This is not a best girl thread. This is a vidya heart ache thread.

why do you do this to me, anime?

why can't tsuyu be real? i want a cute frog girl gf

>tfw almost none of your physical PC games still install, either the installer is broken or the DRM is and you need to crack your legit game

>pirate GOG version in 2 minutes
>installs and plays with absolutely no problems

She is real in our hearts.

>replaying a game and feeling guilty because you could be spending that time playing a new game

This is what pisses me off the most about modern vidya

You have a point, but I rather try and support it legibly. Just pisses me off.

...

get a gf and get her to cosplay Tsuyu

>3dpd
This user was right

>remember Sim Golf
>go and download it to play
>screen resolution is fucking terrible
>uninstall

I just wanted to make shitty golf courses and then play on it.

This happened with me once with a copy of diablo 2, i had the serial written on the case but i had really shit handwriting so even i couldn't know what was written in there.

Always had to spend like 30 minutes changing the 1 with l or 9 with g until that shit worked, miraculously it always did.

Those were the good times.

You already supported it when you bought it years ago. No need to feel guilty about it.

sauce?

How many mountain peaks were on your course?

All those memoirs of my pokemon, gone. I haven't played a pokemon game since. My pokemon adventure is done, I just wish it didn't end this way.

>that doujin

>that gameboy game you spent hundreds of hours getting 100% on

Mustard race will always have more games in general than any console peasant. So I'm quite alright with the bad aspects of it. I always have options. Unlike consoles that red ring, offer backwards compatibility or cannot emulate properly.

>your save file has been corrupted

>that painful moment when you accidentally step on your PSP disc

FUCK YOU SONY THOSE DISC CASES WERE A FUCKING RETARDED IDEA REEEEEEEEE

it's okay, the battery would've shit itself and erased by the save anyway by now

Dark Dream was a really shitty monster.

maybe you have dyslexia

happened to my gitaroo-man lives game. decided to pirate it for a replacement.

Has anyone had trouble installing their older THQ/relic Dawn of War games? I sometimes get this "lighting effect" error, and would have to manual alter the .dll file for it to start.

>tfw you lend a PS3 game to cousin and, after not getting it back for 2 years, later find it under his sofa with the readable side on the dirty floor that was never cleaned in years
>disc looks dirty as fuck
>clean it
>realize there's not even a single scratch
>still reads fine
blu-ray anti-scratch coating feels good man

Not true, I still have my PokeBlue from the 90s. It still works.

Nintendium products is literally indestructible.

Holy fuck user im so so sorry for your loss...but the adventure never truly ends...you can start again from scratch, try to find the joy you had before...dont give up get back on that Rapidash or Arcanine and blaze a path of glory as a pokemon MASTER (god this is so autistic but I hope you feel better and try again Noone should have to be forced to quit because of an asshole)

>tfw little cousin deletes 100% metroid fusion save file

of course it still works, does the game still retain its save when you turn it off though?

>All those fucking Dreamcast PAL Jewel cases

I only have two that are intact out of the 13 or so games I own.

I'm surprised no one tries to make replica's, the only new ones you can buy are Chu Chu Rocket's and Sonic Adventures that were never sold, with everything stripped off because they were in such surplus in a lot of stores.

Also, they're like £60 for a pack of 8 or so. I'm sure you could chance buying like 30 Chu Chu Rockets for £2 each, but even then.

That actually sucks bro. I'd probably never play pokemon again after that too.

Should I read or watch Boku no hero Academia?

I've had the manga on my bookmarks for two years, waiting for a time to read it and then an anime came out, now that I've got the time, which is the better option?

>cart has 3 slots
>make copy of your save in all 3 slots just to be safe
>tell cousin to use just one slot
>all 3 are overwritten

I don't get why people mourn the loss of their 100% saves; it's not like you're going to play that file again. If anything, it just gives you an excuse to go back and play a game you loved all over again from the beginning.

Yes

do both

It's trash with a cute girl, that's it.

