Who chose the fucking name for this store? Why Super Potato?

>>9448371
I just think they're Nip.

>How do I keep my collection as well as they do?

Put the stuff in a box, protect the box from extreme temperature, humidity, and (if it's transparent) sunlight, make sure pests don't/can't get into it. Pretty simple I should think.

Most importantly, never play or like your games. Liking something causes it to degrade over time. Try to avoid experiencing any emotion at all if possible.

>>9448365
I don't really agree with this. Overall, the average game is probably in better condition and more likely to still be complete in box, but there are a lot of crappy condition games in Japan. Carts with writing, carts with stickers, damaged labels, sun discoloration, etc. Look at game lot listings and you'll absolutely see the crappy condition games.

>>9448365
japanese people are clean and not lazy fat slobs like americucks. They do however smoke until their consoles turn piss yellow and sometimes they write on their famicom carts.

>>9448365
>almost all games in Japan are in pristine condition
I have 30 or 40 Famicom games that look like they went through hell.
>>9448410
This is more likely from sun exposure sitting in a window or something

>>9448365
>almost all games in Japan are in pristine condition
How do you know this? Have you actually been to Japanese game stores? Many of them?

>>9448595
It's just another rent-free America bad thread.

>>9448365
japanese people live in small apartments in no pets and they have to keep everything clean and orderly out of necessity for spacewhile americans live in large houses with 4 kids and 2 dogs and just left their games and consoles and etc lying around wherever, thats why

>>9448607
>rent-free
Please, stop saying that. It's one of my trigger words.

>>9448763
>words
it's actually a phrase

>>9448365
Used too, but how many gaijins. E-celebs and resellers have dried their suppliers during the 2010s?

Hmmmmmmm?

>>9448410
>Ganguro SNES

Japan are just an incredibly clean race of people that try to keep their stuff in good condition. IIRC it's something about keeping everything clean/good condition for a clean soul.

>>9448365
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Don't tell people about super potatoe! It's my favourite store I thought no one else knew about

>>9448365
You're talking about the shops in the middle of the city's tourist traps. I don't know if there are any retro game shops in the middle of Times Square but if there are they'd be just as high quality and also as overpriced as the Japanese shops you're talking about.

Japs trade their games in after they played them through

Japanese don't sweat that much either, East Asians in general have fewer/smaller sweat glands than white people so they don't get caked on sweat and grime on stuff.

>>9448607
Yea I walk into any retro store here in America. I’m lucky to find CIB anything and everything over fucking priced.

>>9449083
Japanese turds also smell like roses

The only carts I own that have writing on them are Japanese ones.

>Japanese thing

>>9448994
Why do they lose source code

>>9449196
Companies don't give a shit. I'm speaking mostly just individual typical citizens.

>>9449196
Source code is dirty. Compiled code is clean. Does source code make you happy? Then you're a dirty boy.

>>9448365
>"Tony poop's smells good"
Elaborate for the less hip among us.

>>9448424
No, look at that build up. And the crud in the seams.
That's smoke damage.

>>9448371
I think it's referring to couch potatoes. Or maybe nothing. Japanese people are weird.

>>9448365
My consoles were always kept in the basement, away from sunlight. I was a very clean kid and I hated getting food residue on my stuff, so I was always sure to have clean hands when I used a computer or played one of my consoles. I kept my games in shoeboxes, although I still had most of the original boxes and manuals. Honestly wasn't hard and my stuff still looks pretty damn good.

I do not recommend taking a trip to Japan unless you're a total consumer whore. It'll get old quickly. Fantastic public transport though and it's nice exploring a metropolis that isn't a complete fucking swarthy junkie-ridden disaster for once.

>>9449247
A photo of a DKR cart that was originally labeled "Tony's," presumably the name of the kid who owned the game. Some other kid thought it would be funny to write "poop" on it, making the label "Tony's poop." Somebody else, presumably Tony himself, further added to the graffiti in order to make it less negative, the result being "Tony's poop smells good."

While labelled carts are annoying, back in the day it was common for kids to take games all over the place, so labelling them was a way to prevent mixups, help a forgotten cart make its way back to the owner, or stop some dipshit from claiming your cart as his own.

>>9449260
What if I had a holograph device that'd make me look like a Japanese person? Would it be worth it to trip to Japan then?

>>9448365
I don't think that it's fair to compare the contents of a side room in Jim's Trading Post in Dirt Pit, Ohio with a dedicated video game store in a busy city

>>9449270
Thank you. For some reason my mind went to a really stupid photoshop of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

>>9449273
Only if it makes you magically understand and speak Japanese well enough to fuck women without paying for it.

>>9448763
I find that trigger phrases make my feminine penis moist, rent free. It makes me wanna bing bing wahoo with all the nintoddlers after playing Sega system with my wife's boyfriend. Funko pops on my pvm, wish I had some friends to get down on some gcn, smash bros with no dvds on my TV stand. Vhs is king in my weaboo den, p.s. I take pee's in a Pepsi can left next to Gundam wing toys with a semen stench.

You're actually a tranny aren't you, like this isn't even a shitpost.

>>9449286

>>9449313
I'll be your tranny, come get some of this sonichu boipussy. I'll even call you Chris as you nut inside me

>>9449360
huh

>>9449364

>>9448410
It's not because of smoke, that's just how some plastics are. This can be easily fixed with some kind of lotion and sunlight.
