solid S for hoarders
it's literally just data on a chip wrapped in some cheap chink plastic and said plastic is exactly the same as any other
it's not unique inside either and the data itself is still floating around the hellscape we call the internet, you can get it anytime you want
I can understand preserving something you got as a gift, but other than that it's just idiotic

I can at least understand coins and stamps and the like because they're actual physical objects and each of them have their own unique imperfections

Y'all laughing now but you wouldn't be inclined if you knew what horrors awaited you. The great Miyamoto-san prophesied the great cleansing, during the console wars of the 90s he spoke of the rise of the fake fans that would litter the gaming collective. Here you are, the non-nintenlievers thinking you have somehow won the war when in reality it was just the battle. To think someone would be so foolish to believe in false prophets like Bernie, Kutaragi, and Phil. Its blasphemy, you need to join us before it to late because what nintendon't do is steal your soul. Miyamoto-san is all forgiving and will accept you for who you are if you just turn over 10% of your paychecks to Nintendo. Hurry before the cleansing occurs.

I actually play them.
I have about 30 NES games, try to get licensed stuff that will never be made officially available again (like Ducktales, TMNT, Jackie Chan’s action Kung Fu, etc.). the rest are just the classic must haves, original carts I had as a kid, personal favorites or stuff ppl just give me. I’d like to get an Everdrive at some point though for stuff that’s prohibitively expensive (like Bonk’s Adventure or Mighty Final Fight).

But you can just emulate with a 240p CRT and controller of your choice, with identical latencies to the original system. I don't see why it would matter if the original hardware is on the table while you play or not.

But you follow the same stories, the same quests, find the same secrets, hear the same music. Who cares if this is displayed over a flat screen or a CRT. When you're drawn into a game you don't think of individual pixels. Emulation provides that same experience in that regard.

I can almost guarantee that I make more money than you, probably much more. It’s not a matter of access to money, it’s a matter of how to allocate that money. The value proposition of buying original games & hardware is extremely weak when emulation is readily available.
It sounds a lot more like you’re the one coping, trying to justify wasting a ton of money on some ill-conceived attempt at recreating childhood.

It depends on the controller. I mean, yeah, the keyboard is better than some of this Logitech jank with their bad d-pads and button cushions that wear-out fairly quickly. They'll get destroyed within a year of constant usage. There's typically a USB adapter for any retro controller, and I'd think any official, DualShock PlayStation controller is good enough for most emulators.

[Anonymous No.8579089]

After 25 years of buying the newest console and games, the push for digital media, mandatory installs, updates, dlc, micro transactions and internet dependent games drove me to give up on the next generation from here on out. I’ve gone back to older consoles, primarily the PS2 for exactly that reason. I want an easy, pick up and play experience and the enjoyment of having the game in hand, the box art, having it on the shelf and knowing it’ll work every time.
I don’t see anything new ever giving us an experience like that again. Retro games and consoles will only become more valuable because of that. And fortunately, there’s many to choose from with huge libraries of games I’ve never played and many I’d be happy to play again.

Who cares? Why I should care if I can run games better than your authentic bullcrap?
And hecc - arguably you're fucking wrong because in last few years emulation for most of retro consoles got extremely accurate. So unless you are one of these weirdos that gets a hard on when they blow into cartridge (which is not gaming and I'm pretty sure you can 3D print fake NES cartridge for the same experience), there's no reason to downplay emulation.

Your ancient, overpriced pieces of plastic are literally disappearing from this planet as this thread shows, emulation is the only sure way to preserve games.

Also why would I need to watch out for children urinating on my items? Are you from a 3rd world dirt country where that is a common experience? Would explain why you can only afford to emulate.

Oh, you commented back to me? Sorry, I was busy working and making money to enjoy doing stuff with so didnt get a chance to check your recent hissy fit.

Wow, you're certainly a big boy arnt you! Well im not going to confirm if im older or younger then you, but I will say im old enough that the systems and games I purchased were gotten far below their original sale value, heck I got a few of them for nothing because the previous owners didn't want them anymore. It sure was a nice era when people could enjoy the hobby on a small budget, even children could get into it easy! It must be extremely frustrating getting into it late and needing to either spend over half your McDonalds paycheck on a single item or needing to degrade yourself to using inferior, poorly designed alternative means. :(

collecting is only redeemable if it goes beyond just buying crap at stores, like if you collect fossils you find in mountains you hike through, or collect wood carvings you make yourself, or collect pictures of birds in nature or sexy women at the beach you photo personally, etc

If your hobby is hoarding purchases you make at the mall it doesn't matter what you hoard the whole endeavor is cringe and contrived, that's a hobby for retired grannies filling their closets with useless baubles they bought at the mall

Just because you need to spend some money on doesn't make it cringe. It was excavation and discovery for the common person, same with books, movies or comics. Its why certain games became popular in the first place that would have been forgotten. It was one of the key reasons retro gaming was ever even a thing: buying the old toys other people no longer played.

I could partially see the argument that its more just consuming for the sake of it, because the unknowns are now widely known. But any collecting that is in the form of acquiring knowledge of the unique or the unknown is the same category.

[Anonymous No.8589196]

>>8589134
For most stuff, yeah. But there is still the potential for knowledge accumulation in a sense. Something like Earthbound has been fucked inside and out by people dissecting its design and ranting about the creators intended "meaning", but you still have the possibility to stumble upon an obscure game only released in a certain region or undocumented or only lightly "disected" by those aware of it. There are still things out there not dumped online and really without "collectors", these roms and disk images wouldn't be available in the first place. (Except prototype hoarders, fuck them)

people have given up on asking rights holders to properly rerelease games and increase supply, so the only place they have to direct their rage at not being able to afford them is the people who already own them, who they conflate with ebay scalpers.
The supply isn’t growing and YouTube and streamers are causing demand to grow, so the way out going forward is to either emulate or focus your buying on cheap games, i.e. the ones that ecelebs aren’t talking about.

I have my collection from when I was a kid and teenager. I started 'collecting' in 2003 up until 2010 when prices were still pretty decent for SNES/NES/N64 and flashcarts weren't that well known. Now I have a closet full of games and a flashcart for each system hooked up at all times. I have no urge to sell my collection but I am not actively looking for anything to add to it. Earthbound could come down to 50$ cart only and I wouldn't even look at it. I am liking the Switch games and playing some more modern stuff as a result.

I feel weird about classic games but I have a closet full of good ones that would make people envious so maybe that's why I don't care.

The reason to buy prototypes is because unless you own some yourself, you’re never going to get invited to play any others.
