I'm a new Turbografx collector. Welcome Me !

[esteban]

I welcome back one of pcefx's wayward sons...

[DQ187]

I want to be nice, and welcome you... But I feel like before I may even finish posting this response, you may have left again already.


I suggest if you want to make it here,  you just be more apart of the community. Be proactively posting, not just in the FS sections.

You will upset members with the "Look at me posts" and overall the community dislikes collectards.

I hope you make it. Its always nice to actually have meaningful members join. May your time here hopefully be longer this time.

Thanks!   I came back to get some help with some mods but plan to stay and try for some more high scores and things. I havnt even checked the for sale section and im not really buying many new games and things right now as im saving to move outta my apartment and get a house but i may check it out at some point.

I welcome back one of pcefx's wayward sons...

Looks like I've been missed. So nice to know ya'll cared and searched for me!

You're too needy. Go away.

[wildfruit]

I'm still waiting for este to unwrap himself as promised.

[DQ187]

You're too needy. Go away.

You guys were so talkative while I was gone and now that I'm back i get "you're too needy" and "cry baby".  You're gonna have to try harder than that. I expected better quality douchebaggery from people around here. Step your game up!

We talked about you because you're an asshole. Your presence is not needed for that conversation, so you coming back is, if anything, a damper on the discussion.

I can't expect this to mean much to someone who clearly craves attention very very badly, but there is good attention and bad attention. When your mom beat you with her hot water bottle every day and said the reason why African babies are going to hell is because you touch yourself, see, that's the "bad" kind, even though, yes, feeling anything is better than feeling nothing. To earn the "good" kind you'll have to engage the rest of society on a more meaningful level than, "LOOK AT ME!!! LOOK AT ME!!!".

It works best if you practice it in "real life". Then the forum version comes naturally. So, go away for like a decade.

Grow the fuck up. I've never been an asshole to anyone who didn't deserve it and act like one themselves. Your little speech just shows how childish you are but go on, I'm all ears, babble on like a dumbass and try and impress your little forum buddies.

And you guys wonder why people leave here? You feed on negatively and stupidity, kinda sad really.

Look, man.  It's a generational problem.  I see lots of guys like you on Reddit who really enjoy spending time spreading their collection out on the floor and taking pictures to post with titles like "My collection so far.  How am I doing?"  There's nothing wrong with that.  But that stuff just doesn't resonate with us older guys.  For us it's even a little bit cringe-worthy because that's just not how our generation rolls.  That doesn't mean that we're right and you're wrong, but there are a lot of us here who are old enough to have played the Turbo back in its heyday, and we're not generally going to give you positive feedback when you post that kind of stuff.  If you want to hang out here and do your thing, then you're just going to have to accept that there's going to be some blowback from us old farts.  Honestly the best thing you can do is just tune it out.

I can attest to this! I am a newer member here, and have really enjoyed my time. Some people even have nice things to say about me.

[o.pwuaioc]

Isn't the guy 30?

[CrackTiger]

Isn't the guy 30?

If so, then he was one or two years old when the PC Engine launched.

He might've been psyched about the Dreamcast launch though.

[ginoscope]

I think Jibbajaba is on to something I only been here about a year but I actually played turbo when it came out.  I have no desire to show what I have even though I have some cool things. 

I enjoy CrackTigers witty response and Zeta is just Zeta.  You just wait for him to respond to stupid post.

[Koop]

You guys know me so well it's uncanny!

Jesus Christ this shit is too much for me. 

[PukeSter]

I'm 17, probably youngest member on the board and was excited for the Wii's launch.

Yet I don't splurge on a collection and enjoy the PCE for what it is. With 85 games cleared under my belt no less

What does that make me?

I don't mind the blow back and I expected it. There's no reason to be rude with nonsense though talkin about my mom and African babies. Shits ridiculous! im not not gonna stick up for myself. I'm not that Facebook guy. I posted a few pics of my Turbo and games when I first signed on like a year ago. I was introducing myself to the forum the same way I had on the few I go to.  Sorry if that rubbed people the wrong way. Just because alot of you grew up with the Turbo doesn't mean I'm not as into it as you guys. I grew up with lots of systems from nes to snes and so on. Turbo always eluded me. Same with Neo Geo.

I don't know anything about your mom or African babies.  I'm just telling you why some people weren't very welcoming.  If you want to talk Turbo, this is the place.  If you want to circle-jerk with other millennial collectards (and I'm not saying that you are), then Reddit is going to be the best spot.

