bsnes, or more accurately now Higan. Accuracy counts.

I keep ZSNES and SNES9x on-hand entirely for romhacks that don't work right on an accurate emulator.

It does not, but it includes a converter that'll change smc to the right format.

The first post should probably be updated. (oh right I can do that, uh...) (oh wait, no I can't..?)

I'm Thexare (PS4, Steam, Origin) or Nilanos (XBL)

I hate games that you have to sign up to a service just to play it online (or sometimes at all), especially when you have to pay for it.


It's pretty much necessary for any sort of proper administrative infrastructure, which is what makes it possible to do such things as, say, banning cheaters.

Oh, yeah, I fully understand not paying monthly fees, there's plenty of legit reasons for it. But objecting to registering an account even when it's free for multiplayer features, that's another matter.

Yeah that's not a thing that can happen, board software doesn't support editing polls AFAIK.

Banjo-Kazooie (near-100%; didn't get all Mumbo tokens.)

Fuck that fucking engine room.

Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition

Not 100%, not DLC missions either. Haven't put it down yet, not completely.

Theoretically you could, but direct database editing has an unfortunate tendency to fuck things up in Acmlmboards on account of weird-ass coding. Not worth it for such a small thing.

What have you done in 2015 that you have never done before?
- Quit my existing shitty job to work from home (taking care of my grandfather, but it still counts).

Did you keep your new years resolution from this year, and will you make one for next year?
- N/A and no.

Did anyone close to you give birth?
- Crystal did. Again. And she's pregnant. Again.

Did anyone close to you die?
- No.

Did anyone close to you get married?
- No.

Did anyone close to you get divorced?
- I think so? Hard to say with Chris and Lisa. I hope so, though, I want that bitch out of everyone's life. The world would be better off if she just fucked off to a cave somewhere and lived as a hermit.

Where did you travel to in 2015?
- Didn't. Can't.

What would you like to have in 2016 that you lacked in 2015?
- Some hope for the future of the country? That'd be nice. Oh, and a functioning vehicle.

What dates from 2015 will you have etched in your memory, and why?
- June... June... shit I forgot the day. The day I quit Dollar General.

What was your biggest achievement of the year?
- Eh, nothing really. Finally starting to speak up for myself maybe? Being out of retail's done wonders for my mood simply because I don't need to give a damn about how some piece of shit disguised as a monkey in a suit might react. God damn I hated that place.

What was your biggest failure?
- No significant accomplishments, still no real training for future employment - and due to circumstances it's not currently possible.

Did you suffer injury or illness?
- Nothing significant.

What was the best thing you bought?
- Well it would've been a bike helmet if the fucking thing fit...

Whose behavior merited celebration?
- Chris finally got sick of Lisa's bullshit and left, bringing Ronnie with him to get her away from the toxic environment she was stuck in (alcoholic chain-smoking mother that can't stop getting evicted, just for one issue), so I guess that.

Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
- Prior to the above, though, that entire family's drama was the goddamn Jerry Springer Show. Lisa was cheating on Chris with Crystal's boyfriend, who apparently got them both pregnant, then Crystal took him back anyway and decided that instead of moving into a two-bedroom apartment with a family friend that she actually liked, she'd rather sleep in a car with him. And that's just within the last month and a half.

Where did most of your money go?
- Games?

What did you get really, really, really excited about?
- Ace Combat 7's announcement. I thought the series was dead.

What song will always remind you of 2015?
- Realistically, none. My memory isn't very good with dates, so...

Compared to this time last year, you are:
a) Happier or Sadder?
- Happier, but frustrated.
b) Thinner or Fatter?
- Heavier, but no fatter. Moving a 180 lb. old man tends to result in a bit of extra muscle. I still have a little more gut than I'd like (amount I'd like: none), but that's not new.
c) Richer or Poorer?
- Richer.

What do you wish you would have done more of?
- I need to actually stick with things.

What do you wish you would have done less of?
- Gotta work on the anger. It's... an issue, still.

How did you spend New Year's Eve? (December 31, 2014)
- Half the time forgetting it was a holiday.

How did you spend New Year's Day? (January 1)
- See above.

How did you spend Valentine's Day? (February 14)
- Working at Dollar General.

How did you spend St. Patrick's Day? (March 17)
- I have no goddamn clue.

How did you spend Easter? (April 5)
- Working at Dollar General.

How did you spend Cinco de Mayo? (May 5)
- Not a goddamn thing.

How did you spend the 4th of July?
- Relaxing at home, resting and recovering from my shitty job.

