/vr/ - Retro Games

>>5701530
>game rated 17 and up
Sure about that being a kid's toy?

>>5701530
The character wasn't making a point as much as he was musing about his own failures.

>>5701756
Like Mortal Kombat
You know, very mature subjects for mature minds totally not intended for children at all. This may or may not be sarcasm

Collecting anything is a bad thing, it doesnt matter if its kids toy or mature magazines or whatever

Stop hoarding stuff you dont need and buy only what you will actually use and enjoy

>>5701781

>>5701793
Whats the matter little anon, i bruised your fragile ego? Don't clutch your rare copies of Little Samson and Super Monkey Daiboken too hard you'll damage their boxes and ruin the value!

>>5701797
I don't collect video games, retard. I collect rare writings and military stuff. My dad collected coins and stamps, some very rare. There's alot of things that are worth collecting so they don't get lost and it's basically like achiving history. There's literally nothing wrong with it.

You're either a Zoomer or a complete degenerate.

>>5701804
He's undoubtedly a hypocrite too. I bet you he collects something especially embarrassing, like funco pops.

>>5701804
>coin/stamp collecting
>"archiving history"
lol

>>5701912
Not an argument.

>>5701756
It's still a toy anon.

The thing though is that adults with tpys is fine.

>>5701912
It is

>>5701912
You may not believe it, zoomer retard, but there are people with other values than staring on a smartphone all day like you do.

>>5701781
This is about the right answer.

>>5701781
>>5701930
samefagging because you got BTFO

you all should go to >>>/toy/ I'm sure your sensible takes on collecting would be a big hit there.

>>5701921
It's still literally not anon.

Is an interactive DVD a toy? Is an electronics simulator a toy? Is acting out a fictional character in a play a toy? There is no conceivable defensible way you can call them toys and the only reason you think that is because they were originally oriented strongly towards the children's market.

>>5701929
i believe you

for example, some peeps like to fill their living spaces with shitty novelty items while pretending to be museum curators tending to priceless artifacts that will unravel the history of mankind

>>5701962
better than living in shit like this

>>5702031
Its like the apartment Christian Bale lived in in Equilibrium.

>>5701781

>The only alternative from one end of extreme is the other extreme
Let me guess - you're American, right?

>>5701804
>There's alot of things that are given value by collectors who look after them, under the delusion of archiving history
Unless you are an actual museum curator expanding a museum collection, you are just a guy with a hobby. And actively making lives of real museum curators harder, since it's your private collection, instead of a museum piece that could be studied or displayed for any sort of use and value.

>>5702113
in what way am i making a museum curators job harder by saving old hardware from goodwills last-stop-before-the-dump dig site? its either it goes in my collection, and maybe eventually theirs, or it goes in the dump. collectors have saved more than museums alone could. where do you think they get their donations?

>>5702121
>in what way am i making a museum curators job harder by saving old hardware from goodwills last-stop-before-the-dump dig site
... by not donating to the museum and/or by spiking up prices for museum, since there are other people than them wanting to have the thing that's in limited supply.
And you had the audacity to call another person a zoomer, when you don't understand such fundamendal principles?

>>5702113
>n-no by hoarding these coins my great-grandfather stole during the war till i find someone who wants to pay an hilariously out of touch inflated price for them i'm actually SAVING HISTORY! I'm a HERO!

>>5702172
Those events aren't mutually exclusive, anon.

>>5702152
>>5702172
you are so retarded it's funny.

>Your hoarding hobby is for autistic manchildren
I know, and?

>>5702185
feigning knowledge the other party lacks sure is a great way to win arguments, isn't it?

>>5702182
They are. If you really cared about 'archiving history' you wouldn't hoard a personal collection only to sell it for profit for the first retard guillible enough to pay the price you were asking. Keeping it as a "family heirloom" does jack shit to preserving its historic value as well since only you and your retarded family would know about it.

>>5702220
This reminds me the story about the guy who was most likely able to find a mound containing remains of Buddha himself (or at least 1/8 of his ashes)...
... only to store it as family heirloom for 4 generations and over the time most of important bits and pieces got mixed and further disorted.
But what to expect from an Anglo that literally was named Peppe.

I remember when /vr/ liked video games. I hate what this board has become.

>>5701530
>ITT: zoomer manchildren and poorfags try to justify their digital subscription-bill collections and paying money for glorified first-party RaspberryPi emulation consoles
>"My library of books/games/movies/music is in the buttcloud! I don't horde! I pay someone else $4.99/$9.99/$14.99/$5.99 a month for the priviledge of accessing their hoarded collection!"

