Congrats! Hope you enjoy your time with the new job, been thinking of getting into data science myself with the new Google programs.

Not currently in any position to donate (thanks, Obama), but that external hard drive with all the game files sounds pretty nifty. I've always dreamed of claiming that "Top Donor" status on the front page but still waiting for those rich days of the future for that to happen.

Cool to see we already have a few donations toward the cause, though. I have full faith this will pan out and will be glad to see it. Thanks for not giving up, all.

I'd assume a future post will explain all this, but is this to say the upgraded RGR Plugin won't require a download and be 100% functional just in the browser? Or will it still run more or less like what we're used to now?

OH, I was thinking the save files were stored on the site for some reason, nice to know they're local and I haven't lost my progress!

Sad times indeed for the RGR. Tt was actually a java player that I first used when I discovered this site, as I was weary of downloading any files at the time lol. I hope it doesn't cause a decrease in site traffic too much, especially with the boards picking back up and the Music Room being unmatched on the interwebz.

Hope to see the Plugin's return some day, though. It just feels better to play retro games here than your own emulator.

EX Palen : Appreciate the response. I suspected as much but the extra details for confirmation is always nice. Thankfully I didn't get THAT far in my playthrough but it'll still be a shame to lose that file. I had even gotten Roy to level up a few points in Strength, which the internet says is unheard of lol. Here's hoping for an eventual port to Switch since Fire Emblem has picked up in popularity

EX Palen : Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

I'm curious about the fate of the plug in, though. If we have a game going on right now, is our save data somewhere in that hidden AppData folder? Like will I be able to continue where I left off either in a new java-based emulator or is my data tied to the flash plug in on this site?

Or should I just switch focus to completing this game before year's end? lol

DrRM : Nevermind seems either the profile thing is a very recent development, or I got lucky when I sent it a couple days ago. Doesn't seem to work at the moment. Didn't understand that before

cid789 : Sent the viz, but another message here says profiles aren't working? It let me send, though. Did you get it? No rush, just making sure.

cid789 : Yup, I've entered a code or two in my day lol. Most of them being event Pokemon but yeah, I'm familiar with the eShop retrieval process.

Very much appreciated! I assume we're using zander's posted rate here, so 200k Viz? Will send it with affirmative reply.

cid789 : Was looking for maybe a $10 or $20 USD North American Nintendo eShop card to help pay for my upcoming online renewal without bankrupting my Viz balance lol

I've been forcing myself to keep pretty busy with non-computer things lately, but it seems I've picked a great time to randomly click the old Vizzed bookmark.

This looks absolutely fantastic! Music Room has always been my favorite sleeper feature for the site. Even with so many of my favorites purchased physically on amazon japan I still find myself often streaming gaming music online.

Usually I'm not a fan of revamped things for mobile as it typically just means things end up looking big and blocky, but you've definitely made everything on this site the outlier. New interface is pleasing and user-friendly.

zanderlex : Wow, this is pretty cool of you. Seems I'm late to the party, though. Anything left as far as Amazon or eShop cards?

Haven't used the RGR in a while, but this is sad news indeed. Appreciate the update, and look forward to the site continuing to grow again

zanderlex : But... it's not. They've announced they'll be closing a couple hundred stores worldwide, but they've every intention to still be in business at least through the end of this year and see if sales pick up with the next generation of consoles next holiday season.

I don't think any of my local locations within at least 100 miles will be closing anytime before then. If the company itself were already liquidating, I'd be seeing similar sales around here, and online as well. All I've seen were your standard Black Friday sales the other month.

zanderlex : Cool, I appreciate it.
But that's crazy. Only time I saw a GameStop go out around here was when the owner just didn't want to renew the lease for the building. They just transferred all their inventory to the closest store. Surprised yours put products on sale instead of just hauling their inventory elsewhere.

Well I don't have a ton of Viz, relatively speaking.

But I'm still interested in acquiring Luigi's Mansion 1 (3DS) and/or 3 (Switch). Pretty much bought everything else I could hope to play over the holiday lol. And got Kakarot pre-ordered.

For books, I'd be interested if anyone could find a good-priced copy of the English 3rd volume of the Steins;Gate manga. Apparently those are all out of print now, but I recently got the first, and Books-a-Million still has the 2nd (for now).

Not sure what good Viz prices would be, but can also do PayPal depending on the deal.

supernerd117 : Dang... when was Shenmue part of a humble bundle?

Well, I don't have any recording equipment anyway, but surprised at myself for being less than 70% of the way toward both post and word requirements in nearly 10 years.

I just wanted to say a few things: It's hard to measure the exact impact anything has on your life, but this was my first social media board. I'm more so a filthy reddit user now but my experiences with Vizzed when I did (somewhat) actively participate in the boards was much more significant. You actually get a sense of interaction and talking with people here, rather than the generic online interactions of other sites.

I don't know if I'd call it my greatest memory, but definitely one of my most memorable was posting back and forth with another user (I think it was BNudge) in the Debate forum about whether .9 repeating actually equaled 1. This was about 8+ years ago (prob Spring 2011). We each claimed our Calc 2 teacher was responsible for our info but somehow arrived at different conclusions. I always liked geeogree for being the only one to jump in and agree with me, saying something like "I agree with you. .9 repeating = 1. That's just the way it is."

Anyway, don't mean to spam this threat. Just passing by (a rarer occurrence these days) and wanted to say something. I look forward to the completed video!

luigi25 : OK well apparently I just was lucky with the other ROM and didn't actually know what I was doing. Had the Sacred Stones in the right folder but was clicking to load it from the wrong folder... and said wrong folder is where I stored all the other ROMs lol. I was the problem (via hard drive partitioning; had everything in D drive). Moved the file and now it works
