I agree OP, I hate it, too and I wish renting was still possible. I mean, when these collectors then decide to sell their collection, they somehow mix up the value of the game with how valuable these games are for them personally. It's a piece of plastic. It might look nice. It might be nostalgic. But fuck anyone who tries to sell me a fucking gameboy game for 200$. These jews are just ridiculous. I'll be honest I paid a lot for some games before, but it's just not worth it most of the time. You can still get PS1 games for 20$, but as soon as they hit that sweet spot between rare and popular they immediately spike up to 150$. Ah and don't forget the extra 50$, because it has the fucking manual included and the box only has a few scratches instead of being completely fucked up beyond recognition.
But whatever, I just emulate those that I can't get (something like Panzer Dragoon Saga - found one for 750$ - fucking crazy) and buy those I am willing to afford. Can't do much about it.

I'm with you to a degree OP. It seems to me that many collectors treat their hobby as an endless activity, akin to hoarding. To them it's like collection becomes a greedy endeavour, which isn't about the joy of playing the actual games anymore. It seems also that collecting crosses over with "jewing", or market-manipulating simply put. I have a small collection going, only 10 games or so in total, and I couldn't imagine having a collection of 1000 games, like what kind of person has time to play a 1000 games?

Why not select out of those 1000, your 50 favorites, and sell the rest? Because it's not about playing, it is about the collecting itself, and especially about taking a compulsive behavior (which perhaps, admittedly, began as a "hobby") and turning it into another way of "making money". The end result is that the "collector" has a lot of games, and a lot of money, while the video-game enjoyers must face huge price hikes for games that they actually want to play. That's the society we live in, truely makes you think.

[Anonymous No.7390506]

This is why collecting is a cancer. No one can fault a well curated, thoughtful collection. But the market is driven by people who want to have complete system collections, driving up the prices of all games, even ones that suck or are relatively common but have meme status and become expensive as shit. For some reason the people who spend money on retro games are also idiots. A coworker at my last job bragged about buying ALttP for $200 and he was making around $35k/yr in an apartment.

These will degrade over time the more they're played though. Since they use actual needles and friction, over time the needles will wear down the disc (although the discs are super hard precisely for this purpose). Still, while many shellac vinyls from the 20s can still be played, you will often find more popular ones to have suffered in quality because they were more often played.

This is a uniquely American mentality. In most of the rest of the world (even developed nations), people who dedicate a whole room of their house to their "collection" of some random consumer product are rightly mocked. In Japan, the secondhand market was kept alive because 99.99% of people who play games eventually resell the majority of their collection, partly because they don't have space at home and partly because they don't want to fall into the "shut-in otaku" stereotype.

Everyone collects for different reasons. I collect games to play first, then flash out my collection with titles that I just want or are 'rare'. I don't see why fags spend x5 what a game is worth just to put it on a shelf and never touch it again, and definitely not open it. When I see some fag buying a CIB n64 controller to shelf I cringe cause I would immediately open that mf just to play with that crisp new stick. But I do agree OP, fags collecting just so they can post pictures for you's/likes so they can feel cool are pretty wack. Zoomies lusting for nostalgia trying to reminisce a world they were never apart of don't help either

We should be directing our hate towards the flippers. They are the faggots driving up the prices trying to make a quick buck instead of collecting because they love. All the fucking dweebs that bought NES classics, SNES classics, Game and Watches, etc by the dozen to hoard and resell deserve the gas.

If you aren't a collector and just want to play games for the sake of playing games why wouldn't you emulate everything? It sounds like you might be pretty similar to them if you have some weird sense of physical cartridge worship holding you back from enjoying the ability to obtain and play any game you want like magic all from the same physical device.
I was born in the mid-eighties and I don't see any reason not to use emulation for all the games I used to need dedicated systems and cartridges for. It's crazy to me more people don't appreciate the ridiculously convenient zero cost and effectively infinite scope of game conjuring afforded to us by modern emulation and the public internet.