>>5701929
boomer go home

>>5701756
>17 year olds are not children

>>5701530
Imagine having so little self confidence that you choose not to own what you love because of what others might think. I would get it if you loved violent pornography or a cartoon for small children, but video games are about as harmless as it gets.

>>5702387
We are home. How about you get out of our house?

>>5701530
Yes. If you're collecting just for the sake of having a lot of games, it's absolutely a bad thing.

I don't think there's anything wrong with having a hobby and buying games that you're interested. But these dudes with massive collections probably own hundreds or thousands of games that they will never finish or even play.

>>5702383
>not hoarding = not owning anything

Imagine being so brain damaged to actually believe in this. Its perfectly normal to buy stuff you ACTUALLY WANT AND USE. Its a mental disease to buy stuff you will never even take out of a box just to say you own it.

>>5702370
It's just fascists desu

>>5701530
ITT retards who don’t know the context for the quote and project their own insecurities onto it

This thread looks like it came straight out of /v/. /vr/ wasn't good, but did it really get this fucking bad?

>>5701530
It's really only a problem for people who are old enough to consider themselves "old" but young enough to be insecure about being seen as immature. It doesn't help that some people approaching middle age are literal man children who should rightfully be worried that they may never grow up.

>>5702445
Yes. The war against playing on original hardware is nearly a daily occurrence these days.

>>5702445
School's out. Shitposting up. Come back in September.

Video games are art, and are of greater significance to human development than old stamps, coins, and “writings” that had transient functional purpose.

Anyone who collects coins, stamps, and other old trinkets of yesteryear with limited/no artistic value outside their intended and limited functional purpose is very likely autistic, especially if not a museum curator.

>>5702468
No art is involved in stamps and coins huh? Lol wow fucking zoomers should be in summer school right now.

>>5702495
Channel your autism into something creative or productive, don’t collect old currency that isn’t used any more or old mail.

>>5701804
It's not worth the space it takes up.
Space is money.
I used to collect a lot of stupid crap, comics, cigarette cards, stamps and old postcards, video games. I just don't care anymore, it trapped me.
I collected when i was poor, because it felt like an investment, or some progress in my life. It's bullshit.

Took clearing out my dead uncles house for "you can't take it with you" to fully set in.
There's nothing wrong with enjoying what you like, just don't let it eat you up like it did me.

>>5702031
Having a good amount of space would be nice, but these places always feel like an obscene waste of space.
Is that the point? Some status thing? "Look how many square feet my expensive apartment is?"

>>5702463
>October
Ftfy. There is always the residue effect lasting for 2-3 weeks after, just like we are experiencing the Christmas break effect each year lasting usually till 5th of January

>>5702651
And what do you do that's so creative that you feel entitled to shit on stamp and coin art? Shitting up a Chinese mahjong imageboard on your summer break doesn't count. Everyone knows you zoomers aren't worth shit and won't have shit. Just a bunch of lazy entitled cunts who never did a thing in their lives.

>>5702662
>I collected when i was poor, because it felt like an investment, or some progress in my life.
I would collect things because I thought I'd never be able to obtain it again in the future. But with games, emulation and piracy abolished that fear.

>>5702457
>It doesn't help that some people approaching middle age are literal man children who should rightfully be worried that they may never grow up.
The thing is these are exactly the same people who make anonymous posts on 4chan calling videogames toys and trying to shame others for playing or collecting "children's games". They are lacking a certain analytic ability as well as adult mentality and I feel sorry for them.

>>5702706
Old coins, stamps, postcards, etc. are literally the detritus of society. Collecting them makes you one step removed from a garbage man, except the garbage man knows these aren’t things to be treasured—they’re things to be disposed of. Just like old boomers.

>>5701772
Mortal Kombat 2 was my favorite game when I was ten years old. Because it had a cool dark kung-fu aesthetics and also people chopping other peoples' heads off.

>>5702662
>I collected when i was poor

Hello Jeff Bezos, or is it Bill Gates? Or Elon Musk, whoever the fuck.

>>5701530
you guys don't wanna visit /toy/
trust me

>>5702430
So..collecting any tyoe of art, or the signed/rare version of a book you enjoy, or the people that own vast amounts of land that's worth more than you'll ever make..all mentally-ill, hunh?

