Speed runner extraordinaire John should know that cartridges absolutely did have different game versions, and some were known to be completely broken. Publishers would sometimes put out versions they knew were completely broken while the developers worked on a patch for the later cartridges to use.

Reason being it was easier to push out a game they knew didn’t work because most people a. wouldn’t write in to get a revision copy or b. even get that far in the game. Pushing a game back that’s super close to release will piss off shareholders and break deadlines

Patches for PC games used to go out on a floppy that you could order. There was also games that wiped your drive when uninstalling(woops!) leading to massive recalls because obligatory and easily accessible day 1 patches weren't a thing.

Plus the complexity of the games was far lower. PC games were by far the buggiest because they were very ambitious and had some wild ideas, especially the RPGs. Reading the bug list for Ultima VII feels eerily similar to reading the bugs of Cyberpunk 2077, except Ultima VII is from 1992 and I don't think the original release of Daggerfall(1996) could be completed.

Yeah, because they are so responsible and good at choosing things for themselves.

Exactly. We make kids wait until they are 21 before they can drink, smoke, and vote, so they sure as fuck can wait until then to take titty skittles and chop their dicks/tits off.
 
Great story John, I bet no one thought you were an absolute fucking dickhead.

"Looking for something you think we probably dont have? You mean like the most common consumable fluid used in every single vehicle?"

----

"Why would I drive to the store if..."

I have no fucking clue, because if I were looking for a super-obscure manufacturer- specific part I'd probably pick up the phone and call first.

Jesus, this reads like me trolling hole in the wall computer shops. I'd go asking for some complex rack mounted setups or niche compilers and the poor minimum wage employee had to put up with my shit.

The difference is I was 14 yo asshole, not 41 yo asshole. And I still feel remorse.

When I was a kid I used to hit the dumber guys at best buy and circuit city with star trek technobabble. I still have a weird mix of remorse and pride from it.

One guy actually caught on right away and went along with it. That guy was hilarious and awesome.

That's a learning moment, when you met someone who can take what you dish and spin it around. You learn other people are tuned it and you're hot shit hero only in a theater of your mind. A lesson lost on Bri who got used to people validating Wu's delusions of grandeur.

Posting stuff like that when you're over the age when you can legally buy alcohol is a no win scenario, you're either a lair (r/thathappened) or an asshole.

In a strange coincidence, Bri's both.

I like how that Rod Prince guy asked if Bri was being dumb or an asshole and he answered the question by misinterpreting what was asked.

John needs to learn about rockauto. It obviously never happened, I mean, what kind of cunt would go to a store, and ask for a part they know they don't have. Just call up and say "Hey I'm looking for" and they are usually happy to help.

All that aside, he walked in the store, breathing heavy, and the clerk didn't let out a "How can I help you ma'am?" It was probably more like this.

Or not go to the store because there's no conceivable chance they stock it.

John purposely talking bullshit because that's not a real fucking part. It's a compartment in 911s that people used to hide shit in, hence the term "smugglers box".

So of course like others have said, this is completely made up.

I think there's a kernel of truth in it

"Hey brohan! you are pretty macho and you said torque vectoring so you know your rally stuff-- so here's some wiper fluid to get the dust off the screen from all your bitchin rally drifts from your cutting brake which I'm sure you use. I mean I'd hate to see you take another big hit in the mouth...oral surgeons couldn't put it back together huh...good thing we're dudes! chicks dig scars"

I though "smuggler's box" was when you turn a dick inside out
 
I think you mean an A/C relay. You don't need an AC relay unless you are running an invertor

scratch that. John IS running an inverter!


say, since John is a "racer" and says he likes his cars super light...why is he putting in all that plumbing and loading the engine with another pump to drive?


a timer board AND A/C that makes no sense

In a targa top no less...that's some karen ass poseur shit.
