I think i was 10. I had just gotten my Kindle Fire and my dad (a computer geek) showed me the magic of apks.. Being bored i looked up fun apks cam across emulators in android and researched a bit. Soon enough i had them on my linux PC ( i also knew how to use command line at 10) and my newly hacked wii.

Awesome! I first learned of them while watching someone's Pokemon Emerald walkthrough. I saw a mouse flash across the screen and saw he was playing within a PC program! I did some research, and found he was using something called an emulator! A while later, I got a Supercard DSonei, one of those DS flash carts. It was from here that I forayed into emulation and learning how it works.
Hey look! Someone around my age that likes retro gaming! Cool! Welcome to the temp and you will definitely enjoy your stay!
Hey there! Nice to meet you!

Yep ive been a computer nerd almost since around 10. I know basic HTML and am starting to learn Python. I love emulation but also had some legit retro systems such as my N64 my PS1 my PS2 and my Gameboy color pikachu edition. Actually those playstations and gameboy were my dads but i still played with em alot. And i loved to play pokemon red, and Super Mario Bros. 3

Ah, you're a computer nerd, too! I've learned some programming languages too, namely Lua, Batch, and some Python. As for original systems, I wish I owned a PSP and PS2 at the least, ahaha. It's cool that you have so many legacy systems!

    Usually when such a big title leaks the Temp will be the first to report about it (going off of historical reports here, Pokemon SV being the latest one I can recall seeing pop up here)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
