Unless you are completely and totally prepared to do without it for the rest of your life, you should never assume you'll get it back the same way as before you parted with it, if you get it back at all. Never lend shit out. Never borrow shit. Unless you want to be disgusted when you are confronted by how much of a disrespectful mongoloid the person is.

I had a friend visiting a friends house who I never see anymore. He gave my friend a copy of a game to borrow like 2 months ago that I have no interest in playing. He asked me the other day how far I was and told him I didn't have time. I don't know what to do. I literally never see this guy anymore.

Japanese N64 controllers used a lubricant to prevent the stick grinding against its housing, but it consisted of a banned substance overseas, so they were shipped without. That means you're damaging the stick's housing every time you use it, causing the stick to get loose and wobble about.
Get yourself a can of white lithium grease and spray it into the stick's internal housing once or twice a year depending on how frequently you're using it

I had two of these fucks in middle school, they'd brag about all the cool new PC games they had, and whenever I'd ask if I could borrow one, one kid gave this "I know you're gonna copy them, so that's not really fair to me", and another gave me the same line, but with "When you copy it, it'll activate the degrading process on both of our discs and I don't wanna risk it".

Pic related. I reported values as being either what I paid for them at the time of purchase, what it would cost for me to get a new copy, or what I could sell my copy for--whichever was highest.

The guys got caught, but one of them tried to flee in a vehicle and nailed a cop. He got the shit beat out of him and was probably coerced into confessing to everything. He pleaded guilty and will be sentenced to 30-ish years in prison plus whatever else the judge wants to extract out of him. I might be compensated, or I might not. The other three are lagging behind in the process because they didn't almost kill an officer.

Except she didn't, because this was well after I had asked her out before, and been shut down because she "didn't want to ruin our friendship". Like an idiot I kept her around instead of cutting my losses and moving on, but I know she wasn't into me past that since I had every subsequent advance rebuffed as well, so unless this was the world's most elaborate shit-test I'm fairly certain she just wanted me to loan her the game.

I never lent him any games after that, I don't get it, how does that even happen? It almost looks like he used an eraser or something

if i had to guess? he pushed down on the plastic right before the entrance to the cartridge slot when he removed a game like an idiot, everytime he swapped games.
The end result being the rubbing off of the ink.

So long Resident Evil 4 for Wii and Devil May Cry 3 (non Special Edition).
Both games I had to re-buy.
I was so adamant that years later I tried getting a hold of that guy who borrowed RE4 for Wii.
I did everything I could, but he wouldn't respond.
Had to give up and spend 10 bucks at my local Mega Media Xchange.

I love how people still try to tote shit as rare when it's not complete or damaged. Like this guy who tried to sell a set of tabletop wargame miniatures, but the set wasn't complete. No collector is going to pay top price for that you retard, advertising it as rare ain't going to help.

When a kid did different tests from the whole class it meant he had autism, right?
I remember my best friend did it and I couldn't understand why, he was perefectly normal (as far as social retards like we were go) and when I asked him why he didn't know either and the teacher refused to tell the whole class why when people started bitching it was unfair.

No, autism affects social behavior foremost. It doesn't make learning stuff like English or math particularly hard. There's no real reason to give someone with autism different tests unless they really have trouble understanding the questions.

>>331432386
Speds generally get easier tests, yes. Hell, the speds at my school got their own class.

Oh shit, I remember in the 80's, in Brazil we couldn't find an MSX anywere, so there were a lot of people who know some computer cience and build a msx machine from spare parts of other small pcs. Like, MSX for us was like a bootleg PC, there were mouse and keyboard support, a Windows like OS and a lot of 8 bit games that looked like a 16-bit.

It was a PC that gained some popularity in certain spots over the world. That's kinda creative to put one together from parts but as long as you can find everything why not.
I imagine it was more simple than modern PCs?
