I'm still salty that 3 was canceled out of spite.

We saw it as community, they saw it as free labor.

A song, actually. Silverstein wrote the Johnny Cash song "A Boy Named Sue. "

Intense looking dude or not, the man wrote "A Boy Named Sue." I'll show up for anything that can possibly become a Shel Silverstein appreciation post.

I think there was a change in the late 00s. At least beginning with vintage modified, Squier became very gigable

Maybe The Answer will actually be playable this time.

And P4 is probably a guarantee, especially since the original p3 and p4 were built in the same engine.

Same! It looks so, so good.

Plus. You know. Sends the chances of a P4G Reload through the roof.

Hi, I do console repairs and I've done a metric ton of NES. If that 72 pin connector was after market, it will probably wreck your games. If you still have your old connector, or if you can buy a used OEM connector, do the following:

get at least 70 percent iso alcohol and a toothbrush and scrub the connector pins. Next, take the old connector, boil it in water for half an hour and let it cool. Reinstall and test. Don't be afraid to hit the pins with iso again.

This will save the vast majority of oem connectors, and your games will thank you.

I've heard this referred to as price memory. There was a moment in time where market forces, legitimate or not, pushed instrument values through the damn roof. Retailers are loathe to let prices return to normal, and people that bought these instruments want to recover as much of their cash as possible. This happens in a lot of hobbies.

My oldest reddit account was 13 or 14 years old. I remember when reddit would go down several times a week. Growing pains are just part of the deal!