>>5702750
If all old boomers were removed then who would carry all your sorryasses? You worthless fucks can't even change a lightbulb hahaha no shit, ask any zoomer to try to do anything skilled and they run away and hide like a woman. Not like zoomers have homes to put collections in anyway so you'll never have to worry about it.

I collected marbles when I was a kid and records as a teenager, it's really just how my personality is.

>>5702762
Poor people hoard cheap shit because they can't afford nice things. Quantity over quality.
Years ago, retro games were for poorfags who dug through garage sales and clearance bins.

>>5702750
you're trying too hard

>>5702779
All shitposting aside, do zoomers contribute ANYTHING to society besides endless entitlement, whining about things older gens like, and the societal-blight known as "social media" and "e-celbs"?

>>5702790
Nope. They're just pure disappointment but honestly they can't be blamed 100% because we know it's their parents fault. Lazy parents=lazy worthless entitled shit kids and it shows everywhere right now. Don't worry anon, I will do my part to not raise shitheads. My kids will be respectable members of society who contribute just like their ancestors.

>>5702779
I grew up on a farm. My job was essentially to babysit my elderly uncle who was too gimped to do a lot of things. He never taught me anything, he would tell me to do something, watch over my shoulder and get so fucking angry because I took 3 seconds to figure out what to do, and then he'd push me aside and do it himself. And I wouldn't dare ask a question because he'd call me stupid for not knowing, and then still not tell me!
I learned the most when he was busy with something else, and I was able to figure things out by myself.

The truth is boomers don't want to teach.

>>5702803
Ty for doing your part.
Step 1: Remove that electronic narcicism-box from their possession until they are mature-enough to use it responsibly. Unfettered Internet-access and not being forced to go outside and interact IRL... Pic-related.

>>5702815
Your resentment over being stuck with Uncle Gimpy doesn't mean every older person in the universe is an asshole..he just wasn't a good teacher/role- model.

>>5702825
It's not just him though, our neighbor barks at his son the same way, sometimes worse. And he's in good health, so being gimped isn't an excuse. I've read plenty of similar stories online as well.

The people who complain about "kids these days" somehow expect kids to act like adults but don't want to do anything about it.

>>5702389
>and up

So what you're saying is that the demographic is adults and a single year of children. Thank you for reinforcing my point that it's an adult toy.

>>5702837
are you a 15 year old girl? you sure whine like one

>>5702815
Hmm funny, I have 2 uncles with farms and spent plenty time growing up there and helping. They were never assholes and always welcomed GOOD help. Yours is just an isolated incident, most older people love to teach if the person really wants to learn. Are you sure you weren't just being a typical zoomer knowitall 3 second twat to him? What are you even watching over him for if he's doing all the work anyways? My dad and uncles would have put your whiny ass In the corner too.

>>5701931
Lol
Sorry but collecting is a mental illness.

>>5702868
>I have 2 uncles with farms
So you didn't live on a farm then? You're just extra help, so of course they're going to be nice to you so you'll come back.

>Are you sure you weren't just being a typical zoomer knowitall 3 second twat to him?
No, I'm quiet and keep to myself.

>What are you even watching over him for if he's doing all the work anyways?
I had my chores to do, and I had to be available for little shit that he couldn't do, like moving something heavy or changing lightbulbs.

>>5702818
Only tablets my kids have are the ones they use at school. All work and chores are always done before TV time. They know how to fish, respect guns and will know how to use most tools by the time they graduate not to mention drive stick(91' jeep wrangler at lake cabin) They say thank you and please everywhere they go, I will not raise degenerates and in the end I will know I did the best I could do.

>>5702895
No I didn't live there thank God. Still spent weekends there out of my summers helping. My family has a tree farm for 25 years though so that work was always constant. The point is... you might have had an attitude problem. My uncles will tell anyone to fuck off if they're being a problem.

>>5702815
>Being a pussy that can't stand up for himself
>T-they just don't want to teach us
When my grandfather was having his standard "Get away from this, let me show you how to do this shit" moments, I always just pushed him away and told him to fuck off, or I will never learn how to do it myself. And he respected that and explained shit instead of being dismissive.
All you do is whining on internet anonymous imageboard that you were too much of a limp dick to fucking fight back and get something taught into your sorry ass. Which means you deserve that, since you couldn't muster anything even resembling a backbone

My dad was born in 1932, the generation before boomers, he was 53 before he had me. I have never known a kinder man. He thought me plenty, however by the time I reached my late teens/20s it was often more me explaining shit to him.

