Mastercard is REALLY trying to pass the buck off onto banks (who, granted, ARE part of the problem but its still mostly MC and Visa)
do as Ana says here and tell them your bank told you to contact THEM. easy way to tack on more time in the call

Disagree with that last part but it is the console with the most amount of hidden gems to discover I'd say.
That's also not saying much when ps2 held the monopoly on third party games in it's day.
Ima let you finish euro g, but 360/ps3/wii/ds/psp all had plenty of hidden gems of their own.

I called my mom to ask what I should bring for Thanksgiving dinner. I then suggested fruit salad
She yelled to my dad "chat is my son cooked? Beta fruit salad frfr"

Ironic for me cause I strongly prefer their vanilla games. I can't stand catherine fb, p4g and p5r.

Sega has admitted sales of its games may be lower-than-expected due to players awaiting "definitive editions" before buying. https://bit.ly/4imXUqA

Let's go over some of the mods, as well. This is that SNEdge that i've been hearing whispers about. It doesn't work the same way as the Edge Enhancer, but it's at least better than that crappy RGB Filter mod. Hopefully I won't have to add 330ohm pull-downs like I had to with the first one I tried.
