Thank fuck I got a 7800X3D instead of whatever garbage Intel had at the time.

Finally someone like me. I’m going through these comments reading things about wanting friends in other countries, having an experience, whatever.

And I’m like, I worked so hard to be comfortable at home, why would I spend 4 figures to leave? I absolutely have bought things 5 years ago that I still use and enjoy.

I’m lucky enough to live in a city with tonnnnns of museums, food from all over, and cultural hotspots in different neighborhoods.

Life is so absolutely chaotic these days that I’d rather just relax at home with the things I worked hard to get.

And of course, all that said, I am going on vacation in a week to a place further away than I’ve ever been before, so, ya know. Maybe once every few years is fine, but I’m not going to foam over it the whole time between.

How did I not know they had a remaster studio? No wonder they kept remaking 5 year old games every 5 years.

I save certain videos from certain creators for the computer at home. Some things I’ll watch while on lunch at work, but those are the small screen things.

Ah, the Pacer.

Good. This is a good sign. May the amounts ever become less.

Not really. It’s not necessarily worse, but it sure as shit isn’t better. It took my parents a long time to get their shit together, so I’m ahead of them in that regard.

Except having MY shit together does not give me more money than they had, adjusted for inflation.

It’s fine for me on ReVanced and desktop. Looks like there’s a volcano erupting and the Toy Story 5 trailer came out.

You’ll also hear some wicked drums being played in a hallway.

Yeah, sounds like your typical nazi reddit admins.

Well that title is certainly intriguing, having never heard of this before.

I was 17/18, finishing high school and going in to college. To put it bluntly, she was pretty dumb, which is probably how I got with her to begin with. I was, of course blinded by the light, revved up like a douche, another runner in the night. She broke up with me before I left for college, so I luckily got out of that one.

She ended up dropping out of community college and became heavily religious after not showing a single interest in that sort of thing, at all, while we were together. Last I saw, she’s been going on mission trips for the last decade or so and seems happy, so I’m glad she found something she liked.

I swear I remember looking this up a year ago and hearing this. Was that just a rumor then?

Analogue Pocket is well worth the cost if you’re fine with sticking with 2D. I loaded my Pocket full of every single ROM I could find and routinely find great games for it that I’ll then seek out an original copy of.

Absolutely. I was born in 1996 but got into retro games in 2007 thanks to AVGN, after which retro computers came shortly after. I learned how to program in BASIC during covid and made a text adventure RPG that I then translated into Python to learn that language.

I still think BASIC is a great programming language to learn for a beginner. It gives you the blocks of what you’ll need to tackle a modern language rather than being overwhelmed.

If I was given a laptop in middle school or elementary school, I’d have gotten absolutely nothing done. We dicked around with the computers when we could use them once a week or so, let alone daily.

That’s why we usually bring half of it home for breakfast tomorrow, or lunch/dinner later.

I should have tried to make my racetrack into Rainbow Road. Now that’s an idea.

I had all 5 3D GTA games come out before I was 17. The first rated M game I bought myself on launch day was GTA V. I’m almost 30 now.

Of course, GTA isn’t necessarily a kid’s game, but we all know who’s playing it. Same deal there. There’s a whole generation of people out there who don’t even know we had 6 stars.
