Are lambos over priced because you can't afford them, or are they out of your financial loop?
What would you say if something you produced was devalued by black market. Say you lost your job to someone doing it for half the price working under the table?
Think cause and effect not as selfishly as you are.
I'm super pissed

playing devilled avocado here, but lambos are hella overpriced
I also see what puke means about it being more than he'd be willing to pay, and I can see his logic. For someone like me, with atm, basically no income, a chinese cart seems a lot more favourable than one of krikzz' carts.
That said, I respect that the circumstances are different for him, he manufactures them, or something along those lines, making them cost more. And, in a perfect world where I had money, I'd quite happily shell out $100+ for a cart, but when I can get one for $40, $50 inc shipping, I'd rather choose that. However, when put into perspective £60 isn't to bad for a flashcart, but the fact that I can get one for about £30 is a lot more appealing to me.Who knows, if I have a stable source of income by the time this comes out, I may get one, if not, then I'll just stick with my EMS.
apparently circuit board manufacturing in the ukraine isnt half bad on price (wayy cheaper than USA) from what i seen from a couple google searches (but that by no means makes me an expert) but how do we know those are actually being manufactured in the ukraine and not some place cheaper like shenzhen china or korea? (i know even on a small scale shenzhen is the cheapest basically.. ive seen them even knock off some impressive things circuit wise on the cheap cheap, i deal with shenzhen manufactureres from time to time for my job and they can basically knock off anything.. infact they like to combine products together which i find comical like e-cigs with flash lights built into them..) there really isnt much info on his site and im not going to email him because for 1. i dont speak the native tongue and 2. i dont want to sound like a dick (because i do have a habit of that but its just me being a huge nerd and overcritical)....bleeehhhhhhh imma go shower and eat some turkey

i did something like this back in 2009 i picked up this super old vcr and i circuit bent it with potentiometers on different mechanisms of the vcr like the head, tracking, motor speed and rewind/fast foward and then i had a camera set up to take pictures... unfortunately the computer i had all of those pics on died a horrible death and i lost a shit ton of art/music that i didnt have backed up in the cloud.. i feel once the yard sale season comes back imma hunt me down another vcr and do the same and run the video into a pc so i can record it.. i do have a vhs still that i dubbed off of that vcr with the movie solar babies glitched to hell and i ran stereo to rca into the vcr dubbing the video with alec empires album the destroyer playing so you got the glitched video then a bunch of grimie old school breakcore as the audio... i definitely will upload that and post it here when i get the whole thing set up
this is a pretty good example of what im talking about
also this is just fucking cool

Re: .. (147 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
for me its the challenge like i started in FL7, moved down to renoise, moved down to milkytracker, moved down to famitracker and then i started teaching myself console trackers like NTRQ.. and for some people its more intuitive at points kinda like when you are playing an old RPGs and and you have all the menus memorized.. the other point someone who is not me would make is that it makes it a bit more authentic which i dont really care about.. i will say having a native tracker for the SNES would probably pop my cherry when it comes to eventually writing FM synthesis ..

id thank the cloners for the free promotion because there is more than likely still going to be the original customer basis who want the real thing just like every other product out there it just makes the user experience more attainable for people who during that point in time cannot afford it.. the thing is no matter what country you live in there are always going to be cheap people.. ive bought cloned things like mechanical mods (high end electronic cigarettes) used them for awhile decided i liked the mod so much i went out and bought the real thing (the bagua, the juggernaut and i now have an iHybrid).. cloning things doesnt necessarily take money out of the creators pocket if the product is good enough and has a demand like the everdrive line.. and you figure the two scenes of people buying these are chip musicians (who also somewhat fall into the second category) and retro collectors.. i feel both scenes represent the type of people im talking about people who will buy the clone and buy the original.. thats just how it works.. learn a little bit about marketing, manufacturing and retailing before you judge my statements.. i work as a product manager for an e-cig company (i also ran a head shop for a couple years) and you see this type of stuff happening all the time and the original manufacturers dont lose money on it it usually drives the demand higher for the real thing cause despite what you think people do actually care about authenticity.. i mean really if everyone wanted a GB boy none of these modders with websites would be selling original dmgs and what not
TL;DR: i have bird hair your arguement is invalid

still over priced.. no matter how broke i am... period.. idgaf and calling me an idiot isnt going to change my mind about it..
and i want the retron 5 because i havent bought anything nice for myself in ages and you can find carts in the wild up here like crazy for cheap but if someone has a working console they try to charge out the ass for it.. if i collected the systems id be spending well over 100..
maine is like land of the garage sales and thrift stores