>did the same thing
>makes his own save
>deletes mine
>only file left his his

You can watch the anime, and if you like what you see you can read the manga. The manga is much further than what the anime covered so you will have to read if you want more after the anime

you're cousins a little shit

That would be true if games didn't lock many secret items/skills behind a massive grind or bullshit hard achievement. I actually enjoy using those to break the game.

>lose half saves on old PS3, with backups missing most of them
>ended up coping by knowing I still have 100% on those games on my trophy list
it's just nice to keep something about all the work you put in the game

True, if the watch battery in the cartridge dies, that's it for the save.

...

just fucking KILL me senpai

>Cousins want to start a new file

>Start downloading it
>Go on Cred Forums two days later
>First thread I see is about the servers being shut down today

Oh well, at least MGSV's multiplayer was shit

Anime is faithful to the manga, but might be slow. I'd still watch it before reading the manga to get invested with the character's voice you can hear inside you head while reading. The OST is pretty decent too.

just END it

I have a rage story, but will only type it if people want to read it, as just typing it causes me to be angry.

do it

These animated pages are awesome. To bad there isn't more of them.

YEah Do it I need to release some stress

The anime is just flasback sequences about 80% of the time.
Read the manga.

RELEASE THY ANGER IT SENPAI

You guys think you know pain huh?

I refuse to believe this happened. For my sanity's sake.

What the fuck?
Was he doing it just to piss you off?
That sucks user.

Why did your parents hate you so much? Did you bring born make then get married when they would have split otherwise?

Does this happen in the anime, or is this some really good fanart from a fanatic shipper

Who the fuck even does that to someone? Why are so many stories like this? Cousins aren't usually even the family members who see you enough to be that spiteful.

>Friend/Relative dies while I'm playing through a game
>Can't replay said game without remembering them

Sorry user, it happened. Deleted my ratchet and Clank, Def Jam, FFX, and whatever else I played at that time.

He was 4 maybe, little shit didn't know what the fuck he was doing.

The just didn't understand how important saves are. I assume they thought i was overreacting. it still hurts thinking about all the time he deleted.

I love how they draw all the girls, 100% cute.

that sucks but you really should not have lent your sd card if you didn't make any backups. period.

>>Brother makes comments saying he's not sorry, he's glad he did it, and that he would do it again given the chance
So he just went out of his way to act like a cunt to you for no reason? Also like that other user said you should've backed you photos up somewhere.

>Defending him
I know Cred Forums is all about trying to troll one another, but have some empathy for once in your life.

>>Brother makes comments saying he's not sorry, he's glad he did it, and that he would do it again given the chance
Goddamn, what an asshole.

Fuck

I'm not defending anyone, you both fucked up.

That sucks dude, but probably not the worst example of a shitbag brother. I doubt he knew you had pictures of a dead friend on there.

I can't think of a game that would hurt to lose more than pokemon, I can't even imagine what I'd do if I lost mine. That sucks, hard. Sorry that happened to you man

>that
>defending him
That's a pretty shitty thing to go through but it could've easily been avoided.

>>Brother makes comments saying he's not sorry, he's glad he did it, and that he would do it again given the chance
Holy fuck user ...IF i was you I would absolutely march my ass over to wherever he is and KICK his fucking ass..what kind of fucking brother family does this shit..fuck

Faggot talking to your dad about your brother when you are 18 years old. Why didn't you cry to mom?

That seems like pretty typical brotherly antagonism, frankly. He probably feels dumb when publicly outed as doing that to him, and feel the need to plant their feet in the ground and act like they meant it. It's shitty, but not that outrageous.

I have another story if you all want to hear it, I guess.

You know people are going to say yes, don't make everyone beg again.

yeah you are right...but still if I had shit saved on something that I wanted to keep as memories and would look at them and a family member just deletes them and then says "Yeah I dont feel remorse for deleting your memories and Will do it again anytime" I Would and hopefully you two would be incredibly pissed off

Have you attempted to recover them?

Unless he did a hard format or whatever they're called, there might be some data on there that could be recovered if you still have the SD card.

>tfw can never replay P4 again without thinking of my cousin who was killed by a drunk driver on my first playthrough

If I was closer to the incident, you bet I would be pissed off. I'm just trying to remain objective, since it's a luxury I'm afforded.