I’ve recently started collecting PSP games last year and it’s very based. The games are ridiculously cheap most being $5-$10 even the rarest games ever made for the system are maybe $70-80. I only buy the ones I genuinely like and will play so my collection only about 50 games out of the possible 700 the system had.

lol it feels like this thread is full of defensive collector fags and militant anti collector fags that are ultimately both just sad manchildren at the end of the day

personally, it feels good to do whatever you want with retro games and not care about what some angry 35 year olds say on an anonymous image board. I'd suggest all of you to enjoy your gaming lives instead of obsessing over others' decisions but I know your response to me will just be calling me a retard or some similar childish insult.

econd, the research generally indicates that magnetic tapes (like VHS, VHS-C, etc.) stored well, will experience 10-20% signal loss, purely from magnetic remanence decay, after 10-25 years.

so best case scenario all vhs are losing significant amounts of signal at this point.

The thing that people don't realize is that if nobody values stuff, it gets sent to the dump and it's lost and forgotten. But if people value or like things, and preserve them, even if most of whatever that thing is that gets thrown away be it an early Colt revolver, a pre-WWII TV, a WWI-era early tube radio receiver, an early computer, car, motorcycle, airplane, coin...

Whatever it is, if it's not valued it's likely to be lost forever. The most baffling thing is retro video game fans who play with emulators getting angry that people are buying up the real deal. If they weren't, this would have indicated that things weren't as valued and thus the stuff, without people who are attached to it, gets recycled.

Imagine if you could travel back in time and tell your great grandpa to buy a bunch of those old model t's in the '30s when people were ditching them in droves becuase they were "old junk..."

Narcissistic devaluation. Basically when a narcissist is denied, they react with devalue. It makes it easier to deal with their extreme envy. Because once a thing doesn't have value any longer. The envy fades away. But in truth they just suppress these feelings, and the whole thing becomes psycho-active from their shadows. That is why you have this grotesque behavior on here when it comes to real hardware and physical possessions. Its literally painful for them.

i live in a completely barren room, the walls are white, the ceiling is white. There are no windows. There are no lights except a simple lamp(with no shade). I am nude at all times. The only possession I own is a windows XP computer with a small LCD screen. If I ever wanted to play a game, which I don't, I would emulate it. This may sound crazy to you, but this is what it means to not be a consoomer.

yeah I don't play nintendo games. here's two consoles (three technically since I use the ps2 to play ps1 games more than anything) I actually liked and also kept in perfect condition along with a Genesis mini so I can play all the games from my childhood.

This is precisely why I am happy with the absence of physical media. I have some games in my Steam library that I've never played, but they are not taking up any physical space, nor are they collecting dust. I love it that I can have an enormous catalog of games from Arcade, Atari, NES, Genesis, and SNES, on picrel, that's the size of my fingernail.
This is a thing of beauty. OP pic is the mark of a miserable person.
Enthusiasts are fun. Collectors are a drag.

its not so much of "stop buying physical things" but more so, do you really need to physically own 300+ games.
the picture you posted i can guarantee that 90% of the mountains of shit they have they never touch.
if you actually reduced the amount of games you physically own by both your enjoyment and probability of you playing them at least once more throughout your life you'd realise you just have entire shelfs collecting dust which could be sold for a lot of money.

take your meds, schizo

take pride in your hobbies and the stuff you own. You sound like the type of faggot who just sticks everything in the closest because. you would probably put your shitty walmart drawers in your closest too if you could

zoomers go through a faze where they get a false sense of maturity by believing that minimalism and a lack of personality makes someone seem more mature. perhaps you never grew out of that phase in high school

What collecting is based around "need?" In fact, most of human activity is based around activities other than "need."

And if you want to make the experience as authentic as possible, get a pi or a MisterFPGA, a CRT and mod old controllers for USB/BT, or get decent replacements. Nowadays you can buy replacement pcbs from 8bitshit that will fit on og controllers and just work.

>Muh lag
Use runahead on a pi, it only adds like 2 frames anyway. Or get a MisterFPGA.

I switched almost exclusively to emulators and play them on my CRT over RGB. It's perfect this way, and I can still beat Punch-out just fine.
