  1. No. Cartridges save data. The old consoles were literally just boxes that played the cartridge. That means you could take your cartridge to your friend's and play from your save on your friend's console. Cartridges were replaced by CDs because that technology could store more data at the time, which meant bigger and better games. However, CDs can't save date because there was no way to rewrite a CD. While that doesn't matter today when consoles have internal storage, there was a generation of consoles (ps1, gcn, ps2) that introduced CDs but hadn't yet bridged the gap on internal storage. In order to save your games, you needed external memory cards. Those memory cards were basically cartridges.
  2. That's generally how cartridges work
  3. if it's something as simple as that then I'll probably go ahead with the plan unless someone has legit problems with the notion if he gave out a rank for like someone saving a dozen babies and puppies out of a burning building I'd feel more hesitant to touch it
  4. *permabanned next time it will be though, so consider this your warning
  5. congrats, that's pretty cool own or rent?
  6. yup yup also fyi, since this is a thread generally involving custom ranks/member groups: I think our plan going forward will be to give out the customs as a reward for donating to the server fund or for winning contests, probably for the duration of the calendar year, or something like that. for everyone who was given a custom beforehand, I don't know the context of why it was given out so I guess I was leaning towards grandfathering them in for this year or round or however I'm doing it. still not 100% settled, but I'm going to pull the trigger on whatever I do after the maintenance this week.
  7. it's because you have a custom rank/member group so I would have had to set yours manually (and I guess this means I didn't) edit: there
  8. It's true. And it also involved diecast Thomas the Tank Engine trains too.
  9. never eat soggy Wheaties
  10. I would just say that it's generally not a great idea to go there, even if you're just being cheeky
  11. Misaka don't tag girls to try to get them to share pictures of their butts.
  12. Hold on, I gotta find where all my old Thomas trains are!
  13. I think this is probably my problem too. It's not one that sleeping 10 hours on the weekend does anything to mitigate (even though it feels greeeaaaat to not have to wake up for work). I've spent a lot more of my down time on my PC, so I'm spending eight or nine hours at one desk only to spend another three or four at another. Brain tell me that bad.
  14. sorry :\
  15. i am here
  16. every once in a while I think "man I wonder if it's possible to track down westpark" but then I reconsider, because the nostalgia will likely wear off day 1
  17. the lesson to be learned is: never try
  18. the intention wasn't shameful, it was the attempt
  19. can confirm
  20. Custody is key, not cuffs. Cuffs are just an indicator of (but not required for) custody. I don't even really understand what you mean. Simply put, if you are in "detained or in the custody" of an officer, and that officer has sex with you, it would legally be considered a felony rape regardless of whether you wanted to do it or not. Actual, bona fide custody, not an illegal detainment. Like the officer properly arrests you, and then has sex with you. What you seem to be talking about is a whole different can of worms.
  21. glhf
  22. I honestly don't know. I recall not finding anything about it on the internet when I discovered the glitch, but then again games from back then don't always have a lot of coverage and analysis online unless they were the killer apps that stood the test of time.
  23. Especially if you are a kid who hasn't figured out why your game keeps resetting
  24. how embarrassing
  25. Yeah, it happened in NYC and blew up in the news at the same time as the state budget starts getting put together, so even though it's not a fiscal thing the Governor decided to add it in. And the particular facts of this case have prevented the law from adequately prosecuting the case because the two officers were contesting the victim's absence of consent. By making this a form of statutory rape, consent is irrelevant to the crime, and it becomes easier to prosecute the defendant charged with the rape of a victim in their custody.
