Have I just made you lose the game?

I got a reply from the RGR staff about the character adding but it says I don't have permission to view the message. Why? how am I supposed to know what's in the message?

When you get around to answering the many questions that have been asked since you last replied here how long did it take?

It’s been around 5 1/2 years since I last replied to this. Shame on me

Since it’s been so long, I’m going to post a link to each post I’m replying to before I do my reply. I’m also going to group them based on year.

EX Palen : I’m not sure if your issue with column formatting is related to the line break issue but if it is, here’s the explanation. When you paste in HTML code that has any line breaks at all, the site renders those line breaks as br tags.

: I do still remember you being surprised that I haven’t played Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64. I still haven’t played it. With the ports / remasters of it, I have a lot of opportunities to finally do so but my busy schedule only gets busier with age and that has resulted into me playing video games less and less as I get older, unfortunately


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1311255
The Star of Music : Glad we got that figured out.

Uzar : My favorite meal to eat after a long day would probably be a steak. It’s one of the most satisfying meals that leaves me feeling full and content.

sonicbros : I don’t know enough about Peach and Daisey’s personalities to determine which I think is nicer. However, on the surface, Peach seems nicer so I’ll go with Peach.

Pokemonfan1000 : That issue was fixed years ago.

Staboo1616 : You’re right, the popularity of netplay on this site started to drop significantly but a lot of that drop was also due to the site’s traffic dropping. Just thinking about the RGR netplay makes me sad. It was the greatest feature for a retro gaming community. I, and many others, spent many hours netplaying various retro games. I remember introducing people to games they’ve never played before. I remember others, like Foxyman and Djinn, introducing me to new games in there. So many great memories participating in the many netplay tournaments.

I really hope to bring netplay back in some form some day. I know it still exists in the RGR but it requiring the RGR Plugin makes it far less used than in the past. I’m hoping that one day the browser version of RetroArch gets netplay support, that way anyone can participate without having to download or install anything.

123skeedoo : I’ve played too many games to be able to pick a worst game but I suppose it’d be something for the Atari 2600 like E.T.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1311727
supercool22 : Since I haven’t responded to this thread since 2016, I really can’t remember what the strangest question has been.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1312252
Pokemonfan1000 : I’m too shy and introverted to go out in public and advertise Vizzed like that


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1313654
Wingzamma : It seems like most USB controllers are supported in the Retro Game Room. I have yet to come across one that isn’t.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1313723
BolterX : Adding new consoles to Vizzed is a lot of work and in some cases, costs money. I’ve added a few systems since you posted this question. I also have a few systems I plan to add in 2022 since RetroArch supports a few systems currently not on Vizzed.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1313828
zanderlex : Voting for the Vizzed awards? Yeah I’ve been late to post the voting thread a few times over the past 6 years.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1314850
BolterX : I’m not familiar enough with Assassin’s Creed to be able to pick a favorite character.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1314878
Pokemonfan1000 : My favorite football team is the Green Bay Packers. I use to watch them religiously but in recent years, I’ve been too busy to watch football like I did in the past.


2017

https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1321682
janus : 2017 wasn’t any brighter than 2016 for Vizzed. In fact, the traffic would continue to drop until late 2019, which is when it finally started to increase (gradually). The traffic at the moment is 68% higher than the traffic at the lowest point for Vizzed, which was in 2019.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1322144
yoshirulez! : I’m pretty tolerant of all people.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1322153
thing1 : If I would’ve seen this when you posted this, I may have played Rocket League with you. I haven’t played it in years now though. It was a game I really enjoyed playing from time to time though.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1322600
yoshirulez! : Server transfers are always very difficult because there’s always incompatible settings, there’s always a lot of things that have to be manually set up, and since there’s always so many things to transfer, it’s sometimes overwhelming to make sure that everything gets transferred over properly, and that’s difficult when there’s literally millions of files to transfer.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1322684
Verkudara : I’m not sure if you’re talking about real stock or the old vizzed market stock. Either way, nope.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1322775
Lexatom : A username is definitely something to be taken seriously since it’s basically your online identity. When you change it, it’s like you’re becoming a different person. The only username I’ve considered changing mine to is my real name, which is David Auchampach; that just seems more professional. If I could do it over again (coming up with a username), I would’ve came up with one that didn’t have numbers in it (and the reason I chose to use a number was due to the fact that there were other Davideo’s online).


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1322777
legacyme3 : I was starting to think I’d never respond to this thread again. Thankfully, I finally got around to it.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1329515
Pokemonfan1000 : I prefer instrumental music, video game music, and the types of music you find in movie trailers (aka, Epic music). I usually only listen to music when I’m programing or studying and anything with lyrics is usually a distraction.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1329832
thetruemasterofgames : The majority of the site was coded by me over the course of about 16 years. Literally 1000s of hours have been spent doing so.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1330833
Momo Aria : If VIzzed was a video game, it’d be an MMORPG. I actually once started making an RPG for RPG Maker 95 where you live on an island town named Vizzed Ville and the characters in the game were based on users on the site. I never finished it and I had plans on remaking it for Flash but that never happened.