Never messed around with reddit.  I'm always up for a good circle jerk tho!

+10 points, Jibbajabba 

He mistook you for Zeta.

DQ even by the title of your post you were asking for it. I don't have time to go back and read 10 pages of posts, but I will say read this.

That said, enjoy the forums.

I am pretty sure I still have the first handful of albums by the Circle Jerks.

Anyway, this thread is always going to inspire snarky posts.

So, really, the best thing is to simply play a game. Any game. Or, if you're too busy, read about something PCE/TG-16. Or listen to song from a game. Or look at some cover art.

Literally, anything connected to TG-16 beyond simply purchasing an item.

If you do this, then you are home.

Don't even post about your flirtations with PCE/TG-16.

Just know that you are home.

Home.

You know DQ you could post your collection over at the Neo forums.  It's common place over there.

He's had that covered since he got here.

Among his many Nintendoage Awards, he's the winner of "Complete Series Set for Earthbound". I did not make any of that up.

You know it! lol, I didn't make the award. Dont hate on Nintendo Age. It's a good place full of nice people.

I actually got a chuckle out of that 1 myself but it's like 1 of the only sets I actually qualified for besides Tales of series as Im not a complete set kinda guy. I've never really set out to complete any system sets or whatever. Having a complete nes or turbo set never appealed to me cuz I know there would be alot of games I would never play.

NintendoAge definitely sucks, but at least you're not a completist, so you got that going for you.

Pretty much! And on top of all those amazing perks you mentioned, you also get nifty icons under your posts! (See bottom right in pic!) And medals next to your name depending on how many unique positive transactions you've had there! Hooray! Shiny!!

There's nothing wrong with that.  But that stuff just doesn't resonate with us.

This.

There are literally dozens of other avenues for communities and communication filled with people who share this possession over played mindset, and PCEFX  happens to be one of the few that does not. Why do some insist on trying and force and shoehorn in this mentality into a group of people who obviously do not share the same opinion, especially when it's one of the minority that does not want that culture here.

It sucks to say, but there's a lot of stubborn people here, and heck, I'd say it's stubborn in its own right to not venture outside of such a specific hardware manufacturere - so what do you expect! The fact is, if you want to flash your collections somewhere, this is probably a place that will get more of a negative reaction than a positive one, where most other sites would collectively ejaculate - it brings the PCEFXers tears to see so games imprisoned behind a wall of backlog for the sake of vanity.

Then the whole thing derails into this shit slinging competition. I'd hope what everyone is saying is be modest about your game collection, be thankful you can play these awesome games you have, and be respectful of the culture and peoples affinity towards the hive mind ant-collectard mindset of this forum

I have the Jive Turkey Award for calling people collectards.

You guys are assuming I'm somethin I'm not. I agree with you. I don't have a possession over played mindset. I play my games evryday. It's not like I went out and bought everything yesterday to show off. I've been building my little library for over 25 years. This is all I'm going to say on the matter because there's no point in trying to relay to you guys who I am when you already have your minds made up. Now let's all go play some games!

[CrackTiger]

It'a amazing that nintendoage has imaginary tokens for collectards to collect, which they earn from collecting real games.

Was it on nintendoage that some was selling a repro or homebrew game with "limited edition" homemade magnets or something? And people were buying multiple copies to try to complete the "set" that someone made in their basement and the actual game was an afterthought?

[SignOfZeta]

WTF is a "complete series set" for Earthbound?

Also, having never been to that forum (I've only heard stories. About 300 of them.) I had no idea the forum itself so actively encouraged collectard insanity. Now I can confidently say that it isn't just the people, it's the place.

Also, "Don't hate on Nintendo Age" followed by a fucking emoticon is seriously inflamitory speach. I'm not going to say I hope he shoots himself in the foot cleaning his Zapper collection or anything but...that sure would be remarkable, wouldn't it? Because it impossible? That's what I find funny about that joke anyway.

[CrackTiger]

Does everyone lose their "Complete Earthbound Series Set" award when a new game is released, or do they just create an all new tier of Earthbound collecting award?

[SignOfZeta]

That probably hasn't happened once since these jerks started collecting. The last game was for GBA.

Is there a Megaman or Sonic one though? You'd be constantly running to the store buying shitty games to keep your badge!
