TITLE SCREW UP: I meant "lucky and lazy", it's not meant to be read as "lucky or lazy". Not sure why I typed a backslash....

How is a username "lucky and lazy", you may wonder? These are users that got the exact names of famous game, movie, etc characters. Or, their name/avatar could just really match their personalities over several years on these forums. The main difference between this list and the Worst list is that these names have no extra punctuation marks, no numbers, none of that stuff. Hence the lucky part, they were the first people to get these names, when many other members would probably want it. The only requirement I'm using is that they have something other than the default avatar. Sorry Yoshi, Kratos, and TONS others, but come on, it's not hard to make one.

Please note: This is not an insulting list. I'm lazy as hell, it rocks. Saying you're lazy isn't always an insult, and isn't meant to be here.

Densetsu
He probably doesn't know it, but it's the name of a very good Japanese restaurant around the Dallas, Texas area. Rather small area though, so it's only number 10. The word roughly translates to "tradition" or "folklore".
Sephiroth, Cloud Strife, and any other Final Fantasy character name.
Final Fantasy character names are almost always the first to go in any online game. No so much on forums though, which is why this is only Number 9.
Nathan Drake
We all know this guy, do I really need to say anything? I suppose I'll say for those that don't know, it's the main character of the "Uncharted" series of video games.
Another World
Plenty of video games and movie are set on or reference other worlds. It's also a direct name of a game that was not-very popular. His avatar use to be the same icon the game has on PSN.
Charmander and any other Pokemon name.
Why? Because Pokemon.
Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, etc
Yea, the brony craze. Still, for fans of the show (I'm neutral on it), those are really freaking lucky-to-get names.
Vulpes Abnocto
Means roughly "fox from night". He uses a fox avatar.... or use to, anyway... What the hell happened to this guy?
Costello
Yea, the main admin here. Not so much lucky as much as here-first, but with Lou Costello (from the Abbott and Costello fame), Elvis Costello, and others, it's a lucky username pick for anyone that appreciates the older entertainment.
Link
What real gamer doesn't love Legend of Zelda games? And if you don't, well then go back to Call of Duty.
And of course,
The Catboy
He's a cat, he's a boy, he proves both on numerous occasions, we all love him, and he's got a lucky and lazy username to boot.

EDIT: This list was freaking hard to make. You'd be surprised at how many had no avatar at all that otherwise would have qualified (over 50, probably). I'm open to suggestions for better ones. Just keep in mind, no numbers/symbols in the names, and they have to not have a default avatar.

Re: No.7 - do you not realise Another World is a direct reference to a game called.....Another World?

Yes. Their avatar use to be it.

EDIT: Not sure how I forgot to mention that, added it.

Her.

It's just that your reasoning doesn't really mention it, and besides it's not exactly one of those games people rush to name themselves after.

He got sick of the childishness of this community as a whole and decided that raising sheep and wanking over reddit would be a better use of his time.

Meh, I did too for a while. That maybe 2-3 month duration where I made no posts at all.

Then I came back. Pretty much when you're life is comprised of 90% medical serious stuff and 8% work/college, you really need that other 2% to be goofy/random/fucked-up shit. These forums work beautifully for that purpose, even with all the uh..... bathetic (not a typo of pathetic) insulting nature of a certain supervisor....

EDIT: So wait, if Vulpes technically left, why isn't he a "Former Staff" like Another World is?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
