I was planning to buy EZFA ($120, wasn't cheap back then since I couldn't even drive) and stumbled on the site looking for guides. I regret the purchase but not finding this site.

went away after I lost interest in DS, came back for 3DS and PC games.

If I remember right I wound up here via Google search quite a few times in 2008/09. I registered in '10 for reasons I don't know about because I never posted, I only recently started becoming an active member. But I never want to leave here.

Back when I had first gotten a CycloDS, I had no idea what I was doing with it. I had been asking questions and getting info on the official Team Cyclops forums, and it was working out alright, but it wasn't sufficient for asking about other flashcarts and whether or not I made the right purchase. Plus the community tended to be populated with elitist assholes.
While Googling my question, it's no surprise that I came to GBAtemp on the first page. I got my answers and much more, along with a handy selection of cheat files for certain game fixes, so I decided to bookmark the site.

I had been lurking for a while before joining, but I finally made an account when HeartGold and SoulSilver were released. I created the account to ask about the games, and the various translations already created (making my first post in Raqib12's translation thread). Been a happy and frequently active member ever since.

Yes, I am one of the dreaded PokeNoobs.

So many newbies here, see I wanted to come up with something other than "browsing the net for ds homebrew" which is the truth.

So my make believe story is I was browsing round the net for some hardcore porn as you do, suddenly the alarm went off and a pidgin flew into my windows it was in this moment of horny disbelief that i suddenly felt hungry so made myself a sandwich. When I finished my sandwich i went to play on my r4 but it was broke so searched for some more porn but I accidentally typed in the wrong web address and came here (no pun intended)

Was on a very long gone NDS roms site and I was a regular shoutboxer, then I asked something and Luke_c directed me here, after a few months of lurking, using the guides ect I finally made an account and now I'm the most important temper on this site ............ I joke

I was googling for ROM sites and I ended up here because of the database. Took me some time to realize it wasn't, but after I found that out I was like: "Huh, looks like this site has useful stuff, even though it has no ROMs." Lurked for a long time after that (I don't even remember how long) until I finally made an account.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
