Title: retro-accessories - terrible seller & modder - avoid
Post by: moonwhistle on May 07, 2012, 01:14:41 AM
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Retro-Accessories
http://www.retro-access.com/
I bought a modded Core Grafx 2 (RGB and region modded) from Rachel Seleski who runs the above ebay shop and website. It cost around £85 / $137. I have had nothing but problems with her work and she is awful to deal with.
Shortly after I got the console, the AV socket started to malfunction. The AV lead needed to be moved around in the socket and held in place to keep the picture and sound working properly. It steadily got worse until it stopped working completely.
To cut a long story short, after weeks / months of emailing her about the problem she agreed to repair the console if I shipped it to her. Many weeks after I shipped it I eventually got it back last week. The first problem I noticed was that hu-cards now don't sit flush in the slot and stick up at an angle. To my relief it seemed that it worked fine but does look a bit wrong. However it now only runs Japanese games, US games won't work at all when the region switch is thrown.
In repairing the console she has somehow managed to botch the job, making a mess of the card slot and breaking the region switch completely. She must not have even tested it after the repair or she would have realised what she had done.
I am extremely angry about this whole situation and find her utterly incompetent, unprofessional and a nightmare to deal with. She often takes weeks to reply to an email and there are constant delays at every step, always with lousy excuses about why she doesn't reply sooner.
I find it hard to believe that she manages to run a website and ebay shop when she is this incompetent.
Half of my games are now unplayable and the unit just looks wrong with the cards sticking up in the slot. I asked her for a refund, surprise surprise no reply.
I am putting this up as a warning to others about her work and how she treats customers. I can post her full details if necessary.
(apologies if this is the wrong section to post this - please move if necessary)

That's fellow member pcenginesales, no? The only thing I've gotten from her was a replacement AV cord, which is of top notch quality, reasonably priced, and quickly shipped.

That is terrible news man. Thanks for the heads up. Thats why I stick to the techs right here on these boards, that have built a good rep. Sorry to hear about the bum system man. Get with one of the guys here, and they will fix it up for ya. thesteve, BlueBMW, keithcourage, and a few others I cant think of right off-hand.

I have never dealt with her on this forum but after checking it does appear that the member pcenginesales is the same person. While I'm sure there are plenty of skilled modders here I'm reluctant to ship this console out again as I'm in the UK.
Maybe her cables are ok but her console work / modding is diabolical. She is also extremely slow to reply to emails and frequently doesn't reply unless you sent multiples messages. Can you imagine sending a console half way round the world to the original seller only for them to "repair" it and send it back with worse problems than it left with? I even got an email from her saying that it was fixed and everything is perfect before she mailed it. Her level of incompetence is unbelievable.

How are you with a soldering iron? Crack that badboy open and take some photos.
If you're really stuck, I could take a look at it for you (I'm in the UK), though I'm nowhere near the skill level of the well known guys on this board. But I know the inside of a Core Grafx pretty well, and I've performed a few mods in my time.

I'm lousy with a soldering iron and I think the modding inside my core grafx is fairly extensive and cramped so it would be far beyond my skills. I tried opening it before I sent it for repair and found that the top shell was attached with a large cable and was pretty tight. I didn't investigate further for fear of breaking something. Is there an easy way to dismantle it properly? I've looked for videos but found nothing yet. I will consider your kind offer, thanks!

Basically, that massive ribbon attaches the HuCard slot to the motherboard, but it's pretty long and just folds up. Then there's about 4-5 screws that attach the slot to the top of the case - usually best to remove that.
I wouldn't worry, these things are really well built and would have to have had a HARD hard life for any reasonable force to cause any damage. I've heard stories about units that look like they've been outside for decades in the rain, but work first time when they're powered on.
I'm pretty sure all of my White PC Engines are actually open right now - I even carried one around in my bag for about a week in pieces! (I hope I can still find the screws!)
But the main thing to find out is whether it's just bad soldering, or whether anything is broken and needs replacing - if your AV port is broken or the switch needs replacing you'd probably want to find out that first rather than send it off and have to wait for 3 weeks while a switch arrives from Hong Kong ;)
*edit* Hah! Look what I found: I was looking at the fingernail thinking "woah, that's long..." If you follow on to about halfway, you'll see the console in half. At least in the meantime it still plays though! Half a machine is better than none!

Thanks for your reply soop. I've had an offer to look into it from a guy who's done mods for me in the past so I won't need you look at it. Thanks alot anyways!
I can't believe you found a video by the very hack who did this terrible work. It's a small world.

