So, this is a different kind of post, but I wanted to share that my home burned down.
Everybody is safe, except for our cat.

Sadly, nearly my entire video game collection, that took me the better part of nine years to build, has been completely destroyed. I only saved my Switch and my 3DS. Everything else is gone. I'm devastated.

I'm glad everyone is safe.  Hang in there.

I have no words. I'm very glad to hear that everyone is safe. Best wishes moving forward.

Very sorry to hear this man..... Glad the family is okay though.  I know it's hard to not focus on all that was lost, but take some comfort in knowing you still have each other. Best wishes

Holy crap, that's just awful. Please, please, PLEASE keep us updated on your situation as best you can... and keep safe, my good man.

That is awful. Someone I work with had this happen to them, I know it's rough. Don't be afraid to ask people for help, it's needed at times like this.

A GoFundMe is being set up tomorrow. I'll share a link then.

Glad to hear everyone is safe. What else can we do to help?

Good to hear you're fine, try and take things easy for the time being.

This is the GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/lees-emergency-fundraiser?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet

One of my bigger fears, since I don't live in a place where tornado's or hurricanes really ever happen, I am sorry this fear came true in your case. I am sad your cat didn't make it but the humans are safe and thats the important part. Best of luck on moving on to the next step and building a new and maybe even better tomorrow.

I'm sorry to hear about this devastating event that happened. I can't imagine the loss you must be facing at the moment. I myself was in a house that caught on fire when I was a kid, 1/4 of my house burned from a kitchen fire. I understand that stuff can leave you emotionally distraught for quite some time. I hope there are local friends and family that can help you out. I sincerely wish you luck in your recovery.   

So sorry for all that was lost, and glad most of your family are OK. Feel free to PM if there is any help we can provide.

This suck man, I would help you financially but we are trying to a new van for my disabled daughters. But if you want, I can help by sending you a video game care package.  PM me and I'll see what I can do to help!

I had a similar intention, so let's coordinate what we send :)

Sounds good.  If we are all on the discord we could make a room there or make a private chat.

I'm down for that. I have some dupes ready to go, and could easily grab a few things off the shelf.

Hey now,







I was gonna turn this year's Not-So-Secret-Santa into a drive to help reestablish LeeJ07's collection. I even came up with a codename for the deal, "Operation: Reset." However, it looks like a few of you have already taken the initiative, and I'd be more than happy to join in! I have a decent stack of extra games & systems lying around, so let's do this!

Just one thing: what's a "discord?"


ANYway, I'll shoot y'all a PM in a bit...

I've had a few messages about doing care packages. So we dont double up and send you doubles of what you already have or you dont want, do you mind if we use this thread, or should we use another?

Hey now,



It's probably a good idea to have a dedicated OPERATION: RESET thread to keep everything in order. Only thing is, should it be placed in Idle Chatter, or elsewhere? Seeing as how we're helping rebuild a fellow RF Gentleman's collection, perhaps it should be placed in Collection Connection. And I wonder if writing and posting a blog about Operation: Reset will increase it's visibility... hmmm...

Let me ask some admins

https://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=19199.new#new donation page set.  And it will be on the front page of the site on the 10th.  LEEJ07 if you can make the first post on what was saved?  Also if you have any games or systems fire or water damages I can try and restore them.

Oh ! This is terrible! The fires were a real disaster. I'm really sorry about your cat! And I don't know how to find the words to sympathize with you. In 2016, we also had a fire. The house in which I grew up burned down and had to rebuild it. It was very difficult. We could hardly choose a good project. Find a reliable construction company. Then, after the construction, I had to deal with design and repair . To choose high-quality doors that fit us in style, we had to search for a long time and we found them on doordesignlab.com (https://doordesignlab.com/front-entry-steel-appartment-metal-exterior-prehung-doors.html)
