Hello, my name is Gorfunion. I was originally here 10+ years ago (seriously?!?). I reminiscing and found an old thread created by Hoolio that was closed, so I though I'd register and create a new thread. I have so many memories of logging in each and every day to see how everyone was doing, rack up a high post count, and create avatars and signatures in PaintShop Pro (ha!).

Since I've been gone I've added 2 more kids to the family (3 total). Received a BA and a MA. Planted a church. And still game quite a bit, though I've transitioned to console gaming — Destiny, Dragonball Xenoverse, PvZ: Garden Warfare, and I've played WoW every once in a while for the past 5 years.

Anyway, that's enough about me.

I'm wondering why you didn't log in to your old account though?

    @BigOnYa, Maybe. Depends if Nintendo wanted to expand the lifespan of the console. But with every console that they release, it usually gets discontinued after 10-12 years.

    These so-called 'media stories' often make predicaments about when or what is going to happen, whereas it could be the total opposite.

    Support from big n may stop aka new firmwares, but devs will prob continue making games for it as long as sales are good.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    New firmwares are only there to prevent piracy/softmodding hardware, they do not "enhance the user experience" as they claim so on and so forth. And if they decide to add new features to the system via firmware updates, then it's quite rare.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Games are still released on PS4\ XboxOne, so I imagine will be same scenario.

    True. We'll have to see.

    Currently we don't know what's happening at all, it's up to our imagination to decide (especially via IGN and other sources).

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I have a feeling big N has a extra trick up they sleeve to prevent piracy this time w Switch 2. (Lotus 4 maybe) So the new games can't be dumped, even w a dump tool. (Mig dumper)

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It would have to be extra security measures in the Switch 2 gamecarts that will be different from the OG Switch carts. So, for example, Switch 2 gamecarts will not work with the Switch, because it has a different ASIC. Game partitions and layout to a Switch ROM will be the same, but has extra flags in the ROM header info that only the Switch 2 will recognise.

    I like how restaurants treat people that want to pay in cash now days like they're about to rob the place heard one say oh you have cash let me get the manager really just to pay in cash lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If Trump does the proposed tarrifs it means a $449 Switch2 will now cost $569 plus tax.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Just tell them to keep the change.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Give me your change so I can rob you while I pay you
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    When I owned my pizza place many years ago, we didn't have a cash register at all, every employee was given a "bank" of small bills at start of shift. Then everyone pocketed the money and made change, and I'd cash everyone out at end of shift. One time we had a gunman come in to rob me and wanted to know where's the cash register. I told him we don't take cash, only credit, and he left with nothing. Cops caught him even.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I like to carry $20 cash but rest 100% on card or in my safe

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I don't really like having it all in the bank because you never know when systems go down or information gets stolen

    My wifeys aunt gave her some gold coins in her will when she passed last year, and the tax man was gonna tax her a gift tax on it, but our accountant said if she sells the gold and put that money into a 5 year CD, it will be untaxable. So she did, and now IRS saying they want a income tax on the gold coin sale. Damn taxman always greedy.