OK, the random bump is completely inappropriate. If the mods think it's worth sticky-ing they'll sticky it. Defer to their judgment.

Post by: moonwhistle on October 20, 2012, 08:53:14 AM
An update on this. I had to pay another competant modder to fix this problem for me. So my console is now working fine but I had to shell out more money.
Rachael Seleski / retroaccessories / pcenginesales is a total deadbeat and all I can do is recommend that others steer well clear of her on forums and ebay. She doesn't know what she's doing and certainly won't respond if anything goes wrong.
Edit: as suggested above I will ask if a mod will consider stickying this thread or adding her name to a bad traders list. I won't bump this thread again.

Post by: Drakon on October 20, 2012, 11:49:28 AM
Uhm...wow. I always thoroughly test my work and upload a video of everything working before I mail it out. Of course if there's any faults I offer to fix it for free if the person is willing to pay to mail it back and forth. I respond within 24 hours to every message, there's really no excuse for what she did.
Also I can personally vouch for keith courage he's great. Thesteve looks awesome too.

Oh wow!!! Holy shit!!!
I put two and two together based on seeing "Rachel" and "pcenginesales" and then I searched her posts... I know her a little bit more than most... Hahaha! This is THE Rachel (AKA Shimarisu) that worked with me on the Ys fan translation projects once upon a time... pcenginesales used to be her eBay account, and I remember that because somebody I knew was the one that caught her on eBay selling original Ys IV discs with pre-patched CD-Rs of our patch to add value to the sale, etc.
I once told you guys about what she had told me, that she used to hang around a Working Designs' chatroom and one day Victor Ireland got sick'n'tired of the purists complaining to him, so he said to them, "If you don't like our translations, then translate the games yourselves!" Rising to the challenge, she claimed this is why she learned Japanese to begin with. She was also one of those people that was having an orgasm and celebrating when Working Designs shutdown. Both posts verified all that below:
https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=6613.msg111434#msg111434 "I actually had a meal out and karaoke in celebration of WD going bust."
https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=6613.msg111376#msg111376 "Working Designs are entirely why I learned Japanese. Hey I'm ACTUALLY NOT KIDDING."
Hahaha! That's funny, so she had an account here all along. That's her alright! Interesting, so she lives in the good ole US of A now. She started off in the UK and even lived in Japan for a while. We had a falling out years ago because she has a temper problem and snapped at me while chatting over AIM as we used to do, so I said f*ck you and good bye. She's not a terrible person, shit happens'n'stuff, but yeah, it's funny running into this. Anyway... Yeah, I recall that she was kind of handy as well, so that she's been doing hardware modding is interesting (although failing at it at times judging by this thread).
Anyway, she is indeed your Ys IV translator, ladies and gentlemen. You can send her a thank you if you like. ;)
(http://i3.ebayimg.com/07/u/000/77/7e/7f0b_7.JPG)
Eh... Maybe I'd hit it... Maybe, but yeah, she's got temper/bipolar issues as mentioned (she states she has Aspergers Syndrome)... Heh-heh!
EDIT: It's 100% confirmed that it's her. Yeah, the Opera email address in her PCEFX profile is the same email address that I had last communicated with her (just checked).

Now the thing is, when you look at these, you do kinda lean even more towards thinking, "Yeah, I kinda would like to 'mod' her..." ;) That's her in the yellow suit whatever. What is that of, a Chocobo or some shit ?? Hahaha!
Oh, found this:
Quote from: Fri Feb 14 15:37:21 2003
Rachel: Wolve likes WD, I hate them, he said my translation was 'flat' because I cut the 'poetic' writing out, and it wasn't jaunty enough. What I did was write it well, as literally as possible without it reading bad, in good English grammar and retaining all the nuances of the original. Rachel: He said hewanted it like WD. AkimaruPCE: really? Rachel: Oh yes. ... Rachel: I'm still second fiddle on his credits page, even though I had to retranslate a great deal of the script. Rachel: He is a good rewriter. But his Japanese is not up to scratch. Rachel: DeuceBag did make a lot of elementary mistakes, my attitude was that I was not exactly pleased that I was second fiddle to somebody who could not translate well and rewrote things. >_<
There was competition among the translators. ;) That was cute, though. I got a kick out of that stuff like that.

