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 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.
I really should dig out my old 3DS XL. I left lots of unfinished games on that flash cart.
You should, it has a great library. It's also so easy to hack and download old games. Basically has a free appstore of games from the 3DS, DS, and GBA eras.
