So lately I've been playing through games that I wanted to play when I was a kid, but couldn't. I'm currently in the year 1992. I think I'll be okay for a few decades. Other people can send their ID's to their 800€ gaming consoles. I'll be using my OG xbox as a emulator and Nintendo can go suck my dick about it. I'm seriously gonna buy a good set of solar panels, build a log cabin in the woods and just live there. I'd probably starve to death but I'm suicidal anyway so it would be a nice adventure before the final release.

I'm with you. I used to love being in on the bleeding edge of technology. Now it just disappoints me. Enshittifcation is the norm. Instead of "how can we make this game more fun," it's all about "how can we wring more profit out of this," and gathering personal data for marketing is a favorite method. I never thought I'd become a Luddite, but here I am.

Need a room mate? I've wanted to do this for years now lol. I mean, except the suicide part.

I'm doing the same and streaming my experience. I bought a Retrofreak and playing a bunch of obscure Japanese famicom, superfamicom, sega mark iii, master system, mega drive, game gear, game boy, gba, and finally pc-engine games. I live right next to a used game store too. It's so great. I haven't bought a new PC game for myself in about a year (I buy switch games for my kids). Oh! I also hacked my 3ds lately so I'm playing a bunch of games on that too.

This is also me. Come step into the future with me by coming to the past where everything is better!