Dude, are you serious or just sort of feigning outrage sarcastically ? I can't tell for sure, but I'm leaning towards the former. If you're serious, you really need to chill! Making way out there statements that my comments reflected negatively on others in the "forum and the community built around it", that these 2 posts were somehow threatening to some overall reputation is wild and absurd!! A lot of the stuff was public, so it wasn't a "bunch of" personal stuff and while some of it was, big whoop, pass it up if you don't approve, it wasn't *that* revealing. Calling me misogynistic and "creepy" for just having a little fun in terms of finding her somewhat attractive and making sexual innuendo type comments just makes you look like a f*cking prude, I'm sorry to say... Wow, way to be a douche!

Innuendo is subtle. That wasn't subtle. Further, posting a lot of personal info on the person is an invasion of their privacy. So you post some personal info and some pics of someone designed to "reveal" something about them and then make sexual comments about them based off those pictures. It doesn't matter if they're posted publicly elsewhere. It's inappropriate and in questionable taste. And it's the exact kind of crap that keeps this hobby a boy's club. It also says more about you than you think it does. In short, you're no class act.
And yes, I'm making a big deal about it because this kind of thing REALLY bothers me. Most of my best friends are women, and some of them are gamers and have traditionally male hobbies, and these kinds of attitudes constantly grate on them and make it difficult for them to feel like they have a place. Besides, whether you think it's a big deal or not, it pretty clearly violates the forum rules.

I don't give a f*ck about some subtle or not subtle distinction that you're trying to make, it was sexual innuendo and it was said in fun, also a minor account of some history with her that some might find interesting. If most of it was public and the private stuff wasn't all that damning, just interesting and what not, that's hardly some evil invasion of privacy as your exaggerating ass is trying to make it out to be!! I wouldn't allow a prudish, overly sensitive clown like you to deter it in the future.

Says you. Sorry douche, but random, rare (at least from what I can tell here) remarks like that are not what keep this hobby a boy's club. Demographically, far more males like videogames than females, for whatever reasons. For a female to just outright boycott or avoid some forum because of guys being guys, she'd have to be pretty damn hyper-sensitive like you seem to be. I'm not buying your stupid, self-serving narrative for a second.

So the ass clown falls back on alleged forum rule violations when I could point to numerous other technical violations that have occurred in the past where you said and did nothing.

Ordinarily sexual comments don't bother me. I was bothered in this case because of all the personal information and such that accompanied the comments. Most of what you shared or opined has nothing to do with whether or not she's an unreliable seller or modder.
Perhaps I am overreacting, I don't know. I know that what you posted made me very uncomfortable and I decided it was important enough to say something. The sum total of what you posted is inappropriate, both in the context of this discussion and in general.
Good for you, though, responding in an adult and mature manner. And they say reasoned discourse is dead.

I too, have MANY friends who are girls. I really seen nothing wrong with what was posted, and took it to be a bit of comic relief. My wife, and all of my girlfriends have a sense of humor, and nothing like this would have offended them. To say that "THIS" is the reason the forum lacks females is just false. Basically, chill the hell out and have a sense of humor. That is what it was meant to do, bring a chuckle.. You know, little pun? chuckle chuckle?? Why so serious?

Bernie, your measured response is appreciated. My last post before this one pretty much sums it up. There's not much more I can say on this. After NightWolve's over-the-top response, include a couple VERY harassing PMs, I just can't see it as simply as that. Maybe if it were someone else on the forum who posted what NightWolve did I'd be able to see it your way.

Well this is weird. So the person doing shady repairs put all kinds of effort into help translate Ys IV? Why contribute so much to a system you love by helping translate an awesome game to then later not make good on repairs you provide for the same system?
Something doesn't add up. Maybe this person never responded to emails cause something happened to them? Maybe she is in the hospital? Family crisis? Who knows?