>>5703143
>other guy accuses me of having an attitude problem
>you're calling me a pussy for avoiding confrontation
Imagine being 7 and the old man from Garfield's halloween is cussing you out. I did fight back when I was older, but all that did was make him more angry and mean.

>>5701756
Yes? Every 12 year old played MK, San Andreas, CoD, etc when they were new, they are designed for kids

>>5701804
big yikes, such oof

>>5702785
This. 'Collecting' was about being able to buy more than one videogame every few months, before retards made it fashionable and ludicrously expensive

>>5702723
I'm pretty sure that if I was a 40 year old virgin manchild who couldn't afford the toys I needed to justify my existence to strangers on the internet I'd shitpost as well. Sour grapes and all that.

>>5703627
Why

>>5705915
Because 90% of /vr/ are virgin manchildren of various ages doing exactly that. It's clearly the norm for that kind of person, regardless of age even.

>>5706113
Or some of just like retro games. Why do faggots from /v/ have to come here and overcomplicate everything with sweeping generalizations and meaningless presumptions? Can’t we just talk about old games instead of arguing about what kind of person plays games? Isn’t this board about retro game discussion? I swear, I don’t see other boards get into tribalistic horseshit like this.

>>5706135
>or some of us are underage projecting summerfag /v/tards
I know. And you make it so obvious when you get assmad and defensive because someone points it out. This thread is about collecting old games you stupid zoomer and that's literally what we're talking about. Fuck off back to your circle jerk containment board if you can't handle that.

>>5701530
Collecting? Yeah. Playing? Nope. Old Dads still made old model train sets back in the day. I am sure now old dads will be playing old or new vidya.

>>5706313
I think you're the mad one, he just generously pointed out a basic flaw in your logic. He didn't have to. Could've ignored you. I would've.

>>5701781
Collecting <> hoarding
Also, only collecting unique rare hand-made things, or the ones which are very few makes sense. Making a 'collecting' of mass produced cookie cutter items is silly and laughable - any retard with money can 'collect' a disk/comic/figure of Resident Evil Mortal Kombat ZeldaMario TMN 123 every year or so.

Collecting children's toys is weird, luckily I collect games made for adults

>>5701781
Based and true even if we don't want to hear it.

>>5701530
That shitty show has nothing to do with videogames and isnt retro. Go fuck yourself and @janitors remove this stupid shit.

>>5702440

lol. no. You're just a mad samefag.

>>5701962
She's not pretending to be a museum curator, she's a person who enjoys relics from the past and it gives a sort of nostalgic or historical appreciation and enjoyment, so she collects those things in her house where she can readily appreciate them and share them with interested friends at her leisure. The real question is why does that bother you so much?

>>5706313
>zoom this zoom that
Anyone can make animal noises for a lack of an argument, but it’s frowned upon.
>back to your containment board
That applies to your ass in regards to /v/ tier shitposting. YOU fucking go back to your containment board or stay and actually discuss a videogame. What do you get out of being an early 20something larper who likes to roleplay as a literal boomer that hates videogames? /v/ is perfect for you. Go there and stay there.

>>5706854
Because of self loathing subhumans like him /v/ is too shitty even for him to want to post on, so he's forced to export his posting to less shitty boards until they become just as shitty to the point where he has nowhere left to go and eventually offs himself. A life well lived, this is the type who wants to see the world burn, on old /vr/ the mods would have dealt with it, now the best course of action is just to ignore them. (You)'s are all they have left.

>>5702815
I grew up on a farm too, I don't know what kind of "farm" you grew up on where most of your time wasn't spent doing field work and chores.

Also my grandfather lost the ability to walk when I was a teenager but he was still a man forged from steel who we all believed could go through fire if needed be. I never minded even for a second helping him get around or cooking for him when nobody else was home. It's sad that your sorry zoomer ass couldn't learn from the wisdom and experiences of the old man. I only hope that when you're so old and your dick falls off that somebody just as miserable, and full of hatred, as you treats you with the same level of know-it-all arrogance and contempt that you clearly had for people much more valuable to the world than yourself.

I used to be a zoomer, but I met someone online and moved to the side of a mountain in the Philippines. Everyday I walk up,that mountain about 3 times a day to fetch water for us. I bathe with a bucket of ice cold water, and built my own house. The meat I eat I kill with my own hands, and I drink alcohol that I ferment myself. I have regressed to a pre-boomer stage.

