I can't really think of any TBH, I don't get all butthurt if I get a gift I don't like so nothing really sticks out or comes to mind. I do have an uncle who comes every christmas who mainly gets me super cheapo dollar store items, like a tiny foldable alarm clock or a cheap pen set, but then I actually used both of those a fair bit after I got them so they weren't really "bad" gifts, just stuff I wouldn't ask for normally.

Lol I bought my girlfriend really expensive diamond earrings one year and in return she got me underwear, undershirts, and socks I kid you not. Needless to say that she's now my ex for completely unrelated reasons.

That's why my fiancee and I always set a low monetary limit when getting each other gifts, so neither of us will end up feeling "cheap" when we open em up.

'Worst gift' I ever received were duplicates but got them refunded so no big deal.

Most of the time family members just ask me what I want or give me vouchers or money.

That said, I can recall a customer where I work who had a gift which broke but because they had no receipt or box we couldn't do anything about it.

Every year I get some clothes and/or shoes but I always end up needing them so I'm not disappointed for long

its worse for me my birthday is 3 days after Christmas and often my gifts say "merry birthday" on the tag(s)

so this one year for "birthmas" i got a box of cinnamon toast crunch and a pack of kool-ade burst (i had asked for a rc car) . . . as if that was not grand enough i got sent to my room without dinner because i refused to share my kool-ade bursts with my little sister

The worst Christmas gift I ever gotten, sniff, was getting a copy of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Jingle all the Way. Wahhh. :cry:

Cue Depressing Music. Then after Jingle Bells.

A 20 cigs pack of Marlboro.
It was secret santa in a huge shared house (36 peoples) with 10$ limit as a rule. the girl that picked me up didn't know me for long. She thought that since I was a smoker, cancer would be a cool gift. -_-

My stupid ex once bought me an XXL bath robe for me for christmas. She was an XXL. I was only a large.

She basically bought it for herself knowing that it was going to be far too big for me and it just wasn't my type of thing.

Kinda like Homer buying Marge a bowling ball.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjCivnt5t50
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
