God I miss you guys! Omg where do I begin. Well first of all, a lot has been going on with me. I work two jobs and goto school now, so my schedule is swamped. Ace'ing all of my classes and mind blowing away my professors at my coding skills lol. Plus I've been spending a lot more time with my girlfriend who I've been dating for 4 years now. We just recently got engaged. Then a few days ago, she finds a PS3 that someone threw away, so I took a whack at trying to fix it. Even after applying new thermal paste onto the chips, it still gave me the yellow light of death. So I gave up at 4:15 in the freaking morning. Then she wakes me up at 9am and says "lets get a PS3!" So now we got a PS3 with a bunch of games, and obviously been playing that. I know I'm all over the place. Like I said I had a lot going on with me. With all the money I've been making between both jobs, I've been doing some game chasing for retro games on my time off (which is literally only half a day all week), and my game collection is now at a frightening rate. I now have 105 NES games, with two of them being extremely rare. And recently been trying to collect Sega Genesis games. Been doing some hardcore C++ coding lately (using VB 2013 Professional) with my latest project being an improved NES emulator from my VB6 predecessor. Sadly the only time I can code is super late at night for like an hour before I goto bed, so my projects go slow. I also am trying to stream live on Twitch with my channel called Jake's NES Adventure using not an emulator, but a real NES using my Elgato composite capture device. But due to a lack of time, its pretty difficult to squeeze some streaming in, and I can really only do it late night, which means less views. Its 2 am now, and I'm super exhausted. I just wanna let you guys know I'm still around, and that I didn't forget about you guys.
I'm here for 12 years , and like you I'm way too busy, i visit the forum maybe once a month...
Life has changed a lot for me also, the main change for me is that now I have a 19 month old son and every day I can't wait to finish work, so I can go home and see him I miss him every day! I am with my girlfriend for almost 9 years, but I don't plan to get engaged/married...
You and your girlfriend are together for 4 years, and you got engaged; I bet she wants to have a baby?
