/vr/ - Retro Games

>Use cheats to get high

I'm 25 and since I was a little kid i've always preferred retro games, i've pretty much been collecting since I was in like elementary school. Growing up my parents didn't have alot of money so I only had an NES, but I had a shitload of games for it.

Now all I see is retro gaming everything everywhere. And its all people who didn't really grow up with it. Its completely burned me out. My roommate talks about how N64 is the greatest system ever to exist, and how he's a collector, so he goes and buys jacked up priced n64 games for $40-60 that I remember paying alot less for in middle school and early high school. All day every day he watches these lame youtube reviewers (I'm a fan of the angry nerd myself, but the rest of them kinda suck) who exploit this hobby. All of the prices of everything are completely jacked up now.

Theres so much about retro games on youtube now that its insane. Now I'm starting to see everyone loves retro gaming.

I'm not bitching about it, its cool that this is mainstream now, but at the same time i'm just fucking burned out by it. Time to move onto a different nerdy hobby, i'll focus on magic and for the time being get a raspberry pi instead of paying ridiculous prices for shit. I mean, its cool that its come to be a mainstream thing, but does anyone else feel like these people are just bandwagoners with nothing better to do?

I'm done having retro gaming be my main nerd hobby for a bit, i'll always love it, but a combination of these people and skyrocketing prices always ruined it for me. I always wanted to get into turbografx, amiga, and especially neo geo. I'm just gonna get a raspberry pi with my tax return so I can play this stuff and listen to my roommate talk condescendingly about how great N64 and the NES classic is.
