teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Ah, that's just as well, you did the right thing to take it off the streets! One of my best friends overdosed on that stuff, it's incredibly destructive, it had ruined his life for well over a decade... He tried a methadone clinic for a few years to ween off of it but got addicted to that also...

Since I was the family contact to his aunt who coincidentally called me as he was dying on that stuff (mixing it with alcohol), I had to break the news to her when I saw police and ambulance arrive at his house... I walked in as the medics were giving up resuscitation telling me it's over for him... :/

That’s terrible! My best friend’s wife is hooked on opioid pain killers but is still in denial even though she has tried to get... street alternatives. I have no doubt she feels real pain, but I’m sure it’s amplified by withdrawal. It causes daily conflict with my friend and is ruining his marriage so I hope she gets help soon.

Yeah, prescription narcotics are insane when you think about how addictive they are. 

I was reading something recently where they talked about how in the 70-80s many narcotics had side effects that were so bad that it made it easier to get off them, nowadays there are almost no side effects which makes getting off them even harder.

Nice Soul Star is a goodie, that's one of the few I'm missing for the Mega-CD too!

It's gotten pricey complete so i just settle for a disc only copy since it was the cheapest to buy.

Just asking i thought about buying that compilation because of it.

just like they do with star wars, they keep making new “versions” of crap i have already owned for years.  if i had a ps4 i would certainly buy it, so dont get me wrong.  for some reason i can never have enough discs of ristar and comix zone

Yeah these genesis compilations have been done to death all ready.I've heard the online is awful so i don't know if i'll bother with this collection.I have seen plenty of complaints to wheres the saturn collection,but that system isn't easy to emulate.

I've got a lot of catching up to you to do...I'm still happy with MSX carts for now. I didn't get a real pad so I hacked up a genny 3-button and it's fine for now. My initial thoughts on the MSX: I knew the scrolling would be choppy, so that was not much of a disappointment, but the music more than makes up for it!
