end of an era (though not a livejournally one, as such)

Well, guys. It's been forever. Ten weeks is a small eternity in Internet Time, yes? Somehow I... just fell out of the habit, I dunno. Long stories, longer trails of thought and consequence stemming off from those. But eventually I felt I needed to fight past the waves of guilt-over-not-posting I felt every time I logged into LJ (yes, I've been ( Read more... )

You lot have been very quiet, even whilst I've been offline for the past two weeks. Didn't I plan to visit you lot at one point? Is that still an option?

I had to 100% SS at least twice, as my cousins had the habit of trying to play the games when they went round to my Grandmother's, and they would only put the games half-in so that the data was somehow wiped. I went beserk when I lost my DKC2 save that way.

See them fade away.

Still an option, yes! At least during the month of September, most likely. But yes, I have been super-quiet, as post makes mention of; sorry about that. No particular reason, I just... drifted somewhat. Got caught up in other things.

It's nice to have emulators now; they help you find old games that you can no longer play, no longer have. I use it a lot now, since my SNES no longer works (not from poor care, but from being young and never putting up the wires!).
However, nothing could compare to playing the games on the original console. I would love to be able to play my favourite games on a nice, large television with the SNES hooked up. Though, I'd also love replay on the SNES just to see if any of my old save files still exist! I don't think mine would ever be 100% complete, as I was never a patient gamer at that age, but I remember a glitch in one save slot on Secret of Mana where the main boy turned into a snowman and forever disappeared. It's files like that one that I'd love to load up again.

That's really sad. I sort of wonder how my cartridges are. Because I haven't had a working SNES in years, I've been able to blithely assume that they're all fine...

I've been in the same boat as you with the unposting guilt issue (which is why I check into LJ almost every day, but I think I haven't posted in a year now...o_o), but I've been keeping an eye out for you and I'm glad you're not gone for good. :)

Thanks for coming back. ^^

I'd tell you not to feel bad for being gone for a while from LJ, but... well, I'm guilty of the same thing (wasn't here since Jan., you can look at the post I made earlier today if you want details), and... yeah, I feel like a real jerk for being gone so long.

So basically... we can be sympathy buddies or something? ^^;;
