A lie in any language is a lie in every language.
This wasn't a bump.
This was an historical excavation.
IDK trying to locate him so I can make him an admin @ Neo Geo HellWhat happened to Dion since those days?
22 years later and the performative shredding of the inserts is still so weird to me. Just..why? Even if you’re insistent that your product is a better one, why would you do that? Especially when you’re leeching off of that company’s name, you’re ostensibly a distributor of their products. Then and now it’s just like, “hey look at us, we’re total douchebags!”
Shut upTheir central thesis was that nobody is more SNK than them including actual SNK. This extends even to being sued completely out of the scene by actual SNK for inexcusable practices that make no sense. That just proves how much more real they are as does all their other weirdness, it cements their Freak status.
The shredding was their loyalty test. “Who are you going to believe, us or your own lying eyes/SNK?” Since SNK’s inserts lacked consistency they would make “corrected” ones, ones better than SNK. Once this is achieved, why would you want lesser ones from what they proved is a lesser company? Why would you want anything from the lesser company? And if their inserts are better why not everything else? (Because inserts and conversions are all they can physically do, having no input whatsoever on SNK code, art, manufacturing, sound, etc and no rights to anything? Not even the name Neo Geo Freak was theirs. What? Shhhh!)
I’m mainly impressed with their ability to court the “dumb foreigner” with this weird posturing and then screw them for four or five digit sums per game. When you behave the way they do, you alienate %99 of the world…but oh that wacky lucrative %1 and the funds they dump upon you if you can get them to believe your bullshit!
Sane customers are a low margin pain in the ass. It’s better to figure out who the they are and alienate them right away so you can concentrate on the tiny sliver of society who isn’t bothered that they, for example, highjacked and ruined every single copy of a major Neo release. Some people see KOF 2000 US as a game you can only get from NGF, those are the morons they want. The reality is that you can’t really get it from anyone, not the actual thing SNK shipped, they ruined every copy by hand, but people with that level of awareness are trouble anyway, too many questions. Time to get that shit blessed by the pope!
Related: there are only two types of people with a “roll” in modern America. Pathetic mob worshiping losers who’s entire net worth is in that roll or actual criminals or maybe a mix of both. To think that makes you look like anything other than a shithead or pure trouble you have to be seriously up your own asshole.
ftfyLMAO trying to look gangsta ends up looking like an old man low-class Greek faggot.

i dunno. 'lie' in korean, phonetically spelled, is 'geojismal'. they don't look the same.A lie in any language is a lie in every language.
Teh drama. He knew it would create drama in the "community"... that's why nearly 20 years later people are still talking about it... much in the same way as people do about Rot jamming a copy of Metal Slug up his ass, clearly mistaking it for a suppository.
Wat? Pics pleaseTeh drama. He knew it would create drama in the "community"... that's why nearly 20 years later people are still talking about it... much in the same way as people do about Rot jamming a copy of Metal Slug up his ass, clearly mistaking it for a suppository.
Who? Dion or Rot?Why couldn’t he just light himself on fire? We’d never forget that either.
YesWho? Dion or Rot?
Perhaps if Rot had jammed Dion up his ass all would be right with the world.