I personally wouldn't have many any comments like NightWolve's but at the same time I don't have a problem with it. Its just more below my radar dumb shit not worth making a fuss about, IMO.
Sometimes things need to be said about appropriate language and the sensitivity of others, but then other times you have dudes co-opting the struggles of another group in an attempt to give meaning to their own lives and getting it all wrong in the process. Vagina envy. I think this is more like that. I was raised by a single mom and I did this a lot myself. It took a long time for me to realize that woman were people too. A lot of them are wonderful perfect angels, and a lot of them are dumb jerks that like Larry the Cable Guy.
There are plenty of woman who would laugh at the joke. None of them are here for the same reason that %99 of all web forums are dominated by men. It isn't about games, lots of woman play games, its more about the extent to which men take their hobbies and the nature by which their obsession manifests itself.
This is a lady who learned a foreign language just so she could tell Vic Ireland to f*ck off with some authority. That's pretty awesome, IMO. If she worked on Ys, lived in three countries, does PCE mods, etc, and still feels like dressing as Sexy Pikachu then I think she's probably tough enough to take a "plug" joke. No, I wouldn't have made the joke myself, but not all women are ultra sensitive prudes so wracked with reverse chauvinism that they're going to avoid a web forum en masse because of one stupid joke. They've got all sorts of other reasons to avoid the forum. :)
As for the original topic, I bought a cable from this her a year or two ago, everything went fine. Obviously as a translator for Ys her contributions to the PCE community should give her a little more credit than a guy with 56 posts (who, to my ears, sounds like a bit of a whinger, but that's only a hunch). The translation of Ys IV was probably the most significant homebrew/hack thing in the history of PCE, IMO. I think a lot of you would agree with this if you thought about it.
Which isn't to say that she isn't a hack and a thief too, but we don't have the whole story. It would be interesting to hear from the guy that fixed moonwhistle's PCE since he's the only one who has seen the defective work that was done.

In NightWolve's defense, about the whole "this is why we don't have female members here" crap or what ever I'd like to drop a friendly reminder. Last I checked the prior two that were here had issues going on. You had one, T&A Kirby, flirting with people somewhat, also going out of her way to be involved in the behind the scenes garbage involving Nintega, and then you'd have her complaining about the free games she was receiving. She was a idiot to say the least. The other, Misa, the PCFX fan who mainly played PCFX and watched anime, was a bipolar mess, feigning constant near death health issues online for sympathy, yet somehow managing to never just f*cking die already. When she ran out of good stories to tell, along with the actual ability to back them up, she moved on to another forum, then another, and so on I guess. I believe I last spotted her on Vogons pretending to be someone else in typical Dave fashion. Rinse and repeat, the story of her life. Also, she sucked at Shogo, which she was supposedly supposed to be good at, but I curb stomped her at about every turn, even when she had help.
Really normal girl gamers tend to just hang out in girl gaming circles online mostly, unless it is WOW related or something. Just as you're not beating down the door trying to join their forums, don't expect them to do so here. For that matter, this system was a niche system for the more serious collector/player, not for the average gamer, and you are not going to find as many serious collectors being women typically, because girls and women gaming did not become more common until the Playstation era, so not as many are going to know of, or care about, this system. They will be more focused on the mainstream stuff. Just how it is.
Concerning pcenginesales, most of my transactions with her went off without a hitch, as did one of my friends. I had one issue where a Super Cd Rom 2 unit wasn't packed maybe as well as it could be, and the lid switch was knocked loose during transit. It was a easy fix though at any rate. Regardless, sometimes sellers just go bad or get flaky. Sellers with mental issues, more so I am sure.
Also, I did not have any issue with what NW said. Pcesales doesn't even come around here, and to be honest, its fair play I guess if shes talking shit about him anyway.
Here I am after quite a long break. I apologize for my lack of posts here, but I've been more occupied at the TurboGrafx Network forum for Black Tiger's website, along with other matters including a recent trip to Reno for the holidays to visit my uncle who lives there.
As a Christmas present, SuperPCEngineGrafx had sent me Battle Royale whilst I was away. I had a bit of a disdain upon receiving it, as I've heard of heavy criticism on this particular title, especially since it wasn't a title I desired to have and I had sent him the list of titles I wanted by a private message. I asked him about this decision, and he explained to me that it was the only game he could find locally that I didn't have, and he had missed out on an ad on Craigslist for a copy of Bloody Wolf as he was very busy in the days it was featured (I'm okay with that aspect, though, as Bloody Wolf isn't a title I highly desire either).
Seriously, joins forum, guys start sending her shit just because shes a chick, then she complains on here and on youtube about free stuff she gets like a spoiled bitch. :roll:

Yes, that is exactly why I gave her a TG-16, cuz she's a "chick". I guess that all the stuff I've sent guys over the years was because I thought that they were cute. Who were the other guys showering Kirby with gifts?
What she did with the free stuff is make a bunch of youtube videos with it. She even managed to beat Legendary Axe, which many people can't do.

