    “Everyone from any other country than the U.S. and people who claim to be on the same side of politics as me are morally, ethically, and functionally perfect in every way! Bad people only exist on the conservative side of U.S. politics!”

    Fuck maga, and all that, but this is a pretty fucking brain-dead take.










  • I feel like a lot of the retro gaming hobby can end up being closer to a tech hobby, I have more fun cracking old systems and making them do new things than I do actually playing games on them. If you’re just looking to play retro games without the tech hobbyist externalities then a ready to go system with a pre-loaded rom library makes a lot of sense.

    Edit: A great example being my brother, I hack stuff for him and help him with computer stuff all the time because he wants to play the old games but he just doesn’t have an interest in tech as a hobby, just gaming as far as that goes. I set up devices for him (because I like to) to essentially be one of these pre-loaded machines that he doesn’t have to fuck with and can just run the games libraries I put on them. He’s not too dumb to do it on his own, he’s a smart guy, but he’s just not into tinkering with tech, it’s not his thing, it bores the hell out of him and I get it, but he really loves being able to play all his favorite games.