I’ve had so many dreams, very few of them have ever seen the light of day though.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1332810
gamerforlifeforever : My favorite racing game of all time is Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. I loved just about everything about that game. It consisted of playable SEGA characters, had courses based on SEGA franchises, and of course had some awesome music from SEGA games. When you get good enough in that game, and have unlocked Expert mode, the game is so fast paced and I love it.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1335874
AuroVee : I came up with the Tour de Vizzed idea while watching the Tour de France in 2011. I loved how that racing competition lasted for nearly a month and had awards and “jerseys” that the racers could earn each day.

I think I ended up using all of the Jersey ideas that I came up with. I liked the idea of having 4.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1336179
janus : At the time of your post, finances were doing terrible. I was so far in debt back in 2017. Things are getting better now that I have an IT job but Vizzed still isn’t earning nearly enough to do it full time. I had really thought that I’d be making a full time income off of Vizzed again by now but it might be a few more years.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1336189
solia8 : When you say classic arcade, you probably are referring to arcade games from the 80s? I’m not sure what my favorite would be but a few that would be high up on the list include: Pac-Man, Bubble Bobble, Galaga and Donkey Kong.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1337013
Diddy3492 : Some of the codes got claimed for various reasons (usually relating to hacking). I can give you a refund. Please PM me how much Viz you spent on it.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1337901
TouchMaster97 : I’m assuming the Adblock Premium items no longer has issues?


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1338699
m0ssb3rg935 : I’ve considered learning a 2nd language a few times in the past but ultimately chose not to due to not having the time for it and also just not having the greatest memory. I’m so amazed by people who do learn a 2nd language. I really don’t think I’d have it in me to be able to do that.

If I were to learn a language though, it’d either be Japanese or Hebrew. Japanese because of so many Japan exclusive games and for the dream of going to Japan some day. Hebrew so that I could read The Bible in its native language.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1338901
PoptartSlayerXD : There is a daily limit on how much Viz you can earn from referrals. There’s a daily limit on every time of action and this is to help prevent abuse.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1339383
yoshirulez! : The underdog of VIzzed? I might’ve been able to answer this years ago but at the moment, no one is coming to mind.

Between coffee and tea, I’d pick tea. I don’t drink either but I’d go with tea just because it’s a lot healthier.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1339451
TouchMaster97 : When you’d earned enough CP for an action, you start to learn more CP and Viz from that action. So for example, once you’ve earned 100 CP from visiting the site, you’ll start to earn 1.25 more Viz and CP from visiting the site. And by default, you earn 1 CP per a day just for visiting the site. These multipliers apply to all actions. Here’s how much you can earn based on the different milestones:
100+ CP :: CP & Viz * 1.25
1000+ CP :: CP & Viz * 1.5
10000+ CP :: CP & Viz * 1.75
100000+ CP :: CP & Viz * 2

There are currently no rewards for doing an action consecutively but that is something I always wanted to do with an award system. For example, visiting the site 100 days in a row would grant you an “award” (or “trophy” or an “achievement”).


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1342257
Pacman+Mariofan : Most people call me David and David is what I prefer. I just don’t feel like I’m a Dave, that seems like a name for someone much older and my inner age is far younger than my actual age.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1342654
greenluigi : I don’t believe I ever had plans of adding 2 new banners but I did add 1 new banner since your post, which is the gray banner, and that’s for Vizzed veterans. More recently, I have considered making a 4th banner for much older veterans (aka “Super Veterans”) where you have to be a member of the site for 8 or 10 years instead of the 5 year requirement for the current gray banner.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1347222
zanthehero : I don’t remember how to use Gameshark codes with the RGR Plugin for PlayStation games. It’s something you can look up on the Mednafen site.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1347787
RadekTetsuo87 : The disc is part of the game, you just have to click the swap disc button.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1352725
Affan : My daughter’s birthday is September 13th and my son’s is May 13th. We use to have bigger birthday parties for them years ago but for some reason, after covid, they just haven’t been very big anymore. Usually we just invite family members.

