  It sucks, really. I prefer playing on original hardware but the collectors market has made that nearly impossible. I’d love to own all my favorite SNES games from my childhood but that is going to cost me around $1200 just for a few titles. That’s almost my mortgage payment for video games.

  This is why emulation is such a godsend. It gives enthusiasts access to the game without having to navigate around shitbirds asking $400 for a trash repro copy of Chrono Trigger.

  I haven’t owned a Nintendo console since the halcyon days of the SNES and shit like this doesn’t encourage me to break that habit.

  Lol, retirement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like many Americans have an arrogant personality trait?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  All this shit could be said of every other country in the world. Americans don’t have the market cornered on being a prick.

  I watched a Chinese tour group practically destroy a museum exhibit. Germans don’t tip. Some Brits still carry a colonial attitude when it comes to people of color. We had to ban an Indian family from this restaurant I worked at because they thought they could bring the caste system with them on their vacation. In my early twenties, I almost got into fist fight with a Russian guy who didn’t understand why I couldn’t break his $20 with the money in my till.

  Go out into the world and actually interact with people instead of painting broad stereotypical strokes on the Internet. You’ll see the capacity for being an asshole isn’t relegated to one nationality or ethnicity.

  Lol, people are still using SJW as a snarl world in 2025?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there something similar to the old Might and Magics?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The first Wizardry got a remaster last year with some quality of life updates.

  Every person who ever said the word “cuck” in public with zero irony.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okami. That game was an absolute joy to play and the visuals and music were beautiful. My wife even mentioned that I seemed calmer and relaxed while playing it.
