That should trigger anyone

Behold! I own physical games! Not flashcarts! I don't emulate - I use original hardware which cost me real money!

implying you play lmao
or would ever let those collector items get used

This seems like it would REQUIRE a college student to know how to use tools or work with their hands, and this is quite rare to the point that it is non-existent at the type of college where they would want a meme machine like that.

Nice collection. I got 6 of those games.

classic /vr/ comment

>>5280052
Thanks. That's actually a stupid old photo. This is more current, minus the cardboard. I since got Rocket: Robot on Wheels too.

>>5280057
I like the colored cartridges the best, The World is Not Enough is blue, at least on my copy. Now, Goeman Mystical Ninja, there's a game I wish I had back, sold it back in the day. I never got anywhere in it, but I remember it being very Ocarina of Time-like in certain play mechanics, and who knew it still can't be emulated properly.

The N64 is underrated by PlayStation babbys.

>>5280069
The PlayStation babbys are just salty nobody wanted to play their system at parties.

Nes and snes mini are great
Gba is retro
The DS had a library surpassing the snes' own

Dave Perry Platformers are amazing
Sega Saturn is shit

"arcade"

This word can only be stretched so far.
>no coin door or mech
>no arcade controls
>no arcade hardware
>LCD but playing games not designed for it

I was almost with him until the end. To go that far and not install actual joystick and buttons seems pointless.
>donated the monitor
If you're going to this much trouble go find a CRT. Any CRT. Unless you're planning on playing modern fighting games then a low-lag LCD is acceptable.

Still waiting on someone to do this kind of project right. Maybe I'll have to do it myself.

It has nothing to do with ess oh why. Most 18-24 year olds don't know squat about power tools, straight lines, creating a plan or how to do basic math. Most kids enrolled in a college don't have the income to piss away, and building something like this from scratch will cost hundreds of dollars, and hours of time or it will look like dogshit. There are power tools involved, and though I don't find them too terrifying, others who have never used a circular saw or a radial arm saw can and should be terrified. It isn't about the color of their hair or some other superficial tell that they shouldn't be anywhere near power tools. It is about available time, income and space. I have friends in their 40s who I wouldn't trust with a drill, let alone a circular saw. I know this because I was the guy who they called with questions, and when the questions start with "How long of a screw do I need" you know you are in for a long talk. To do something like this right you need clamps, straight edges, tape measures (Must know how to read a tape measure too) saw horses and a few other tools. Screws aren't cheap, and you can go through them fast. One wrong cut can mean that you need a whole new sheet of plywood.

I don't trust most adults with power tools. The people that I could think would construct something like this well have little interest in playing video games. There is an odd intersection of skills that allows something like this to happen and look well, and it is rare.

>cutting between the sawhorses
I'm already mad.

>>5279945
I like hobo setups that doesn't "trigger(dumb /v/ meme tbqh)" me it amuses me.

>>5280749
You fit pipes, your work is manual labour that any simpleton could do.
Shut up and go away faggot boy.

>>5279945
This doesn't trigger me, but what was the point of that?

>>5281454
Well
1. Pipefitting has always been a skilled trade.
2. You're a troll 0/10

>Not owning collectors edition OoT box and 1.0 cart

Just copped this at a flea market, who's up for some retro vidya?!

Oldie but a goodie.

Best post in the thread.

>, your work is manual labour that any simpleton could do.
Do you have a license for that post?

>>5282157
i mean it is kind of entitled to write your signature on a system. id probably erase it too if i didnt care about who made it

>>5282015
>not knowing there are gray 1.0 carts

It was a shiptost millennial rant. Don't pat yourself on the back too hard.

I want to believe he was trolling but his blog doesnt seem like it's got a dedicated enough Nintendo following

>boys and girls enrolled in wood shop, construction, electricity, auto repair, and welding classes

You're a fucking idiot, man. A dude who is so full of himself because he thinks his abilities are something special. Spoiler: they're not.

