It's the same damn people who say they love saturday morning cartoons. Like, okay, that's not an issue. No, no, they have to go further than th<SNIP>

You shout at clouds, don't you?

The people who can sit there with their 30 year old worn out 15" CRT desperately trying to claim they're having fun is indeed something I don't get. And then the people chasing down the 30" and larger CRTs... apparently forgetting how much room those things took up, and how insanely heavy they were. These are the same type of people generally confused about why those NES/SNES mini consoles sold so well. Most people just want to plug shit into their 65" TV and be done with it. Not find some clapped out CRT, pull it apart, repair and calibrate it, find some working console that they likely need to get re-built controllers for because the rubber and plastic bits inside disintegrated after 40 years, etc.

And then the space of keeping these consoles around, the pile of games, controllers, the fucking cables to connect everything.

The other part of the retro game emulation community isn't much better either "get this kit, this dev board, and these add-ons, then solder everything together, use this image for an SD card then just load up your ROMs!" meanwhile you've got something sitting in front of the TV that looks like a katamari got rolled through a Radioshack assuming you could even be bothered to buy all of the crap and then put it together, and half the time parts of the shit you need are out of stock for months at a time anyway(I've looked into this) or finding some $150 chinabox loaded up with god knows what malware that falls apart in 6 months.

As much as I love LGR and don't have too much negative to say on Clint himself, I just cannot imagine being in his shoes, being surrounded by so much computer junk. At least that's what an outsider's perspective will see it all as, just obsolete computer junk that is only appealing to a hobbyist.

At least he's handling his stash in a fairly organized manner than most in comparison.

Oh yeah, I don't know when it got so trivial for emulation to get to that extent you explained. I'm just damn happy with simply having a program that can actually run the damn games at all. It always annoyed me how someone will always chime in, whenever a handheld like the Steam Deck is released, that they'll say "Oh this will be a GREAT EMULATION MACHINE!" like are you just not content with how there's like a hundred fucking handheld emulation devices that are out there prior to turning the Steam Deck into yet *another* one?

Anyways, Pat is a hypocrite. I'm on Flea Market Madness 32 and within 3 minutes, he goes to plug in a shitty app that specializes in determining the value of NES games. When, up to this point of the video in the series, he's been haggling sellers and bitching about how he keeps finding bad deals (that's not up to his wittle standards).

He's such a bullshitter, who thinks he's on the side of your average collector who does it for passion and actually wants to play games, but comes out sounding more and more like the reseller he claims he hates.

How hasn't Pat yet gotten his own thread? I mean for all the shit we talk of him, on a thread that isn't entirely about him, he's been cropping up.

I don't know(but I have a guess), and I don't find how trivial it is to emulate old hardware being a problem. You can emulate a ps1 on a raspberry pi stuffed into an altoids tin with a screen, battery, and controls. That particular formfactor isn't for me, but I've got no problem with it existing. I think it really just might have been those "mini" consoles that people can just plug in and have 20 games on them, and chinese factories stealing work done by others for years and realizing they can package it into a plastic shell and sell it to people in the west with disposable income. Making it into an "appliance" in a way.

It's kind of like 3d printers. They've existed for years, but the real breakthrough after ender 3 clones were being produced for $125, was the bambu labs stuff that was more expensive but for the most part was just a matter of pulling it out of the box, loading up some filament, and it worked. No having to spend 3 hours assembling it, no having to solder boards or find custom OS images to get a better set of features than the basic $125 garbage, it just worked. The reality is with a lot of this shit, emulation included is that most people are interested in the outcome(playing old games on a TV) not the amalgamation of 3 other hobbies and collecting random crap that was required to do it(including having a PC in the living room to run emulators off of that).

Nice walls of text to babel about everything but the AVGN thread. Are you two Slobwave mole accounts? What an assload of fuck!

Hey, Justy, I have a mole inside Slobwave myself. He has a lot of interesting things to say.

But I must go now, 5:40 is approaching and I have rush my pet sped back to his kennel. Goddamn his balding! Lol. Lmao even!

Yes, 5:40, James is balding, we get it.

What you as a dumb nigger can't seem to grasp, is that James himself doesn't do much and as a result there isn't anything to talk about. The last video he even made was 3 weeks ago bitching about the same shit everyone already complains about in movie theaters. Before that, Mortal Kombat 2(the recent movie), a fucking 2 hour clip compilation, going to some biodome bullshit with the fat effeminate screenwave retard over a month ago, going to a fucking pizza hut before that.

He hasn't done an AVGN video since fucking March, and it isn't like he goes sperging on social media about politics for us to make fun of. Have you found anything recent that James has actually done? No? Then shut the fuck up.
