I find it funny how these folks rant at websites in such fashion. I'd be lying if I didn't say somethings are true but the magic of it is that I simply don't give a fuck what a blog post (or a forum for that matter) says. The point I enjoy lies outside of his post. 05:45 am. Generally I prefer getting ready for work in the morning rather than posting on blogs but whatever, TO EACH THEIR OWN.

Edit: Bolded for unnecessary emphasis.

I love piracy and stealing free video games because I fantasize about the starving children of the developers piling up in the streets and rotting as I step over them playing with my M3 Simply. That dream of mine makes me laugh hysterically by myself. I play and beat plenty of the games I steal (Soul Bubbles 100%, Metroid Prime 3 veteran 100%, Mario Galaxy, Viewtiful Joe DS, both Castlevania DS, TWEWY working on secret reports, etc etc) I play to conquer motherfucker, don't you question my extreme eliteness in the field of stealing video games and raping them to death. I will rip your balls off and sew them to my body, that's right I'm stealing and using your balls which are IN MY PANTS. TWO BALLS IS SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH FOR ME. I will beat every god damn wii and ds title, I will eat ketchup and mustard till my shit turns orange, and I will rebuild the twin towers and SCALE THEM NUDE.

Some people are always watching.

[-EDIT-]
To explain the above post (already being asked wtf) GBAtemp broke the news on WiiScrubber as it was GBAtemp member Dack who coded the app.
Brakken posted the news on tehskeen, with links to GBAtemp.
If so against piracy and GBAtemp, why post an app used to modify illegal ISOs? Answer: HITS

That was a nice rant!

Even though I don´t read through the forums there, I do visit the site´s main page every day. Great stuff imiho.

He does make some good points, and I agree with pretty much all of it, but he should well live and let live.

And even though there are a large number of tweens, and über-noobs here, there´s still a bunch of experienced, intelligent persons as well.

As for me, well he hit the nail right on the head. I probably do have about 80,000 games that I´ll never play. I don´t mind using a guide if I get stuck in a game.

Just hope he´s not coming after me personally now, just because I have a patch over one of my eyes, and have a wood leg. What kind of a fair fight would that be?

I used to blog for TehSkeen. It sucked.

Oh, I linked to GBATemp one time and woke up with this message:

brakken said:
Hey,

I'd like to keep that warez page off of tehskeen. I know there's going to be hundreds of mods for games and I don't want the main page full of links to them. So please refrain from updating the site with new mods they make for Wii games.

Thanks,
brakken

Anything else you'd like to know about brakken? I'm ready for a tell all.

Your only proving his point with stupid shit like this.

I'm not here to argue or flame as GBATEMP usually does, I'm just pointing out facts.

Guys please be aware, he isn't talking about everyone on GBATEMP (though he covers a large majority), so if you don't fall under any categories he talks about...then be cool. You'd only need to SHOW ME YOUR RAGE, if you were actually offended by feeling as if it were truth or relevant to you.

(Why do I feel like posting this is a bad thing?)

Well...
I do think we are getting a tad bit, 90% of the people below 40 posts piss me off with their flames and crap... but seriously, we have the best damn mods/admins I've ever seen, and all of our regular members are awesome and make this community rock.

So yeah, I respectfully disagree with this blog, and also request this thread be deleted to prevent any more of our members from spamming his site.

Not that you have any reason to kiss butt, ye blogger of TehSkeen.

If he didn't mean most users then why did he say:

brakken
Okay, so I’ve said my bit. I think 99% of GBATEMP’s users are little kids (twelve through early twenties) that think just because they can pirate some ROM files

You're FLAT OUT WRONG about him not meaning it about most of the users as he explains in that sentence. 99% (very scientific calculation by him here) pretty much means nearly everyone.

Come on kid.

DOES NOT COMPUTE.

To be honest, this guy is just talking bullshit. If he sees these kind of people everywhere, then it doesn't matter whether GBAtemp is full of them or not, because everywhere else is anyway, so it's the same.

Simply because I help maintain tehskeen, does not mean that I must believe everything that he believes and blindly support him. I have my opinions, and he has his. Hell, if you noticed, I've been a member of gbatemp longer than theskeen. Also, I fall under the category of the 80,000+ ROM collecting whores. I can understand his opinion, and we have even talked about it, and civilly resolved. Hell there wasn't even a conflict. But I don't need to backlash at him or flame him. I can say, hey, wouldn't say that about everyone who collects ROMs. End discussion. Also, maybe you guys could learn something about hyperboles? Using 99% in the way he did journalistically (is that a word?) is obviously a hyperbole, and not to be taken literally in a statistic point.

Again I'm not trying to put down anyone else or flame. Just defending myself.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