This is not the only forum/medium she was on, and you were not the only person supposedly sending her "gifts" or whatever between here and youtube. If you want a list, ask her. She was deleting comments on her youtube videos and channel, so I cant tell you who all she was doing this with, but it was not limited to here. Why would you care to know anyway, you jealous or something about a girl who has not even posted on here since what, 4 years ago???
I myself put her on ignore after she tried to recruit herself to be some kind of weird back stabbing spy on Nintega since he had a crush on her. If you do need someone to confirm that, drop Sini a pm, because she was contacting him about that mess also. But I mean hey, if you were supposedly such a good friend of hers or whatever to be sending gifts to begin with, you should already know she was a double agent wanna be.
At any rate, I did not exactly name you by name either did I? So, no reason to get your panties in a bunch. People can just read the prior thread and judge for themselves how she was behaving. The comment wasn't even about you specifically, it was about what happened when she joined. She joins, guys send her free stuff, and she complains. THAT is what happened, though I should have stated she also joined the youtube gaming community also (whatever community that is), since you demand specifics. But I mean also, hey, if you decide to send any new cute guys gifts, as you put it, who just joined the forum free stuff too, then cool man, that is your business. I aint got nuthin against you swinging for the male persuasion. Only new person who seemed to post about the "gifts" and gift list though here at that time though, with "disdain" anyway, was her, which is what made it memorable. If you want to post links to threads of new guys who joined up and started threads about your gifts, by all means, have at it.
She beat LA, really, besides you, who cares? Sorry, I don't remember that. On the totem pole of importance, it ranks pretty low, and the way you are commenting on it, is that in some ways insinuating that it would be even harder for a girl to beat it then a guy....hard to say..... Either way, guy or girl, it doesn't give someone the license to act like an ass about a gift publicly, or in private.

Actually, I do find that pretty impressive. Most members here, my self included, lack the time or the skills or the interest to come close to clearing even 1/2 of our collections.
That's all I have to say about this person though. I don't really remember this fiasco and really don't give a shit about it.

But, the question is, do you find it impressive enough to remember 4 years down the road? I don't know how many here have cleared Image Fight II, but I really don't expect anyone to remember I did 3 days later, let alone 4 years down the road, nor my crazy high scores on Override, or my 1 life clear of Splatterhouse on Hard mode. I guess it would matter though if you were fairly attached to the person or something. IDK, I just don't remember most any games my own friends beat or anything. Probably because I view that stuff as being more of a personal accomplishment then one anyone else should care much about.

For me, clearing classic era games is rare unless I really like them or they are really easy. I remember watching my friends beat Bubble Bubble (NES) twice in one sitting. I remember my friend's a$$hole brother clearing Lords of Thunder because I didn't think he had it in him (not that its hard, its actually pretty easy, but this guy sucked at things). I remember the time I swore to myself that I'd get good enough at Super Star Solider to finish it (but still haven't).
But lets say this really is odd, so you've proven that Black Tiger has the hots for her by remembering some random bit of info. So what? Is there something wrong with that?
Regardless, I'm sure you have more data on this chick than anyone. As usual you've followed her to Youtube, other forums, with accompanying attached images to prove your stalking prowess, because for some reason you think that's acceptable behavior (its not). What does this show us that we don't already know? When it comes to collecting dossiers full of extraneous background info on forum members past and present, going back well more than 4 years, you are the absolute king. They can run but not hide, right? Therefore you must have the hots for EVERYONE.
With as much trivia as you've stored up in your brain about me you must jerk off to my picture daily, hourly even. Its OK, you can do that. Just don't post pics of that, please.

/\ adding character and original content to an otherwise boring rehash /\
Or actually, in reality, before buying Vasteel again a few months back, which yes I did actually do, I was simply browsing Vasteel videos reminiscing on how great the game was, and spotted that video and happened to remember that since it was attributed to little Miss Disdain here. Seriously, you really like to read into things and grasp for straws, and yet again proved that if I post, right on que you are there doing the Zeta shuffle, one step forward, two steps back, attempting to twist another thread into being about your life long net battle with your supposed nemesis you hate so much. You're boring me to death here with the same ole shtick. At least in the old days you had somewhat original content sometimes...or not, f*ck I really cant remember. Also, does all this mean you have the hots for ME?
If you cant tell I'm jerking BT's chain there with the pic, then I don't know what to tell you. He is the one that got all reactionary over the situation, and if he did have the hots for her, I doubt anyone cares, and it isn't like he is the only one, so did Dave and I am sure a couple others here or elsewhere. Like I said, I didn't mention him, he ousted himself for no reason. It's a age old tradition to raz a fellow guy over a girl crush or lay or wtf ever. I'm sure this is a new concept for you, being so socially awkward and all, so I can see how you'd confuse the meaning/purpose of it.
Personally, I don't even know what T&A Kirby looked like, but hopefully it was enough to make up for her winning personality. As far as having a personal dossier on her? Sorry, no, and again no, I did not save any prior messages she sent me on youtube. They were sent to my old channel, which I handed over to Quoth09 from here to handle, and he shut it down awhile back because he got tired of dealing with it too, replying to questions and comments and crap no one with a real life has any time for.