In recent years, we’ve taken our kids to Mall of America for their birthdays. When we go there, we usually go to LEGO Land and do the pick-a-brick (my favorite thing to do there) and we also go to the arcade that they have (which I actually made a video of here).

https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1353357
TheFadedWarrior : I really have no opinions or thoughts on that topic. For me personally, I’ve never smoked marijuana and never plan to.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1353361
vizzy900 : Is there even that many GameCube models? I guess I’d go with the original model as being my favorite.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1354625
KillerLatias : The Battle Arena was never automated. It was just a role play forum where users role played using their Vizzed stats. I did have plans on making an automated Battle Arena for Vizzed. This has been something I’ve wanted since 2005 but it just hasn’t ever happened and probably never will.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1354628

Q : Your question is now making me question my own existence. Thank you, Q.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1356433
TheFadedWarrior : Are traps gay? I’m not sure what kind of traps you’re talking about. If you’re talking about the traps in the Vizzed GO game, then no. Unless you’re a male who catches a male, then yes.

Uzar : Did someone say I thought the earth was flat? Nope, don’t believe it.

Sk1tzFr3n1k : While I do like fighting games, I’m usually not that good at them.

Minuano : Vizzed rhymes with quizzed. Replace qu with v and that’s how to pronounce it.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1358813
zanderlex : I will respond to this thread someday (now).

I’m not sure what you mean.

I’ll eventually fix it.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1359098
Furret : I don’t remember what I did for the holidays in 2018 lol. Usually my wife and I spend Christmas Eve with my family at our house and then Christmas Day with her family at their house.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1362267
tgags123 : If I hadn’t created Vizzed, I might’ve pursued game design more and potentially worked on developing indie games. Either that or engineering of some sort.


2019

https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1362274
zanderlex : I’m sure we’ll have a team TdV again someday. I’m not sure if it’ll ever be automated like I had planned but I’m sure we’ll do a team competition once again at some point.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1363001
thing1 : It does, yes.

I’m not sure what’s next for Vizzed at the moment.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1364781
Furret : I’ve had a few people claim that they were familiar with Vizzed but I’m not so sure how truthful they were. I was once part of a Facebook group that consisted of people that I knew in real life and a friend of mine had a friend that was part of that group and they knew who I was (because of Vizzed) when I joined that group.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1373960
SonicOlmstead : My favorite memory on the Minecraft server was probably the Super Mario Bros competition I hosted a few years ago. I had a lot of good memories staying up late playing Minecraft with various users, which included Mrfe, Pokefreak (aka Fyredove), and so many others. Those 2 stick out since they were on a lot.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1375018
peezleward : I have a good staff at the moment but it’s not as big as it use to be so less can get accomplished compared to in the past. I’m not sure if I’d ever hire someone to help code the site, I’ve had too many issues with that in the past.


2020

https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1376708
Blacksmith84 : Neo Geo games aren’t too big. The reason for not getting them added is mostly related to the compatibility with the current emulators. If I was able to get them added easily, I would have already. PlayStation 2 isn’t on here because of legal reasons and because of how big they are in file size (and because the RGR Plugin doesn’t support them).


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1378042
LuckyCharms : I’ll respond with the same response as above. Probably a game for the Atari 2600, such as E.T.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1379063
legacyme3 : Nope and it was good to see you while you were still around. Very unlikely you’ll return again ☹


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1379360
TheVideoGameGuy1 : I was part of a few forums back when I was in middle school and high school. I always loved the concept and especially loved the Acmlm Board system. At that time, I was also getting into web design, so I eventually pursued getting my own forum and the site has just expanded since.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1380100
jap013077 : Not much of a question but I also like the LEGO games, especially LEGO Worlds. I will someday get a PS4.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1381202
cid789 : My favorite game for the Xbox 360 was probably Halo 3. Overall, it was my favorite Halo and crazy enough, Microsoft just finally took down the matchmaking servers for that game (about 2 weeks ago), which lasted around 15 years.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1381280
Razer87 : In order to receive the birthday Viz, you have to visit the site on your birthday.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1381709
becerra95 : A talent that I possess that I don’t usually tell people about might be my ability to push myself. I might not be the strongest person physically, but I have a lot of mental toughness, which has helped me push myself through some exhausting feats (I’ll name a few). I’ve worked on the site for 24 hours straight once, with only about an hour worth of breaks. I’ve worked out on my exercise bike for around 12 hours straight once (burned like 6000 calories). I’ve also had to work on the site for 100 hours a week for nearly 2 months straight (this was back when the site was getting hacked and DDoS attacked daily), which was very exhausting and resulted into me getting sick (from the stress and lack of sleep) when it was all done.

I also have pretty good reflexes and can pay attention to a lot of things going on at once, which is probably why I’ve always been so dominant at the Bomberman competitions on this site. But that’s something that most people on this site already know about (but many in real life may not).


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1382634
Pacman+Mariofan : The site is still sort of undergoing a “redesign”. I’ve been in the process of migrating all of the site to a completely new framework, that I built from the ground up, for the past 6 or 7 years now. I hope to finalize it all by the end of this year.

I still do all of the coding myself.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1383499
gameface138 : The “arcade” was a feature that was discontinued not long after I created the Retro Game Room. At this point, it’s pointless to make it available again since all of those games were made in Flash (and flash has been discontinued).