How did you spend Patriot Day? (September 11)
- Is that a thing of course that's a thing why is that a thing

Seriously, the way people slap "patriot" on everything they can is just unbelievably creepy to me.

How did you spend Talk Like a Pirate Day? (September 19)?
- Talking like a pirate, if software piracy counts.

How did you spend Halloween? (October 31)
- Playing video games. I'm too old for trick-or-treating and there's nothing interesting around here anyway.

How did you spend Thanksgiving? (November 26)
- Not doing a damn thing.

How did you spend Christmas? (December 25)
- Visiting parents, as was usual. Likely won't next year though.

Did you fall in love in 2015?
- Nope.

What was your favorite TV show?
- Still Top Gear.

What was your least favorite show of 2015?
- The wonderful thing about almost exclusively watching Netflix is that if I don't like something I can stop watching and completely forget about it.

Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
- Echoing your Trump here, Rogue.

What was the best book you read?
- I oughta get back into reading.

What was your greatest musical discovery?
- Not much, really, but since I finally got around to playing Sleeping Dogs, I found Couldn't Get It Right and oughta look into more from Climax Blues Band.

What did you want and get?
- Mostly just video game stuff. I have simple tastes, I guess.

What did you want and not get?
- A working fucking car.

What was your favorite film of this year?
-Well, Kingsman is the only one I watched and I liked it, so...

What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
- Visited my parents for my 27th, as usual. Probably not happening this year though.

What is one thing that would have made your year more satisfying?
- If I could stop getting angry so easily.

How would you describe your personal fashion concept of 2015?
- Simple. As usual. Mostly monochrome shirts, plain black jeans or khaki pants, black shoes.

What kept you sane?
- Getting out of a shitty retail job.

What celebrity/Public figure did you fancy the most?
- N/A.

What political issue stirred you the most?
- A growing despair at half of our government's refusal to do its job, if that counts. I think the Flint, MI Lead In The Water story broke after the new year, so it doesn't count.

What news story was the most overblown?
- Hard to say, I don't pay much attention to most news, honestly.

Who do you miss?
- Every offline friend I've ever had?

Did you reconnect with anyone?
- Nope.

Tell us a life lesson you learned in 2015.
- Pay more for shoes. Seriously.

Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
- Nah.

What plans do you have for 2016?
- Nothing special. Keep taking care of my grandfather, stay sane, etc.

What are your resolutions for 2016?
- None. I'd forget it by Easter anyway.

What will you be doing for New Year's Eve?
- Didn't do anything.

Doom 2 two-man co-op in Ultraviolence, with DoomRL Arsenal.

This does not make things easier. New enemies more than compensate for added firepower.

Especially since I had to solo The Spirit World due to a spawn bug... and got stuck dealing with a Spider Mastermind.

And a Nightmare Spider Mastermind.

Simultaneously.

I had an ammo problem after that level.

We're working on TNT: Evilution on the weekends now. Map 31: Pharaoh is goddamn weird.

Have had a cold of some sort for about a week. Minor symptoms go back further. Actually problematic for about four days.

It's just about over now.

Worst I've had for a while, but still not bad, just bad coughing, occasional sneezing (now gone), and sore throat (mostly gone). But since I'm rather shall we say "out of practice" dealing with illness...

We finished TNT, but it got pretty crazy. Like, MAP28 - surrounded by shit, couple cyberdemons off ledges, etc?

At least one of the cyberdemons was replaced with a Nightmare Cyberdemon. They have missiles and also a fucking laser cannon.

Next on the chopping block are Community Chest 2 and Alien Vendetta. They're both pretty rough so far...

edit: wait, that map didn't even have cyberdemons to begin with. christ, DoomRL Arsenal makes things harder than I thought.

Tales of Maj'Eyal: Embers of Rage campaign complete (Normal/Adventure difficulty)

Sobek, Orc Sawbutcher, was basically a whirling deathblender. Anything that resisted deathblending stopped at about level 35, and was carefully but unfailingly dealt with via steam-powered devices until then.

Verdict: Is good.

They don't always have the opportunity. IIRC LucasArts actually refused to let them fix/finish KotOR 2 post-release.

Sore throat.

Well, more accurately, agitated soft palate and uvula.

So, it hurts when I swallow. That's fun.

Nothing else thankfully, but I wish this would go away.

Upper 70s a few days ago. 49 today.

I just love the weather here.

EDIT: 70s, not 80s. Two trans of thought ran together, tens died.

I'm pretty much the same, with the exception of keeping ibuprofen and acetaminophen around for my recurring moderate-to-severe headaches. Lifelong issue, unfortunately.

Turns out the day after bitching about the sore throat the problem started going away.
