No, it’s not just mobile. I can’t find the feature on a regular browser either.
Been looking for this feature especially more in the last week or so. 
One of my pet peeves is sellers (mostly on eBay) think their fightstick is worth more just because it has custom artwork on it. Come on now, 9 times out of 10 people who buy the stick are going to change the artwork. I can understand a little bit of mark up since different buttons, ball top, and plexi, but your stick isn’t worth $100+ more just because it has your favorite anime character on it.

Hmmm. My first time owning Seimitsu PS-15 buttons (needed them to mount into the thin Exar Exaprize stick). It’s odd; if you hit the plunger on the sides (ie, not dead-center) there’s a certain amount of “grinding” of the plunger onto the rims. Maybe I just need to break them in…
Hell, if anything not having original artwork should lower and not raise the value of a stick.
People acting like their custom round one TE is the gold plated TE from Evo and its still sealed in the box.
No body cares for your custom art work, especially when the buyer is putting their own art in place anyways.
Also unless I am paying for new artwork that I commissioned myself and having it installed with a new plexy, dont charge me extra for it.
I would most likely going to hate what ever terrible anime character that been plastered across with assets you stole from deviant art.
While were talking about pet peeves, gamers on forums trying to act elite as they played 1st and 2nd Gen consoles back in the late 70s. No one who plays Street Fighter now cares that you cut your gamer teeth on Magnavox Odyssey 2, Fairchild Channel F, and the Vectrex.

Next week, I will have been a member of SRK for 18 years. I have multiple forum accounts on other sites that are 10+ years old; but my SRK forum account has been with me through thick and thin, and is my oldest account by far. I remember living in Northern California basically homeless at one point and I was still going to the public library every day to check the forums. I’ve met so many people through SRK and experienced stuff that I wouldn’t have otherwise, like a stint for a couple of years as a tournament organizer. I’m glad to have found my home and haunts through TT, and I love all you crazy bastards; especially you @d3v and Markman. I may endlessly be trying to keep up with these young whippersnappers playing now; but 2019 is gonna be my best year ever!

Nice.
18 years is a long time to be part of a forum.
As of next January, I would have been around here for 10 years… even though this account says that I joined in 2011. My original account was made in January 2009, and my first post here was about padhacking the Intec Retro Controller for Wii (this post). Somehow, I lost that account (probably from a forum upgrade?), so here I am with the one that was made in 2011.

I can’t be the only guy that’s really annoyed that Smash Bros Melee still has a main tournament spot at EVO2019, right?

Did Ultimate get a spot too? That would be the only reason I’d be upset.
Yes, Ultimate did get a spot, fortunately.
But then begs the question: do we need two spots for TWO Smash games?
We really don’t. Melee was great, not arguing that; and Brawl had issues being competitive. But there was Smash4 and now Ultimate. Melee needs to go to the sidelines.
To me, it’d be the equivalent of putting 3rd Strike up as a main tournament at EVO (alongside SFV). Is/was it great? For sure. But it’s the past. The spotlights should be placed on the modern games. The past/older games should be relegated to smaller side tournaments.

well, I’m not the Cannon’s; so I can’t honestly answer that question. But let’s run with your point for a moment.
Hypothetical scenario: Say at Evo two years from now (Evo 2020) they made the decision to remove Melee from the main tournament list and relegate it to a side event. The question would then be how much of an attendance drop to the event/people watching streams would there be if this happened, along with pushback from a certain percentage of the Smash community through various forms of social media. Let’s also keep in mind that each of those tournaments the past couple of years (Smash 4/Melee) has been say a 2k person bracket each year. It then turns into, do we want to turn away people who want to compete who would give us money to register to attend; and in turn bring revenue into Las Vegas via flying into the city and staying in hotels on or off the strip (into the casinos as well if they’re of age). There’s seriously a lot to be considered here.
On unrelated news, I just modded an original NES Zapper to work with NES Zapper games that has a LCDMOD patch applied to it. I got my Zapper to work with my LCD HDTV.
It’s only really working due to the simplistic nature of the NES Zapper.
I did’t take pics but here a articles on the subject

Had to check my profile and some random posts to figure out how long I’ve been around here. 9 years and change is my best guess. Had to figure out how to get a Happ stick after SFIV dropped. DIdn’t have a clue what Happ/iL even meant. Since then I’ve painted and mirror polished a few cases, put together a few wireless dual mod sticks (thanks Gummo), learned to solder SMD parts, spent waaaaaay more on a custom stainless steel case than I’ll tell my wife (thanks to 'Tech), went to Otakon ('sup darksakul!), linked up with a template savant and shipped a project to the Philippines (d3v, you’re my guy until I get too old to play anymore) and have more Rowlf swag than I imagined (thanks to jdm’s randomly researched SS gift and Kyle running with it for a few consecutive years). Shrimp chips, Dremel pillows and anime figurines. Wouldn’t trade any of it (or any of you all) for the world.
We need to get into the steering wheel meta.
that’s pretty wild that he can play that character at that high a competitive level with a arcade wheel.
So a couple of things have popped off recently. A friend I know who lives in the greater Chicagoland area scored a NeoGeo Candy Cab, and he plans on restoring it. Of course, I’m extremely jealous of said friend.
Secondly, I’m waiting on a couple of things to come in so I can quickly plan my trip to Combo Breaker next year, provided they have the tournament of course. The plan is once dates are announced (I’m hoping later this month) to book my flight out of Dallas along with probably staying within close proximity of the host hotel. If the money is there, I can do all of this at the same time. However, I am not sure if Mrs. Mike will be coming with me to the event yet. i’m being allowed one solo trip next year to any gaming event that I want (within reason of course). So if the dates do get announced soon, I have to move quickly and get everything done.
Oh, and someone local to my wife’s place is selling a original Bad Dudes cabinet for $450. I’m really tempted to get it.
So is anyone into the MISTer fpga thing? I bought one and this is pretty damn cool. Its got most 8 bit systems running, snes and megadrive are coming along nicely, and People are working on neo geo and cps cores.
Its open source too
happy Thanksgiving to my fellow American TTers!
If you’re @d3v or live outside the US, happy Thursday.
Don’t get bodied if you go Black Friday shopping tomorrow.

I’ve always wanted to head to the US for Black Friday shopping.
In Canada here, we’ve adopted Black Friday as an event, so we get some deals and stuff across most of our stores. But nothing to the degree of what I hear of what’s available in the US.
One of these years, I’ll head down to the US for Black Friday. Though my wife consistently tells me I’m crazy and has already refused to go with me.
if anyone wanted to see the new razer buttons
I owned myself with bad translation.