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1385314
Minuano : While it’s kind of too late to respond to these question in a Podcast or stream, I do love that idea. It’d give me an opportunity to really expand responses.

classgame : You should’ve given me a screenshot showing the issue you had.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1390348
cafeman55 : I’m not into My Little Pony. My daughter watched it a few years ago and the couple of episodes I did see I thought were enjoyable.

I haven’t watched The Smurfs since I was a kid. That’s pretty cool.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1391340
TheFadedWarrior : I like the movie Gladiator but it’s really the only movie I’ve seen about gladiators.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1391350
cafeman55 : I’ve not heard of “101 Dalmation Street”.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1391401
classgame : It’s probably because you were a Site Staff member at that time and now you no longer are so you no longer have access to staff exclusive features.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1391432
SonicOlmstead : One of my favorite video games to play with my family is probably Minecraft. It’s universally liked by people of all ages and so it’s a perfect game to play as a family. When we all play, we generally take on different roles. We also enjoy playing the Halo games, specifically the campaigns (most of them support 4 player co-op) and firefight.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1393841
Minuano : I’m not sure what kind of man I’d classify myself as. I guess the assets of a woman I’d appreciate most is their empathy and willingness to express it. I’m not really sure though, it was the first thing that came to mind.


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1393868

https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1394228
classgame : Placing the TdV thread was a complete accident. I didn’t even realize I did that but someone must have moved it for me. It’s not the first time I’ve done it. I usually reference the previous TdV threads by going to those threads and then making the new thread based on it. Since those threads usually exist in the Treasure Can after they’ve been closed, it results into me sometimes creating the new thread from within the Treasure Can. I need more sleep ☹


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1394303
Furret : Which game?


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1394545
classgame : Can you show me a screenshot of what you’re seeing?


https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=33210&pl=1394613
SonicOlmstead : Wow, your question was conveniently timed perfectly. Almost feels like we set that up on purpose to be the last post I respond to.

It took me maybe 4 or 5 hours to respond to all of these posts and I did so over the course of about 3 days. I honestly thought it’d take me much longer, but I suppose I did give brief responses to some of the questions. Either way, I’m so very glad to be finally caught up

Davideo7: First of all I didn't know I was considered site staff at the time (which is odd I never once applied for that)

Also SonicO moved the thread to the General Chat because he saw my post

and about the screenshots, how about a video demonstration instead (I should have addressed the entire site staff)




I basically decided to let the character adding go

Davideo7 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-pf-A44cX8
here it is.

Are you planning to get the Steam Deck?

My God I haven't been online here in ages. Kinda surreal lol.

Uh.....how have things been?

What video game do you have the most hours on?

How often do you stare at the wall not realizing you’re staring at a wall just lost deep into your thoughts until you snap into reality and notice that you’re staring at a wall? Why were you staring at a wall?

What is your biggest achievement and why? Do you have any goals that you are currently striving towards at all?

Do you have an idea on what the oldest version of Windows that could use Vizzed is? I don't know if older versions would have any difference just using the site and posting and was curious what your thoughts on it.

Do you think this stats page will ever be fixed or is the new stats page the only one to use now? It was cool being able to see how many total posts/threads were being made each day but that hasn't worked in a couple years.

Hello,
i have stopped playing in this site long time ago. When i came back and tried to play any new game that i did not play before i leave. It asks me a series of questions if i have got the game in a good form, rate it , and if i am willing to trade it or no.My question is there is a way to play those games like @Shadow the hedgehog without being asked those questions?

ranu : Sorry, I know this is David's thread, but I thought I might be able to help you.

Is the game you are trying to play in the VGR (VideoGameRoom), for example, one of these 3? 
https://www.vizzed.com/games/shadow-the-hedgehog-gc-gamecube-68868-game 
https://www.vizzed.com/games/shadow-the-hedgehog-xb-xbox-68215-game 
https://www.vizzed.com/games/shadow-the-hedgehog-ps2-playstation-2-67043-game

If it is the games listed in the VGR aren't playable, they are more like informational pages.

If it isn't one of those 3, could you link me the game? None of the games in the RGR (RetroGameRoom), as far as I am aware, shouldn't be asking those questions. 

Do you have any regrets regarding Vizzed? Is there anything that you would go back and change if given the opportunity to?

I've seen on discord it's said the past 2 days that you've been playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake so what do you think of it so far? Though I assume by the time you get a chance to reply to the all the questions again you'll likely have finished it so what did you think of the whole thing? I assume you would of heard of this but in case you haven't I'll put this as a spoiler in case you haven't finished it when you see this.

Davideo7 : have you watched avatar the last arbender? on Netflix, its a pretty good series who is your favorite character?
