I seem to have made my kids purists. They think emulators are cancer and that you must have the actual console for authentic exprience.

For just in case I made them a retropi with shit-ton of roms.

Safe so far.

Getting the original console for just a few games can be quite expensive. More recent consoles like PS2/3 and Wii (u) are quite affordable.

At the time my kids were late teens, so they used their own money to create their small “console museum”.

Added plus is that godparents and grandparents don’t need to think what to get as gifts. Grandparents are a bit clueless about the matter, but godparents are knowledgeable and are aware of the state of the collection.

I bought my steam deck to be mine and mine alone. Kids aren’t allowed to touch it, if they want to play something they can use the switch.

What in the world were you expecting? Of course they do! It’s the ultimate handheld gaming machine, running a full-fledged PC operating system and capable of playing almost anything a PC can. I would have loved a device like that when I was little.

The possibilites with the Steam Deck are just amazing. We’re currently playing Yoshis Woolly World on Cemu in coop mode. Fun for both me and my boy :)

Bought mine, kiddo wouldn’t let go. Bought her one, now she won’t touch hers or mine 🤷‍♂️

It’s always those things you don’t have that are the most interesting.
