I have been involved in a long process to buy some furniture to my appartment. I have cherished the thought to be, finally, able to have all my books and comics in relative order and realizing the quality of neat. This process has involved numerous trips to local flea-markets and what-nots. Last Saturday I found a perfect pair of book shelves but didn’t have the money to buy the upfront.
Today I went to get my business finished and happened to take a glance around the shop. There it was, innocently lieing on a bare shelf, a Super Nintendo box. Priced at 15€, I made an unusually quick buying decision for me.
Previously I haven’t seen much sense in owning the hardware of an old console itself. If one wishes to play old games, it is much convenient to run them on an emulator. Granted, this case existed when I had no extra money to put on frivolities such as concrete objects. Collecting consoles has always belonged in the when-I’m-rich -situation, which I guess I’m slowly advancing toward.
SNES it is.
Congratulations! My newest discovery is a modded Half-Life 2 server, where someone added the ability to earn and steal money from other player that persists over games -> addicting! Other players can be cops and try to catch criminal players. It is genuinely frustrating to have to wait 10 minutes in jail and beg for the cop to let you out :)
Well, I suppose that’s better than “turning grandma’s in the ‘hood”, as I believe is the correct lingual expression. Incidentally, the place of business in which I conducted my shoppings also had a Nintendo64 on offer at 20€. I’m definetely tempted.