I only remember one one of my friends beating a game. My First friend had just bought Bonks Adventure that day and my Second friend was playing it and as he kept getting further and further, my first friend kept getting more and more pissed because he didn't want him to beat it as he had just bought it a few hours before.

Well this is weird. So the person doing shady repairs put all kinds of effort into help translate Ys IV? Why contribute so much to a system you love by helping translate an awesome game to then later not make good on repairs you provide for the same system?
Something doesn't add up. Maybe this person never responded to emails cause something happened to them? Maybe she is in the hospital? Family crisis? Who knows?
I wouldn't think of it that way, Keith. It's an interesting coincidence that I figured out she's one in the same - I remembered that she's handy, and ran an eBay sales business, but I had no idea she was now in the US and offering modding services till this thread. I'm sure she's had successful repairs, but something in this case just didn't go as planned and what not. Not good for your reputation, obviously. I think I ran into posts of hers complaining about damage during shipping and losing money over it, but this doesn't sound like that or what happened with steve/8bit4life. How she handled the customer after 2 failures is another matter...
Anyway, if the thread creator ever sees this *wonderfully* informative and entertaining thread (beyond words) as it is now, he will learn that she is the Ys IV translator and even though he had to cut his losses by paying somebody else to complete the job, he can feel somewhat less peeved about what happened and maybe note the novelty of who tried to mod his system albeit having ended in failure... This is assuming he was able to obtain and patch Ys IV, thus appreciate that feather in her cap, etc. He might just get a kick out of seeing her in that cosplaying outfit as well... ;)

Most of what you shared or opined has nothing to do with whether or not she's an unreliable seller or modder.
Most of what YOU shared or opined has NOTHING to do with whether or not she's an unreliable seller or modder. Another hypocrisy, inconsistency and selectivity count on your part. This should've been in your first and ONLY post (you have many) if it was a mere matter of fidelity to the topic (that's IF your premise that my posts were so so far off is valid) AND there should be cases elsewhere in this forum where threads have wandered off and you, the heckling hero, tried to steer them back. I've been here a year and I can't recall in your case. I can't recall *many* things in your case. So, to be clear:
* I didn't come into this thread to talk about Michael Jackson. * I didn't come into this thread to talk about Barack Hussein Obama. * I didn't come into this thread to talk about Fox News, MSLSD, CNN, etc. * I didn't come into this thread to talk about Guns or whatever else. * Neither did I come into this thread initially to talk about spenoza the hypocritical, heckling hack...
No no no, *I* came into this thread to talk about Rachel as well because it turns out that it is the *SAME* Rachel that I worked with on Ys fan translation projects years ago! YOU, on the other hand, came into this thread mainly to talk about NightWolve in order to assault my character by calling me a creepy, misogynistic, sexist pig along with going as far as accusing me of being responsible for potentially chasing female members away, all for merely expressing trivial sexual interest in one individual who I happened to know and was the same Rachel that the topic revolved around... Since you don't know Rachel, since you've never dealt with her or worked with her, you're far more out of place in here than I am if we're gonna take your point seriously.
To more prove the hypocrisy/inconsistency counts, if we go back in time a little bit, we can demonstrate that in raising this demand for rigid adherence to the topic exactly, you flip-flopped selectively in my case here. Quote:
Quote from: spenoza_2008
I don't think mods are necessary to keep threads on topic. I think there needs to be a natural conversation flow. Enforcing rigid discussion can be really restricting and is no fun.
My my... Quite the difference now in 2013, eh, you condescending cunt? I like the "no fun" part... Heh. Funny, we USED to partly agree on something... I kind of like what Zeta said as well:
Quote from: SignOfZeta_2008
If the mods get trigger happy, I'll simply leave. I'm only interested in natural, organic conversation. This isn't 5th grade, or corporate radio, or some such shit. If I have to think about the idea of some prick deleting my post, and structure everything I say to someone else's idea of "on topic", I'll just waste my time elsewhere.
Of course, you have now flip-flopped back to your 2008 position for everybody else, obviously. Professor, Zeta, etc. Don't feel like lecturing them too? No more monitoring of this thread for people not talking about Rachel AND her modding services... Curious. So in just talking about Rachel and another type of experience with her, why, that'd be TOTALLY off topic and a technical forum rule violation... Everybody get his point? For *me*, things have gotta be EXACTLY on topic since he represents the thread creator's assumed default wishes as well as these imaginary angry girl gamers... If you've had another kind of experience with the same Rachel, you shouldn't have mentioned it in this topic! That would NOT qualify under a "natural conversation flow..." So by the look of things, he selectively and temporarily decried lack of rigid discussion flow on the account of little ole me for a few posts, but then seemingly went back to his 2008 position because, well, he's been MIA since and I don't think he has a history of having done this elsewhere either... Gotta love it!
Ultimately, what this shows is that when your central arguments fall apart which are built on a house of cards (in your case), you move the goal post around to get some technical heckling points across that are, well, worthless, hypocritical, contradictory, etc. at the end of the day. This is what happens when you don't stay honest to yourself and the adversary, just deal with what you oppose as you did in your early posts (validity aside!), posts which show what an insulated, 1950's prudish throwback that you really are despite your later attempt to deny the charge by balancing your reasons for this protest around others such as this off-topic point here. A point that, yeah, fails miserably, both because of your past positions and inconsistency as far as no other activism to speak of in steering any other thread back on topic around here...
The final reason why this heckling point of yours is an epic fail is because, hey, I could've just as easily made another thread myself, added a link to THIS one, and titled it say, "Hey, that terrible seller/modder Rachel/retro-accessories recently mentioned is my Ys IV translator!!" But then you'd know what that would mean, right, cunt? My post about the Ys IV history between Rachel and I, with her eBayID photo, the horrifying expression of sexual interest that you so oppose (you know, since it's 2013 and not 1950, which occurs everyday in many other forums, daily pop culture, music, entertainment, etc.), ALL that, would be on the FIRST post of the first page, right at the top and I would wager that'd bother you A LOT more than my posts being on the 2nd page of this here existing thread... Just a hunch, I *could* be wrong, but just a hunch. You see my point, right sir? Your desire to censor it here would give it more visibility as its own thread... What good would your hypocritical point have been then? (An annoying, heckling point, right back at ya obviously.) Of course, yeah, we know, you want it just censored period... ;) I understood you loud and clear on that from the first post.

