Remember that time he blasted us on Instagram for giving hard critiques on that nasa build? Because we called out his broken aircraft carrier design. Threatening that he snitched us out to the mods because he didn’t like the difference of opinions. The irony of him telling others what is in the spirit of BYOAC. Like being a scumbag and leeching off the community for personal gain is in the spirit of things. The guy still never got it. While that shape looks (subjectively) cool, it’s functionality is flawed. Bad positioning to p3 and p4. Chance still couldn’t really figure out that arcade cabs need to be part form and part function. Not just bling bling. But then again, he is a poseur. |

I've noticed that 99% of people who aren't into arcade cabinets but like video games want 1 cabinet that plays everything under the sun and lights up like a christmas tree. They will never build a second one or notice a problem with an 8-way and Pac-Man and they must think there's nothing better than a good 40 hour session of Final Fantasy VI while standing up (because they have to have literally every game available at a moment's notice). Oh, and it has to be 4 players for the 1 time a year everyone gets drunk and plays TMNT for 20 minutes - but also eff P3 and P4, they get angled controls and a horrible view. This build is absolutely perfect for those people which is why it gets so much attention. Or maybe looks can be deceiving? I've never actually tried it. |

It has a pile of shiny baubles and bits that scratch all the itches of the uneducated. For those who don't want to work at it... there it is. In so many instances I've watched superior marketing and salesmanship make an inferior product outsell the real deal. |

I was wondering if he figured out a way to script changing 3228 posts but based on a few timestamp samples he spent at least 4 hours doing it. |

They could easily be edited back, I know Saint took a backup before I helped him with the search. |