Nothing wrong with collecting, as long as it's in reason. The whole my basement is a game collection thing though is just fucking pathetic. Don't collect for the sake of having more games

>>5701804
>I collect rare writings and military stuff.
I can smell the inceldom from here

>>5707302

How much of the whining about collecting here is from other collectors wanting stuff for themselves, or for prices to go down?

t. /biz/raeli familiar with FUD behavior

A good half of them are narcissists though, shitting on things they cannot have. Look up narcisistic de-valueing. It explains a lot of /vr/'s odd behavior.

>>5706854
>>5706860
I feel like you guys are treating him harshly because you misinterpreted what he was saying. Yes he did say 90%+ people around here are manchildren, it's hardly that far off.

>>5707543
While it can't be ruled out, the quality of these shitposters with their "lol yes I am shitting up the board and trying to stir shit everywhere XD" posting suggests they're not that sophisticated.

>>5707810
He's been an antagonistic fuck being purposely obtuse to fuel his epic trolling the whole thread. Him calling people manchildren is the least of the problems.

why /v/ hate people enjoying videogames so much?

>>5707845
Adults who refuse to grow up are a disgrace

>>5703213
>Being a pussy since early childhood
You got exactly what you deserve, cunt.

>>5707820
FUD is rarely sophisticated.

>>5707887

It's kind of odd to act like a tough guy on a board about old children's interactive toys, cussing someone out on ta board about kids games is probably the least tough thing imaginable

>>5706854
>zoom zoom
>no u
>all that projecting

Zoom away little zoomer

>>5707810
He's a two bit troll who shits up the board and derails conversation on purpose. Why should anyone treat him with any kind of politeness?

>>5707827
Sounds like you're triggered by the term manchild. Hits too close to home?

I'm rich enough that space isn't an issue at all. If space is a issue for you, you may want to rethink your 'when i WAS poor' statement.

>>5702113
In the end, all museums are 'private collections'.

Have you ever been to the bowels of a museum? Where they actually store shit not on display? No? Because you aren't allowed down there, "public".

Private.

it hurts to set you free

lord forgive em

this place got just a little worse when the dumbass boomer/zoomer meme began. gonna have to wait a few years for it to run its course now

>>5702651
>don’t collect old currency that isn’t used any more
desu I think collecting old coins from ancient civilizations from all corners of the Earth is dope as fuck. I don't personally do it, but I'm glad that some people do.

>>5702750
Hollywood glorifies this junk hoarding garbageman, who also punches Nazis. Wow so "woke".

>>5702031
Zoomers want to live in THIS

>>5712576
I know some people who have lived in places like this (not exactly bunks like that but think like 5+ roomates) and I never understood how they just seemed to have no need for privacy at all. Like they're always out doing something or with other people, they live in a state of perma socialization. Makes my fucking skin crawl.

Past a certain age a nigga gotta run

>>5701781
Indeed. Society needs to heavily re-examine the notion of collecting as being a healthy pursuit.

>>5712576
Don't tell me there are people in mutterica willing to live like this on a daily basis. Un-fucking-beliveable.

That's why collecting video games is great. You can take them all with you on a 8tb external hard drive.

>>5702790
>>5702803
You realize that age group is still in grade school? The majority of zoomers are still underage for fuck's sake. They haven’t had a chance at doing anything yet. But I’m sure they feel the same exact way about it too. Knowing that they have to be lumped in with Gen X, being the most coddled and pathetic generation of all time. While you fucks were off at Pearl Jam and Dinosaur Jr concerts, you chose to ignore the economic tremors going on that were signs of the impending crash of the housing market. What kind of an imbecile thinks things will get better forever? Mind you, you are the same generation that has produced the likes of Lena Dunham, Zoe Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, and countless others who have destroyed a once profitable industry, while turning society into a censorship shithole. Your generation has blamed Boomers for everything bad that has led up to you, while pointing the finger at future generations for the bad days we have now. Doing all of this while not coming to terms with the damage you have done, because it's so much easier to blame others for your failures.
It's also easier to relish in the past with video games from your childhood well into your 30's, longing for that time in your life because you've failed miserably at your adult life thus far.
I really hope you manchildren realize how culturally irrelevant you all are. You don't matter anymore, it's fucking over. Those born in the late 90's and 2000's having to grow up in a recession, saturated job market, relentless government spending, and a college degree bubble will all realize who deserves a nice wake up smack towards your middle aged asses, because not even your Boomer parents tolerate you.
Gen X faggots are worthless and they will die in their heap of plastic shells.

