She's not exactly wrong.
Do you think most people who download entire game libraries from their local rom site to load in whatever popular emulator actually play more than a few games from it before abandoning the set?
Do you feel any attachment towards your pirated copy of whatever AAA title pooped out last year?

If you want to play a game on a real genesis on a crt nowadays, you have to REALLY want to.

You don't need post-purchase rationalization to motivate you to play through great games that you genuinely enjoy. If sunk cost is on your mind when you're playing through something, that's a good sign that you should be playing something else instead.
>Do you think most people who download entire game libraries from their local rom site to load in whatever popular emulator actually play more than a few games from it before abandoning the set?
I don't know why someone would "abandon" a complete nointro/redump romset, but to answer the first part, I'd say that sheer numbers wise, most games for any given console are going to be bad, and that most people probably aren't going to play through an entire library. You don't download a complete set to play through the entire library, however, you download it because it's a monolithic download of verified good dumps for any game on a system you would ever want to play that will always be available.
>Do you feel any attachment towards your pirated copy of whatever AAA title pooped out last year?
Attachment is an odd phrase to use. If a game is great, I appreciate it in the same way that I would a great TV show, regardless of whether or not I've spent money on it.

This was well made. I feel like this is something that you could show someone that doesn't know anything about retro gaming and it would help them understand some of the hobby and the appeal. Whether or not people here would care about that is another matter. But I think that's the main goal of video and probably the rest of the series.

I thought it was interesting but I also think it's funny how these MLiG guys' entire livelihood rely on these people making new stuff for them to show off, as they have no real technical ability of their own.
I'm not really a fan of this self-flagulating le epic retro gamer shit though. They forgot that the only people watching their stuff are people who already like old video games so spending more than 5 minutes trying to explain the concept of it is kind of silly.

There’s value in the experience of going to your shelf, grabbing your copy of the game, and sticking it in an actual console. Seeing the box art, having the instructions on hand, it’s just a more analog experience compared to navigating to a file structure.

I mean emulators try and emulate that more and more, but I’d say that speaks to the visceral experience of having it on hand.

The funny thing is how people underestimate the overlap between ROM dumpers/emulator people and collectors. As far as I know, byuu has a CIB Super Famicom full set, and you'd be deluded to think that many prototype dumpers don't keep most of the original discs and carts that they dump for their own personal collections. I know drx is one of the more well known names, and he clearly has a collection of physical discs and carts. Basically people who actually contribute to the ROM scene beyond simply downloading stuff aren't going to be the ones mocking the idea of physical media, the ones who mock are probably the ones who don't actually contribute anything.

I actually don't think you've ever had a big ass collection to understand the difference in all honesty. I've always been a hardware only kind of guy except for translation patches on emulator. But a couple months ago I picked up an everdrive for my N64 to save money, I've never owned any N64 games before. Everything available at once kills drive for some people because they float around game to game. It's a baffling thing that made no sense to me at first, but acquiring one or a handful of games a time makes each one feel more special and personal.
