Nobel Prize to Be Awarded to Forum User From 9 Years Ago With Same Niche Problem

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.

Huh, I never knew there was a mobile version of the site.

I have actually gone back and posted some comments starting with "Dear people from the future..." on some issues after I figured it out because of this comic. I wonder if anyone has ever seen those and got the joke.

in this case sometimes web.archive.org has archived the original answer
