I have to admit every time I see one I really get the urge to buy one. But personally I prefer buying older systems and putting emulators on them. The PSP is a classic for instance.

Nintendo knocking it out of the park. It is a pity that their best games are coming at the perceived end of the generation.

I don’t think there is a cutoff age, but I have noticed that non-gamers see gaming more like watching TV, i. e. a passive, somewhat trivial form of entertainment. The reason is because people tend to first think of Tetris and not Disco Elysium or Persona, or VR games. They just don’t know that it is an intellectually actibe and stimulating hobby. But I cannot fault them for that. Imagine telling someone your hobby is watching TV. I did tell my SO that I like gaming, but I also like other things that they enjoy too. If she ever asks me about it though, I am happy to talk about it or show something to her.

Incredibly satisfying setup but the rack is actually my favorite part :)

I was in college at the time and I regret not buying it. It was not that popular in my neck of the woods

That is so cool! Didn’t know this was possible. Is there any lag?

I second this, especially the RetroArch method. Works incredibly well.

Cave Story would be my vote. A very good story-based (and free!) platformer that came out waaay before the indie boom.

I am happily gaming with my refurbished PS4 I got for about 130 usd 2 years ago. I find the graphics still pretty decent and the gaming experience is top notch.
