I have a N3DS (XL in US) in all 3 regions. I have a few issues with the CFW on them, but they are bugs and are being worked on. The important part is they are being worked on. I have had no issues like the ones you speak of. No PIN lock or ejecting cartridge error. The CFW is great for debugging, it's proven quite valuable to a number of people. The region free is nice, but again for someone that has the consoles in every region it's not a big deal. The debugging and plugin support is the big one for me.
Sorry, I don't follow your every post so I don't know the details of everything you own nor do I care about your collection of backup devices. To list them all out like that is childish and is just you trying to gain attention. Saying I'm the cheap-ass is funny, cause you know nothing about me. I have a great game collection and lot's of console, but I don't need to have backup devices to play all my old games cause I actually collected them. Nice guess on the ROMs, but you're wrong.
And sorry but no, making long irate posts about stifling innovation and trying to make your voice heard on a video game forum and taking it seriously is certainly childish and laughable. Nothing is going to come from your posts and you're just making yourself look stupid. Yes, unpopular opinions can be wrong but complaining on a forum about it is not going to be the answer. Do something that makes a different and stop being a keyboard warrior. No one really cares if you have ADD or not, the fact that you mention it and tell me to get over it is just funny.
I understand what forums are for and what each thread is for. Going on a thread about someone releasing a plugin and then writing a post about how it doesn't do what you want and just creating a wall of text isn't going to add to the actual discussion on the plugin. If you want to talk about commercialism then go ahead and start a thread. Or one about why cell9 should make NTR for the people and forget the silly copyright laws he believes in, then do that. But don't add it to the discussion of the release of a plugin and bog down the post with your non-sense.
So me and the others are fanning the flames, yep that happens on forums from time to time. But you're an expert on forums so you know that. I think we are (and maybe I'm just speaking for myself) sick of you throwing up this garbage with a wall of text every time you disagree with something. It's great you want to level the playing field against the flash cart manufactures, go ahead and make your own firmware that does CFW support or whatever it is you want to do. It's the creator of the software that gets to decide, and if they state they won't once, just leave it alone and stop. Go learn something, program, anything. The amount of effort you put into your posts and the length of them could be put to so much better time. (I am saying that last line to myself too.)
You asked "Would you have me believe people are hurting that have a much larger annual income than I do?". And to that, I say yes, some people with much larger incomes can be hurting. Some people went to college, got loans for it all, moved for a job, and then got a slightly above average paying job. But to them it's like living on 10k a year after all the bills they have each month. Just because they may make more doesn't mean they aren't miserable or hurting more in life. Money ≠ Happiness. So now you'll say something like, they still have a better life because they got to go to college and their loans will be paid off eventually or something like that.
Anyways. Reply to this and let's waste my time, your time and all the readers time. Or I have a better idea. You can reply, but let's just keep in in PMs. I'm willing to have this discussion with you, but not out here where it's just gonna be a wall of text for everyone and actually not add to the actual discussion of the topic.