>The people that I could think would construct something like this well have little interest in playing video games.
Good lord shut the fuck up. what is your point anyway? You have contributed absolutely nothing to this thread other than to shitpost about shallow generational stereotypes.

>>5280354
what game is that?

>>5283750
Mamoru-kun wa Norowarete Shimatta

I'm a 25 year old zoomer and this video triggered me super hard. what the fuck is the point even? just hook an hdmi to a TV from a laptop if you're going to use a fucking controller, the whole point of cabinets are the comfinessbof standing and using a joystick and big buttons

>>5283757
Looks sick as hell actually, I'm gonna download a rom. Thank you.

oh, you dun goofed up, mister.

>>5281592
>that skewed button-placement on the right
why

>>5282837
He's right though, I most definitely do not own the 1.0 version. I was too poor a teen to get the collector's edition at the time, and now I can't bring myself to buy a game I already own.

>>5280749

>>5280057
No Ogre Battle? Fail.

>>5284417
Shit sucks man. My older brother had the gold 1.0 that I inherited from but when my family moved I ended up losing it somehow and now I'm stuck with the gray cart because it was the only one I came across one day and I was just desperate to have any version of it again.

>>5283715
Don't hate the player, hate the game

>>5279954
take your Sega System and get out of here.

Doom is dumb mindless trash that brought about the downfall of PC gaming as we know it.

>>5284595
I actually did have Ogre Battle.... for about a week. I fucking hated it and traded it for DK64. Zero regrets.

>>5282157
Hilarious

>>5281601
why would this trigger me?
that's how i play the whole game

PS2, GCN, and original Xbox are retro at this point. Get over it. Game design in that era has much more in common with that of previous generations that it does with the gens that followed.

Also there are still plenty of good games being made for current-gen platforms and damn near everything Sega ever did was garbage.

>>5285080
You're wrong in your first sentence, yet absolutely everything about your second one is correct. How strange..

>>5283748

Honestly hard agree other than Sega being garbage, if only because their disc systems have great games.

>>5279945
I thought the cab in the OP pic was the one in the video and didn't think it was too bad. But by god what the fuck? That isn't even a cabinet. That's just a computer in a box with a screen in it.

What is the correct way to read a tape-measure, teacher?

>>5287896
you fold the first two inches over before placing the tape next to your shaft

Hm...

I wonder how the fuck people even found this post in the first place. The blog is practically dead with barely any posts before this one.

Last time I saw this image the guy had abandoned the blog but it appears he suddenly came back in 2017 as if nothing had happened. And everything else seems to be useful advice so I think he is legit. But it's weird because this image has certainly been shared a whole bunch and yet there's barely any comments on the post. I wonder if he disabled comments.

Speaking of comments though, here's one that'll really trigger /vr/:
>Congratulations on one of the best tutorials I've ever seen regarding Game & Watch desassembly and maintenance. And you know what? I simply don't give a shit if that crappy signature was from this Miyamoto or whoever (BTW, who's this Miyamoto?): when I buy a Game & Watch, the first thing I see is if it is in perfect condition, with no scratches (mainly in the upper plate!) or other severe marks. A G&W signed by Miyamoto, the English Queen or Obama has, for me, muche less value than a clean one!

>>5279972
I first heard this term only like a week ago and it made me giggle. Does anyone actually get triggered by stupid shit like this?

>>5288052
Hilariously, yes

>>5288052
It's not the term itself so much as the fact that it's a painfully forced meme that one guy is spamming all around /vr/ hoping it catches on, which is why you hadn't heard it until just a week ago, because it didn't exist before then. He's actually been banned multiple times and he just keeps going. So yes it's understandable that people are triggered because any time they see that post they know it's that fucking ban evading Mexican sitting in his chair cracking up as he posts it.

>>5288729
Fact: the Spanish guy that started saying that around six months ago largely stopped posting and this actually catched on and is said by several different regulars, even some into JRPGs.

>>5288736
>catched

>>5291279
Yeah it's caught on OOPS
