Dude, relax I'm sure they'll know it's real when they get it. I don't want to slam on your deed here. Obviously you realized posting this would dig up some jerks? Second, how do you know your not asking the community to post the best story? Also what if some really nice person lives outside the US are you really going to shell out big shipping bucks to reverse karma?

No one here really has any reason to trust me, but if it came from GBATemp, it would be pretty hard to deny it.

It's really not that expensive to ship something that small from the US. I just sent one of my friends in the UK a PS2 memory card that I had installed FreeMCBoot on, and it was less than five bucks. Worth it.

Uhh.. GBATemp is not really the best moral compass. Frankly you're going to have to sift through a lot of garbage post in this thread to even find what you're looking for (i.e. this one)

Don't you know people who live near by that would need the game? That's what I did, I bought as many copies as I could for people I knew in person because they would have no idea about any of this until the game is going for $3000.

I recently taught a neighborhood kid about homebrew and recently installed the homebrew chanell on his wii so he can run emulators and he thanked me. not sure if this counts as a good deed but that's what I have done recently

 

[fadeyt]

Man i wish they even had the game near me lol i called every store i could in a 100ml radius not a single copy. AND ITS not because of sales these stores blow lol

 

[the_randomizer]

Not sure if this will be any good, but here I go lol. I recently installed the Homebrew channel for a friend of mine, even went as far as copying all the folder structures to make updating and locating apps easier for him. I wanted to help him because, well, he too is an avid gamer and grew up on the stuff I did, but also he's been going through very difficult times with his marriage. I don't know if me saying that's worth much, but I just thought I'd let ya know I even taught him how to navigate the HBC, delete apps and so on

 

[CraddaPoosta]

Would I be much of an asshole if I gently pointed out that I was kind of going for NEW acts of kindness?

Something between today and Friday would be great. I plan to send all of these out on Friday afternoon, so tomorrow should be a day of vast opportunity.

Start a pay-it-forward chain when you stop at Burger King tomorrow.

Tape enough money to buy a soda to a vending machine with a Post-It note telling whomever finds it to have one on you.

Teach someone something that will give them joy.

A lot can get done in one day.

I backed up a family friend's games to a spare portable harddrive he had, and then tried to explain how the HBC and USB loader work, but it went horribly wrong. I ended up taping a piece of paper to the side of his tv with instructions to load the games. Never again..... or at least for stupid people.

I was okay with the question "what is homebrew?", as that is a valid question for someone new to this kind of stuff, but when he asked "why is the Homebrew Channel needed for homebrew?", I was just going to leave. I only stayed because my mother forced me convinced me to finish.

I've learned a long long time ago that introducing people, who barely know how to turn on a PC, to homebrew is a very very VERY bad idea.
I've spend 7 hours, explaining, the most noob friendly ways to them how they should download things and put them on a SD card so they could play their stupid pokemon game on their Wii.

I think I've got a better shot at instructing a 4 year old on how to operate a spacecraft then to instruct a "family" how to "maintain" their homebrew on their console.

Never again...

And neo i pmed you to let you know i wasnt joking about the shipping thing so pm friday morning and ill gladly send some

The best thing I did this week was testify at my city hall in order to convince the city government to divest money from oil stocks and put it into renewable energy like solar and wind. After countless meetings with councilors who told us that this would be near impossible at a city level, and after attending many marches (I'm not from NYC but if you went to the People's Climate March, represent and respect!) The city council voted yes to urging the state to divest from oil stocks, 11 to 1. What this basically means is cleaner air, less global warming and such, and economic stability in the longterm. Hopefully other states will pull through.

If you need sources or even want them, I learned about the passing less then 4 hours ago, so give me a day and I'll have a news article or at least a Facebook post

Every year during the holiday season, I have dozens of co-workers who come up to me with an array of consoles that they want modded or hacked or ROM'd. I think at my last count, I had modded more than 60 Wii consoles, refusing payment for it.

I wrote an encyclopedic FAQ for each console that I ever modded, and included it with everything else. Covered every conceivable question.

No one ever read it. I get calls and emails and texts for weeks every year, until usually around February. I completely understand what you mean.

But, there's a difference between teaching a man how to fish, and just teaching him how to drop a pole in the water. I haven't been successful at teaching anybody to really be a fisherman. As long as they don't fall in the water, at this point.

 

[the_randomizer]

Well, guess that means I haven't much of a chance to get the game after all.

That's exactly how it went unfortunately.
In the end I just downloaded their silly games, dumped them on the SD, inserted it, taped over the SD slot, installed a forwarder and told them that if they touch the SD card, their games would never work again as it had a magical lock on it.

Some people are better left being dumb.
Letting them believe in pixies is the best option.

I just disabled their ability to ever update their system. Everyone I have helped with the PS Vita has caved, though. It's practically impossible to keep a Vita on lower firmware.

WHAT DOES THIS THREAD HAVE TO DO WITH 3DS HACKING OR HOMEBREW?

Cubic Ninja is the exploitable game that will trigger smealum's new SSSPWN exploit for the 3DS.

unfortunately people like to be spoon fed. I do understand not everyone understands things but some people are lazy. But hey just hope if they fall in the water that they know how to swim

Severely offtopic but kinda related.

I actually once made someone believe that the water in a lock chamber in a channel would move to the sides, leaving the middle water level lower then the edges at 1 am, cause the moon would then be closer to the earth.
Poor bastard believed it and went looking.

Some people are extremely gullible, it's not funny anymore :c