>>5716545
>because not even your Boomer parents tolerate you.
that's what libraries and laptops are for.

Collecting is a form of mental illness. It shows a simplicity of the brain, that all they can rely on is caveman shit like hoarding.

I'm 31 years old, I was lucky enough to have a father who taught me how to do things, but this guy is right, a lot of my dad's generation were super abrasive and never taught their kids anything, especially work ethic. I can't really blame them for being lazy fags when their parents didn't teach them how to work.

>>5718428
I'm 29.

My dad's generation grew up with men who were as cold as stones and read about as well as you'd expect a rock to. They cut their children out and expected the world from them, only to watch them spiral out of control in the 80s and 90s with drugs and alcohol, thankfully just long enough to sire their own children and produce my generation of broken 90s fuckwits.

The cycle is long, long, long.

>>5716582
It depends.

If you are a well-rounded person with a reasonable collection of interests then it's not unbecoming to have a collection of something that makes you happy or stimulates you. A well-curated collection is something to be impressed by.

No one is impressed by anyone's run of the mill video game collection. The exception is that aussie cunt who is more of a physical video game archivist then anything. Get a fucking life.

>>5720775
And yet we consistently have "post your collection" threads with poor insecure zoomers looking to validate their existence with the handful of hames they overpaid for on ebay

Absolutely correct

what counts as growing up? becoming a beta provider and making your life revolving around reproducing? I am genuinely curious about your opinion, thanks!

Since when is Super Monkey Daiboken rare?

>Have you ever been to the bowels of a museum? Where they actually store shit not on display?
It's where they store all the junk not fit for display to the public and only of interest to fellow scholars.
For every Sue, there are a hundred crushed, fragmentary and badly preserved fossils. For every Joyeuse, there are dozens of rusty and bent Oakeshott Type XIs stuffed in a drawer.

you know what's sad? >>5702664 mentioned status and yeah, it's some sort of status bullshit.

fun fact: that looks still more cluttered and soulful than the empty space Kanye West and Kim Kad live in. their kitchen doesn't even have sink bowls. instead the fucking water runs over an even stone plate with a small hole which is the drain. the kids were sitting on the bed with Kanye playing with some toys but I can't for the hell of me remember or even see where he would possibly store them. it was so out of place.

but he has such a good point. normies are fucking insane.

I swear, many years ago I had a roommate once and that guy was such a gregarious normalfag fucktard that he literally had people over at our place EVERY SINGLE DAY. they even stayed all night as well until I told him I just need my sleep and it's against the law to be noisy past 10 pm.

what are you even doing on /vr/?

Everyone in this thread except for me is a gigantic turbo faggot.

>>5720775
Again, a well-rounded collection of items that you personally treasure aren't there to "impress anyone" you absolutely dead-brain retard.

I understand that your autistic need for conflict but you're out of your element.

Nigga you got a cage? Because past a certain age.

Ayo nigga bitch

>>5702172
What makes you think the people who autistically collect shit all plan on selling it? There's also plenty of things that have value to that collector but have no value to a museum.

No, it's not an age issue, but rather financial stability. If you're rich enough to keep a family going, who gives a fuck. I know plenty of dudes who play games with their kids.

>Collecting anything is a bad thing
Why? Minimalist and anti-materialists have never answered this question. Also define "collecting."
>>5702370
The boomer/zoomer meme killed it.

No, some toys are still fun for people.
>>5701781
Life is too short and meaningless to care about living practically, people will buy statues of anime characters because they give some meaning to their shallow lives, and that's fine.

Past a cage

>>5732884
It feeds a drive without a goal. And it doesn't produce anything. Collecting a game to play it, you get to unwind and enjoy the entertainment for a bit, collecting a game to stick it on a wall just puts one more obscure object in the wall to be forgotten. You can do it if you want, but it's purely ego stroking and doesn't produce.
Lastly, collectors remove options to others for having similar experiences. If you like something, sharing it with others is a great experience; collectors can and do share with others though, so it isn't all black and white, it's a gradient and there's a point where it isn't productive or rewarding.
To each their own of course.

I genuinely feel sorry for you guys.

>Stop hoarding stuff you dont need and buy only what you will actually use and enjoy

So, is hoarding my wealth bad? Fuck off, commie.

>>5734953
It is. You should give those five bucks to someone who needs it.