I mean, Sinistron was arguing with this Adol guy once for about 11 whole pages. Adol just kept saying "I am not listening to you, you are stupid." or something like that. But NO, Sinistron would not stop until Aaron stepped in.
I don't even want to know what the hell is going on with ProfessorProfessorson and Sign of Zeta. Why is he wasting time making shitty, non funny videos? What even happened? Or with DarkKholbold, he just had some screw up with saying the wrong worth of some Super CDs.

I was agreeing with Nightwolve, but ummm, ok. I think you are over estimating the anger level there. I seriously doubt he was sitting there seething, foaming at the mouth etc. Somewhat long winded post, sure, but that does not in any way imply anger. He wasn't exactly calling you every name in the book, maybe just one or two, implying annoyance if anything, nor was he making threats of violence towards you. Anyway, point of my post being, was waiting for you to even try to attempt to mount a worthy reply back to his post. Good luck with it if you do, or don't. Your call.

For someone decrying stupid arguments, you'd do well to avoid them yourself in your opening protest! I think the image of you strapped in the chair was better than any textual argument that could be made, but yeah, the idea that if I make a long post, you're gonna have to forcibly waste your miserable life reading it, and that by implication I should shorten them to suit your "needs" is insulting to logic and reason. I can tell in the first paragraph if I'm gonna be interested or not in reading the rest of what someone has to say... So you know what I do ?? Gosh golly, I f*cking stop reading (AKA ignore the rest)! Even if I'm interested, I might stop reading just out of laziness at the time, and if so, well, my loss!
Solution: you're welcome to pass my posts by or hit the ignore, I don't really care which cause as far as I can tell, you're a non-factor to this board (as I told you in FS) and if you disappeared tomorrow, I don't think it'd make a difference in quality, either way. You're not funny, entertaining, nor interesting, and that is only from what I have seen of you, limited as it has been, so I could be wrong about that, but I'm gonna point it out since you made judgments about the quality of some veterans here - You wanted to be wiseguy contrarian against me in particular.

