When I was a kid my parents couldn't afford to get me one for Christmas, and miraculously my mother won one from Taco Bell. They had a promotion running called "score 64 and win". My mom was really depressed at how me and my brother only asked for the one shared gift, and we couldn't afford it, she had a dream that night in which she saw my dead grandfather on the beach and he told her everything was gonna be okay. The next day she stopped at taco bell drive through for a soda after work (something she'd never done before), and peeled off the label on the cup and found out that we won. On Christmas day after me and my brother opened all our gifts, we tried to not let the dissapointment on our faces show because we knew the situation, and while we hadn't gotten what we hoped for, we didn't want it to show. My parents then had us open this one last gift. Me and my bro unwrapped a plastic taco bell cup, (the 64 hadn't arrived in the mail yet) and were confused until they said "read it", we did, and we lost our minds with happiness. You always see those contests, and you think nobody ever wins, but they do. Till this day, I still can't believe it happened, and made it the most memorable Christmas of my life. God is good.

Ok. But that doesn't actually have anything to do with retro games. If I replaced "n64" with "a ferrari" the story would not be about cars.

So you got a console later with no games. Sounds fun.

They couldn't afford to put enough aside through the year to save up for an N64 on xmas, the only thing the kids wanted. The parents sure as sugar aren't buying expensive games, or a second controller so the brother can play too.

Unironically, with Mario 64, Banjo, Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, F-Zero X, GoldenEye and Mario Party, do you even need anything more than that if you're a kid?

You're saying if they couldn't buy a whole video game console, that means they would be incapable of buying a second controller? Are you stupid?
Also you could rent games back then dumbass.

you have to put yourself in the shoes of a prescription addled playstation kid. they don't enjoy playing games, they just like to 'beat' a game which gives them a hit of whatever their brain used to make that got fried. so if they had 8 games that's like a few weeks playing at most and then skitzing out needing a new one to beat

I'd rather be on the /r9k/ (from years ago or even now). It's not my choice to even post here as hiro's moderation has been banning my area off and on for months at a time from random boards, even the whole site, so while it allowes me to post here (but not he /r9k/ the only board I really ever used from 09-20) I have to just be myself. As a true robot I like games, and am unfortunate. So I belong here well enough. For you to recognize that image you basically are similar a user to me, yet you ironically insinuate that I don't belong? Poor people have bad teeth is the point of my using that as a reaction image when in reality that particular /r9k/ user (who's likely dead now so I'm not shillling her, inb4 that as an excuse to ban) is rich but as objectively a reaction image it still fits.

Also, my point about being poor to begin with, did you even have a response to that or are you over all a gigantic faggot?

Right now I am forced to be hopping from /adv/, /vr/, and /g/ for a social life. /adv/ is normalfag tier, /g/ is a bunch of spoiled rich kids, so I"m left with the /vr/ as plenty are only into it due to being so poor that they emulate games and that's why they're into it. Also /tv/ but literally they have redditor memes I've noticed.

One more thing. Blood boiling? Seriously? Console wars are blood boiling richie a thing to post about and I negated it by my claim, in regards to n64 sucking, that most only would have a few games when poor anyway. Complain about actually spamtastic things next time. Console wars could create flame wars. Or complain over new anime, I see really bad new anime posted here and no one bats an eye.

Specifically bad posts on /vr/ are things like "same thread over and over about xenogears being bad" or "it's not that good" posted about random good games. You could be mad at bait or spam but you choose to be autistically challenged.


To add to my previous message. Your 'comfy board' isn't even that perfect for you to bitch over a reaction image.

Thirdly, my post quality went down a couple days ago when I realized moderation here delete racist humor randomly. My being 'careful' and respecting board culture when I'm banned for no reason from 4chan('s boards) is not going to happen. I'll post whatever image I want.

Then don't engage me next time faggot(s).

When a 4chan board bans 25 percent of my posts because of racist humor in regards to donkey kong that's when I start trolling the board. But only if you fall for it, of which you did. And now two have done so.

You should be ASHAMED. Also, you should let me post funny comments about whatever I wish because racist jokes are not against the law.

Another thing about the board, it gate keeps against people that don't know X game. Don't expect me to have respect for any of you here.