That is dirtbag shit. My bro and I never did anything that bad to each other. Literally have to be a shitty human being to do stuff like that. Then again. Probably spoiled behavior raised certain siblings to have that kind of resentment. My bro and I are like best of friends and always have each other's back.

Overwriting the data is pretty much the same as formatting, user. That's my understanding, at least. If files are deleted, there's a chance at recovering. But when that disk sector is occupied by other things, the data values are just straight up changed.

Don't keep us waiting user.

>People don't want to read Boku Academia

Yes, I do believe that what deleting a file does is mark that as disk space that is available for use, and so when you download something new it'll use that space if it is needed, I assume it'll use actual unused space if able to, but I'm not entirely sure on that matter, so don't quote me on this

Yup thanks for that it calmed me down abit but still the thing that pisses me off is that user told his brother NOT to specifically multiple times and the older brother did it disregarding everything for his own gain really shitty big brother

I've used file recovery programs before. Even though I "permanently" deleted files, I was able to recover them. So yes, that seems to be the case.

No doubt. It's a shitty thing to do no matter how you look at it.

Of course I do. It's the best. Shit really came to a boil recently, and the whole comic actually has friends get the spotlight from chapter to chapter. They actually managed to do what Dragonball always fucked up.

>sonic 06
give that to him as punishment

I'm starting to fall in love with the frog grill and I don't even read the comic.

He knew how bad it was; giving it to him wasn't going to be a bad thing.

I didn't know about that until months later when I talked to my counselor. I have lost the SD card since then, since i thought the data was gone forever.

Man, when I was 5 my dad took a sledgehammer and smashed all of my N64 cartridges to bits. I'll never forget that. I mean, if I was acting up, why not just hide the games where I can't get them? Nope, you had to smash them all in my face while watching me cry and vomit over myself. He'd make such awful jokes like, "LOL I hear you're dating J-lo, I mean, Halo, you nasty pervert!" when I was like 7 years old.

Read the comic. There's a dozen cute grills you'll fall in love with.

Tsuyu still a best though.

Pirate it.

bumping for this

best.

But Mina, Momo and Mei are high tier.

does gitaroo man emulate better on PSP or PS2?

It's from the upcoming OVA

it plays better on psp in my opinion, and it wasn't emulation it was a psp port

>ywn fug the rarest pepe

I got you anons.
youtu.be/TaJ-PomlLTY

I mean as far as emulating the game goes, am I better off emulating it on PCSX2 or PPSSPP?

Please don't ever call her memefrog ever again.

Greninja?

No.

ppsspp

I'll be honest. I started watching this shit for the cute frog girl but I stayed for the heartfelt and funny moments between Midorya and All Might.

Traitor ain't Kaminari

It's Ochako

Thanks anons. I'm glad someone else understands why I would be upset by it.

If I ever do play again, I'll simply make it a goal to get my favorite shiny pokemon again.

ID love to help you out Igot a couple of spare shinies if you want..Shit only 2 A shiny Tyranitar and a spare shiny dusknoir

Nah, I'll get it the same way I got the original. Abusing some mechanic to improve my odds. Otherwise it isn't [my] shiny Metagross.

Ironically enough, the shiny of my favorite pokemon is probably the single most common right after shiny gyarodos.

Alright but dont hesitate to ask if you need a trade if you have a psn add me Maxcannoner

It's not like the artists would mourn the loss of their works they'd have loads of fun remaking them all right?

Losing my Custom Robo disc when I moved.

I really want to replay that game again, but I don't know what happened to it.

That was the last game she got me for years, but after moving back in to take care of her a little while back, I found a copy of Destiny sitting on the stairs with a post it note on it that had a little smiley face. She doesn't remember that either, but seeing Destiny or MGS4 makes my heart ache.

I think it's tsuyu.

Yes, yes he is.

I sure hope not, not after all the spotlight she's had, even insight into her family life. It would break my heart.

I hope it get translated soon.

Come on now, Metroid Fusion and the likes can be completed in less than 24 hours. Your comparison would only be accurate with Lost Planet 2.

I wonder what kind of game Tsuyu would play. Probably Splatoon.