I mean, Sinistron was arguing with this Adol guy once for about 11 whole pages. Adol just kept saying "I am not listening to you, you are stupid." or something like that. But NO, Sinistron would not stop until Aaron stepped in.
I'm not familiar with the incident, and I don't care, but this is no equivalent. It's not that long, and the people arguing have varied. Plus, taking cheapshots at those you dislike while avoiding those that you do or propping them up (Dickki) was no way to end this, but to prolong it!

I don't even want to know what the hell is going on with ProfessorProfessorson and Sign of Zeta.
Then stay out of the thread. Who are you again, and why do I give a f*ck what you think ?

Why is he wasting time making shitty, non funny videos? What even happened?
You can read, can't ya ? As for his videos, they were quite hilarious! I wasn't aware of such software and sure, after a couple of times, what was done would lose comedic effect, but since it's new to me, it was quite entertaining. You've got a hard-on for Professor evidently, so the "enemy" of course is NEVER funny... I know how that works.

Or with DarkKholbold, he just had some screw up with saying the wrong worth of some Super CDs.
Why is this guy Dickki such an underdog hero to clowns like you that'd you shoehorn in a shoddy defense for him in the middle of this?? I just don't get it... You love eBay prices or hate Necro or both ??

You guys will probably flip shit at me or whatever, or waste time analyzing sentence by sentence of what I am saying,
So what you're saying or rather predicting is that by insulting me and others, that we'll probably respond by insulting you back ? Wow, this guy must have a crystal ball!!! NO way he could've known that this would happen without one! NO WAY! And so OK, by preemptively predicting and stating this, you're, I dunno, somehow portraying yourself above it or hoping to deter it ?

but this is a video game forum, not some nerd rage forum.
So you're not a nerd ? And this wasn't minor raging of your own here?

Everybody here is great, and better than this.
Take cheapshots at multiple people and then pander by end of it... Good strategy! You should play thread hero more often!

Somebody lock this thread. It bores the hell out of me.
Somebody show lukester here where the exit is because he bores the hell out of me! Surely you can figure out how to ignore one measly thread that so bores you in a pool of dozens and dozens of them at any given point in time rather than calling for it to be locked to keep those you insulted from responding back to you...
No, I wouldn't have made the joke myself, but not all women are ultra sensitive prudes so wracked with reverse chauvinism that they're going to avoid a web forum en masse because of one stupid joke. They've got all sorts of other reasons to avoid the forum. :)
Thought I'd point this out in that you were the only that caught it from this angle, the further negative implications of what he was saying. Basically, in attempting to wildly and falsely generalize me as anti-woman over an issue with a particular individual in my past, he was also negatively generalizing/slandering girl gamers are as hyper-sensitive, bigoted, intolerant prudes that would essentially boycott an entire forum over such minor comments, and not take some of the bad (in their view), with the good, in terms of the sum total used in judging an individual, etc. Simply saying, "Hey, she's cute, I'd hit it!" would somehow be enough to judge a man as totally boorish/offensive and warrant a whole blanket boycott of a forum and the rest of its members, etc. Also, are girl gamers not smart enough to use the ignore feature if they're that sensitive according to this cunt's generalization ?? So yeah, he didn't just slander me, he also slandered them (with this imaginary version of his to attack me with) in the process based on gender and revealed things about himself!
I'd understand if they're getting unwanted flirts all the damn time by multiple male members, where it begins to go into annoyance or harassment, but that sure as hell wasn't this! I happen to have some grievances with this individual like the thread creator, so that is why there was some lampooning and/or negative feelings here (though *most* comments were complimentary!!), and yes, she happens to be female, but that's beside the point! If she wasn't, you simply wouldn't have seen the, "Hey, she's cute, I'd hit it!" but everything else would've been the same and this cunt can't tell me he hasn't seen far worse in terms of mudslinging, bringing "personal crap" into an exchange to embarrass someone that insulted or wronged you in some way! Why this guy tried to turn it into something so outrageous and generalize it I'm not sure... Best guess would be he had a hard-on for me for other reasons before this thread and simply used the occasion for it. His PM would seem to indicate that, telling me that he had early impressions of me (has had his "eye on me," so to speak) and where he simply implies/insinuates sinister notions, leaving them specifically unsaid (as he did with his last posts here, he doesn't back them up!), being the lying, slanderous cunt that he is!

This just in: Lukester = non-factor.
Tonight at 11: Is NightWolve's anti-woman behavior the REAL reason behind the soop/Donna tragedy?
