Others
- We forgot to post the “Normal of the Week” here for two weeks straight. Here are the last three:
- No Honor Crew facebook group is 10 years old and coincidently reached 1K members. Forums and groups come and go but NHC is holding strong as the most international reference for ST.
- You can now pre-order the detachable Sanwa stick (at FocusAttack) that we talked in previous weeks.
- There is a relatively recent article that extensively talks about the world behind CRT preservation. Definitely relevant for the ST community.
