Honesty as a sega kid, I wish things were different and we did get a true successor to the Dreamcast. To be fair though, I wasn't the biggest fan of the Dreamcast when it first came out when I played Sonic Adventure at a Kmart Dreamcast kiosk at the age of 10. (I was stupid and though the game was too different from the Genesis games I was used to playing so I didn't like it at first. That all changed when I got the game on the Gamecube at the age of 15 lol.) It's a shame Sega did too many things that ultimately hurt them in the end.

I get stressed out if there's lots to do at work. Just today I got a bit stressed since I had three coworkers come up right when we only had three minutes left to get tags from me. I was in the middle of getting things closed out, but since they came over at the last minute I had to rush and hurry up to get things done. I kind of snapped at my coworker a bit since he said "well now you've got a bit of a line." Bro, I know lol. I usually don't snap like that but today I was already a bit cranky.

I absolutely love the world of ROM hacking and fan games! I'm part of the Sonic hacking community, I'm a judge in the Sonic Hacking Contest and this will be the third year in a row that I get to be a judge. I'm a tech member on Sonic Retro as well, since I have vast knowledge of how the 8-bit Sonic games work. I also like to play Pokemon rom hacks from time to time too, but I've only dabbled in Pokemon ROM hacking a little bit.

I believed that my dad would get a ticket if I left the overhead light on in the car. :V Turns out you can't get a ticket, it was just a lie he told me. Apparently lots of parents do this though, I've read on Reddit that quite a few people fell for this as a kid too lol.

Thankfully I have not been a victim of a scam. One of my coworkers almost fell for a scam once, but I helped him not fall down that rabbit hole by informing him to block the person on Facebook. He got a message from a good looking woman on Facebook, their conversation started out fine but then she started asking him for gift cards and I told him to block them immediately because that's a huge red flag.

I never cosplayed one of my favorites, I have however cosplayed as one of the Youngsters from the Generation 1 Pokemon games! I cosplayed as the "Hi I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!" youngster when I went to a convention in 2018. I had a sign that had the line from the game on it in a text box that was based on the text box from the English generation 1 games that my wife made for me.

As someone who believes in the paranormal, I loved hearing about Robert the Doll as well as Annabelle. Have you guys heard of the Sallie House? It was documented on the early 90's show called Sightings and Ghost Adventures/ Buzzfeed Unsolved also talked about the house. Legend has it that a young girl passed away in the house, she was brought to the house who was occupied by a doctor who thought she had appendicitis, so he gave her anesthesia but cut into her before it could kick in and she started screaming and bled to death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sallie_House

I have to go with Rally's/Checkers. They have the best fries ever, with only Arby's curly fries coming close. I like their chicken and burgers as well so I'd be content with only eating their food if I had the choice.

My wife and I just started watching the Fallout series. We both like it so far, but we've only watched the first episode. Definitely looking forward to continuing it for sure! We don't have much time to binge watch it though, which is usually what I do though.

I just started watching the series with my wife this afternoon, we only watched the first episode so far so I scrolled past the majority of the post. We're both enjoying it so far and will definitely continue watching it! I never played the games before, but I know a little bit of the franchise so I see things here and there that make me go "oh look, there's Nuke Cola!"

I've learned to not worry about the things I cannot control. Honestly I've been quite a angry person for a while, but the past few days I have felt more alive and less angry than I ever have. I did cut out Facebook of my daily routine a few weeks ago, and honestly I've felt much better now that I don't have to browse that toxic site! Perhaps that's the reason why I've been in a good mood lately lol.

I thankfully never done this myself! Though if I did happen to drop it in the toilet after I flushed, I would try and use the rice treatment to get the water absorbed as much as possible. But if I dropped it like The Blackangel did, then too bad it's getting thrown away and I'll get a new one lol. I already do not like looking in the bowl after I take a shit, I don't know why it's just one of those things that weird me out so I just close the lid after taking a shit lol.

For single player games, I have to say Laura Croft is my favorite single player video game character! She's awesome, and I loved the old school games. I never gave much attention to the reboot, I would like to give it a go at some point, but I know I'm not going to like it as much as I like the classics or the trilogy.

Nope I don't watch any music channels anymore. I don't have cable or satellite, I do have Hulu but I am not even sure if the music channels are part of the package I have. I used to watch MTV and VH1 when I was growing up. I didn't have digital cable so I couldn't watch MTV 2, or Fuse. I never cared for rap music nor country growing up so I never watched BET or CMT.

Most of the consoles I own are retro. I own all the Sega consoles aside from the Master System, so that means I have four Genesis, a Sega CD, two Game Gears, 32x, Saturn, and Dreamcast. For the retro Nintendo consoles I own, they are a toploader NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy Advance. I own a Xbox, I don't consider the 360 retro just yet. I own a PS one, and two PS2s. I still think the Genesis is the best retro console, Sonic is better than Mario IMO.

