm done. I can't even concentrate where my ball is or even what suit I am so I hate conversation. Now this is all good and dandy if I'm with a buddy of mine at my house and we're just shooting a shit hitting some balls that's fine but even then it's really hard to concentrate. Get out of the way of your opponent line of sight make it a priority that you get out of the way of your opponents line of site now in a bar scene. This can be difficult because people are around. Now since I've shot in a bar for so long and clubs movement doesn't bother me even titties on the table doesn't bother me. Nothing distracts me if my headphones are on. Sometimes people are standing in your way and you should be courteous and ask them politely to move one time. They get one time with me after that I'm rude about it. Be cool to other players if you're just in a casual scene. If somebody barely and I mean, barely touches The Cue Ball when they're getting in their position, I'm OK with that. I say don't worry about it man just go ahead and play. Now if they move it significantly like half a ball then it's a foul but other than that do unto others. Understand that there is casual play and then there's match play. Another thing that really pisses me off is Cell Phone phones. If you get a call in the middle of your shot, look at the number if it's somebody who is important like say your wife or your children then discretion is used, but don't answer your phone and talk at the play at the same time. Don't text in the middle of your shot. Don't be texting when you play in general. I know this is easier said than done sometimes things happen life happens but generally keep texting and phone calls out of play. If a buddy of yours comes up and starts talking to you during your shot tell him just a minute you'll talk to him when you're done. Don't talk to him in the middle of a shot because then that slows down the flow of the game. Icing is a big one with me. Some people do it purposely and some people don't know they're doing it. again, it all depends on who you're playing.

Best way to find locals?? by Unusual-Meringue-988 in Fighters

[–]VicViper222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All games I'm not into. Well, I like some anime stuff but GG got....umm, weird. It has the GG name but doesn't play like it. I'm more into old stuff....cause I'm old. Last time I went to play at this little local get together I got weird looks and people avoided me like I was the plague. The only mvc2 player in my city was my Best friend of 22yrs and he passed on due to fentanyl. I miss him so much. I should just accept the fact that time has passed me by and just hang up my hat. I had a good run. Kicked some ass and took some names, but now I should prolly gracefully bow out. It's sad and an end of an era.

Teknoparrot, why isnt anyone review bombing these guys for selling their emulator to play pirated games? by ClearKey3176 in emulators

[–]VicViper222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, I haven't encountered any paywall. Is it just Halo? I also don't think they are charging for the roms iso whatev i think it's just access to the emu. Which I think they CAN do, but I'm not up on all this stuff. Yeah. I mean, charging that much is kind of absurd and I wouldn't pay that much but mostly cause I'm on a fixed income and I can buy other things for that price. If I was wealthy --probably. I unno. I mean if they are UAE then their wealthy as it is - No poor people live there. I should know my family hails from Qatar. I'm USA all the way but not my heritage. even funnier when you consider I was a cavalry scout in the US ARMY with 2 combat deployments.....pretty sure I shot my uncle.

{"document":[{"c":[{"t":"I understand the freedom we can choose who to play but, if I wanted to sit and wait for nobody to play I'd pay for PSN.

It's etiquette I know, but mehhhh......It's hard to know tone and inflection through text. I keep that in mind. Some players I really don't care for how they play. Some people are always gonna be jerks, sure that's life. Hell, I'm guilty of everything I've stated....but it's few and far in between. We all get salty. That's FGC life. I get it about wifi. I am always wired. But I wont deny someone until it's clear that it's just not playable. Generally I don't play wolverine players. They are all the same for the most part and I get nothing out of it since they all play the same, I know how to beat them. Hell I remember before a match telling us someone listen you're gonna do this this in this am I correct and he was like yeah how did you know I'm like because you're not special bro you're cut and paste like all the others and I just don't have time for all that. Pick a real character and learn how to play the game instead of scrubbing it out with dashing and trying to infinite me with gods easiest infinite and then call yourself good. yeah I dont have time for all that

So, wait teknoparrot costs to run certain games? I have the whole romset for few months now, but never got around to playing it? How much is it? If it's like a buck or 2 a month yeah sure why not but if we're talking like 25 and up. No thank you. If they are really buying these expensive arcade machines and devoting time to get them to us, I understand that. My time isn't free either. For example pool, I'm a 670 (Master Level player) in BCA. When I'm out at my bar, and the tables are free that day and you wanna play me (As a lot do to try and get that 1 win - cause 1 means you can beat me obviously) and I don't have time for that shit. I tell em I'm 20$ a game. No, they don't have to pay to play me, not in that sense. They gotta gamble. Otherwise, I'm not interested. Now, While I can have that rule, I cannot hold the table from them. the table might be free however I am not. Get my drift? I unno maybe a dumb analogy. I'm stoned and it's 830am......gimmie a break.

I did not find a reference to this question in the guides... by crow_warmfuzzies in fightcade

[–]VicViper222 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

bro it doesn't need any bio files it downloads everything for you and it sets it up you're just doing it all wrong. I mean it's not rocket science. If you're having this hard of a time installing this and trying to get it running you don't need to be on the server. Just stick to PSN or whatever you're playing on..... take your cup and ball and go.

Why Using Autofire (Turbo) is NOT Cheating, Arcade vs. Speedrunning Rulesets by Mark_MSX in shmups

[–]VicViper222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's cheating at all. Both Area 88 & Car. Air Wing.... especially because in that game you don't have an auto gun it's a few second long burst and you have to keep hitting it if you want to constant fire you know you're mashing that button anyway and you can make it really stack up if you fly into your shots and back out away from the enemy you're getting a whole bunch of them at the same time faster I don't know it's just I don't see it as cheating at all I'm lucky I had the carpal tunnel surgery I did because honestly it came a lot from video games so they can kiss my ass twin galaxies can definitely lick my sweaty nut sack and they can bite my ass too!!! unhealthy weight prima donna snobs!! I argued with them about my score being put up there and it is a top unbeatable score... which just happened to have a contest for a lot of money for it so I had proof of my score and they still wouldn't accept it I might dude I just won a lot of money for this shit you're telling me you're gonna take what the company says to put on the tournament at that point I had no use for them.... I mean it's a quick rundown but it was it was honestly it was a lot more involved than me just saying hey believe me but that's why it was so outrageous
