I haven't had a gaming PC in what feels like forever now

I don't have enough time to play all the very good games on my Nintendo Switch console, and I realize there are a lot of also very good games that I can't play on my Nintendo Switch console, but since I don't even have time to play all of the very good games I already have access to on my Nintendo Switch console, it doesn't really bother me at all.

I could load my game fast but I intentionally gently caress with the process to load it slower, which makes people like the OP get really mad. It's funny as hell, they get fuckin livid about it lmbo

Like look at this guy he's mad as hell about video games and losing because he can't handle bush league psych out stuff

I wonder what will happen with the market for old games. I realize the aspect of million dollar sales of chameleon twist new in box are largely predicated on fraud and complete outliers but regular printings of games that people just want to play have not gone down much in the time that i've been looking.

Suikoden 2 is the only game I've paid over a hundred dollars for (~130) and it's around triple that now.

That's insane. Who the gently caress would pay that much for a game (besides you)?

I don't even pay full price for any game. Just like..... wait. It'll go on sale.

Ah ok. That's insane but it's a retro game and I can see it being a collectable. I don't pay full price for things on Steam and all that.

I sold a copy of Powerstone 2 for 100 bucks recently just cause it came up in a Discord server

Supposedly some of the games I have just laying around the room I'm sitting in right now could be sold to buy me a new computer, but eh, I have no idea where the hell to find a buyer for a loose copy of Ys Eternal collector's edition, a ratty copy of the metroid prime trilogy steelbook edition, insector X, or whatever else



This is supposedly worth 70 dollars?

Not playing video games is an objectively good choice regardless of your hardware, so despite this being 3O I'd have to begrudgingly note that he's got a point.

It's true, my bad experience was playing with 3O and listening to him cry about how he has money and no love in his life.

The better life choice was laughing.

Thank you 3O. By way of hideous example you inspire lol

If you're rich and playing video games are you really rich? And don't give me the streamer eSports poo poo. If they were actually rich enough they'd be able to stop playing videogames.

If you play videogames at all, you aren't rich. You're a loving poser.

Is that really the conversation you want to have, Three Olives? If it's a conversation about projection you want, would you like me to talk about some bad experiences I've had playing video games while poor? Maybe we could compare circumstances? How was your Apple IIe experience between sessions locked away in a cages in grade school, 3O? Which games did you try to escape with when you were homeless? Did daddy fix your homelessness, or did you find some other way to being the pretentious piece of poo poo you are today?
