    How are they joysticks on that one? I got the Street Fighter one awhile back and the joysticks are really crappy. The ball on the sticks keep screwing off(nothing a little loc tite couldnt fix) and the stick itself is really sensitive and cant pickup the correct moves.

    I just checked them, the balls are still on tight. The metal base of the joystick rotates, so I dont think it'll fall yet. They are a little bit smaller and more delicate than i remember full size arcade controllers.

    I've had it for two days though, so I'm not sure I have a well formed opinion at this point.

    Yeah I was joking. If that wasn't a white guys post I don't what the F would be.

    I have the SF2 one as well and literally broke the joystick within five minutes of play. I was prepared and replaced the sticks with Sanwas. 1000% better.

    You got a police DNA kit to put you in their database...lol. People don’t realize that if a close relative submits their DNA, you are basically already in those databases because they map genealogy based on family information.

    That’s a big shrug from me. DNA is the fingerprint of the 21st century. The funny thing is that in the future you will be able to alter it to a point of taking a new identity...then they will go back to fingerprints.

    Boys got a Nintendo Switch - low key my best gift (Santa somehow slipped in 2k20 and breath of the wild)

    I tell everyone to not worry about me for Xmas, anything I really need I normally end up grabbing

    P.S. iPad Pro of five years still works great

    I do Wine into Water for charity every year at Eclessia. You should check it out.

    How long did it take to do? That's an impressive upgrade on the controls

    That's awesome, yeah, I'm familiar with some of the steps on building/redoing a cabinet, just wanted to see what you thought of doing it on these . Glad to know it wasn't bad.

    Everybody buys ropers, but I still like the look of a traditional cowboy heel.

    I got:

    - A Tom Ford pocket square
    - A Star Wars pocket square
    - Airpod Pros (I didn't know how much I'd love them)
    - Nike Zooms to run my fat butt off

    How did everyone do in '22?

    Santa got the kids an Infinity Game Table which is a massive hit. Kids play it constantly.

    Got some mugs and a new wallet, both of which I actually needed. Lego sets, Hot wheels, video games and board games were all in play.

    Kids also got a Stairslide, which they use almost nonstop. Their legs are going to be jacked.

    I got three gifts, two from my bosses (a cookbook and a bunch of seasonal snacks). My parents got me an air compressor. Lol

    I’m actually really excited about the compressor, tbh. Just was one of those “wtf is this” gifts.

    Yeah, the fact that he said WTF is this gift makes me question his manhood.

    Apparently so. I called my dad yesterday (I wasn't home for Christmas) and thanked him again and he proceeded to go off for 20 minutes on how "you don't know how much you need an air compressor until you get one" and listed every thing he uses his for outside of pumping an occasional tire.

    I got 2 Lexus' parked in my snow-filled driveway with 2 human sized red bows. Christmas jingles played in the background and white people were smiling.