I use my computer and TV more than my phone. I use my phone here and there to browse Reddit, and play Pokemon Go but not as often as I'm playing games on my consoles or watching Youtube on my TV.

I didn't burn CDs that often because back in the day I didn't have a computer. I remember going over to a few of my friends houses who did have computers and watching them burn mix cds. I had a friend back in the day give me a burned copy of Green Day's American Idiot, and I remember listening to it off and on growing up. I even found a burned Yellowcard Ocean Avenue CD once in the field down the street from my house when I was a teenager. It barely played though since it was super scratched up. :V

Nope I don't consider it a waste of time or money on games. To me it's a fun hobby and my favorite way to escape from the real world from time to time. I already accumulated lots of games from my childhood, and most of the games I get these days are from a retro game treasure subscription which I pay $40 monthly for. I think it's worth it though, especially if you like to collect and play retro games.

Just recently the emulator Delta made it's way to the app store, which is very unusual to see a emulator get added to the app store. This is great for those who don't have a jailbroken iPhone and want to play their favorite classic Nintendo games on the go. You can also airplay your phone to a smart tv and play old school games that way too if you want! I went ahead and downloaded the app the other day, I'm not sure if it's still listed on the app store or not. If you're into emulation and have a iPhone that you don't want to jail break to play old Nintendo games, you should download this app!

Last week my friend and I went to Big Lots and I noticed they had a Sonic the Hedgehog themed keyboard, headset, and mouse. I bought the last one, and I've been using the mouse and keyboard for the past week! Unfortunately the headset only plays audio in the left speaker, which is a shame since the microphone actually doesn't sound bad at all! I have a nice microphone however, so I don't really need to use the headset. The keyboard works great, and the keys feel great. It's a mechanical keyboard that has RGB so I can type in the dark. The mouse feels great and also has RGB. I think this set is no longer being sold online, it originally went for $40 but I got it for $20. Anyways do you own any computer peripherals based on a gaming franchise?

I have a few imported games myself! I bought Rockman 8 for the Sega Saturn from a Japanese seller on Ebay. It's much cheaper to get Japanese Saturn imports since the US games are so expensive. I also have a subscription to Retro Game Treasure and I get a import in every single box. I've got a few different Super Famicom games now like Super Donkey Kong 2 (Donkey Kong Country 2), Puyo-Puyo and a few Dragon Quest games too. I also have a few different GBA/GB games that are Japanese which is great since they're not region locked. (I have a action replay to play imports on my Saturn, and a cartridge converter to play Super Famicom games. I still need to mod my PS2 to play Japanese games, likewise with my Gamecube...)

Have you ever done any urban exploration before? For those not aware of what urban exploration is, it's the act of exploring abandoned locations. It could be buildings, bridges, trails, roads anything that's abandoned really! I've tried doing this back in 2016, but my wife and I couldn't find our way into the building that I wanted to explore. Plus we decided to try and check out the other building behind it but we heard music playing, and while she was taking pictures of the scenery we noticed a guy watching us from one of the broken out windows. I heard a train whistle and we weren't too far from the tracks so I wanted to wait around and watch the train go by but it must have been on another track since it never passed us. Then I heard the music again, and noticed the same guy come walking around the corner with another guy and a woman. They all three had back packs, and one of them had a boom box. I think they were just train hoppers or homeless people, since they didn't say a word when they walked past us. I've been wanting to try and find other places to try and explore, but we don't have many places around here. This was all in East St. Louis and that's a sketchy area, so I don't really want to go back there. :V

I want forums to be the primary place people hang out online again. Discord really isn't a great place to get information and gather, because you still have to rely on outside websites like Google Docs to keep things organized. Plus it's difficult to locate old posts, at least now you can actually search for keywords in direct messages. Also I want frosted tips to come back in style too, I was never allowed to have them growing up as a kid lol.

Mine is my complete in box copy of Knuckles Chaotix. My wife got me it for my birthday way back in 2010, long before the price of the game went up. She got it for $40 on Amazon of all places. According to price charting, the game goes for $254 complete. As a die hard Sonic fan, I will never sell this especially since Sega has yet to re-release the game on any other platform. (It was released on Gametap in 2007 but that's the only other time it's been re-released on any official platform.)

I hope we get remasters of The Last Revelation, Chronicles, and The Angel of Darkness. (Especially that last one because the game really isn't that great to begin with and I think a remaster can redeem it.) Since the first three games got the remaster treatment, it's only fair these three get it as well. As for the trilogy, I think they're fine and though the games are almost 20 years old now they still hold up and look good IMO so they don't really need remasters IMO. Plus you can play them on your Series X/S since they're backwards compatible. (Or at least I know Anniversary is, that's how I played the game. I own the trilogy on PS3 though too.)
