    Love telling this story.

    Had a very niche problem because the two programs involved were unusual. Didn’t have any hope at all, but found the answer on Spiceworks, first Google result.

    Couldn’t believe this guy had the exact problem, and right there was the answer! Who is this mad genius?!

    Checked the username. It was me. From 2-years previous where I went back in after I figured it out and posted the fix.

    Be the hero!

      Same, pcsx2 running yakuza. Started playing it and found trouble. Searched and couldn’t believe someone not only had that problem but fixed it themselves!

      That person was me. I devolved in the time between. I didn’t even know until I went to thank the person and the system told me that email was in use.

      I have a similar experience where I searched for an issue I’d never been able to fix hoping that with people using the software for years now that someone figured it out. I found one search result with someone detailing the exact same issue. It was me, like 5 years ago…and still no one had been able to answer.
