Is it possible to have too many games? Has access to so many games trivialized them? The experience felt so much more special when there were fewer and you had to research what you wanted to buy.

Wake up, sleepyheads.
It's time to look at your video games!

Most days having the energy and mental alertness needed to play videogames is simply not there. Literal cancer patients seem to have more energy and cognitive power than I have.

Yes. When you can have anything you appreciate nothing

I have a hidden folder on my HDD called "_Storage". It's full of romsets and isos. I research games on the internet and old magazine scans. When I decide a game to play, i go to that folder, get the rom/iso, and copy it to the flashcard / internal storage of its original hardware. And just play that game to competition. If I really really like it like a 10/10, I might even purchase a legit physical copy. I purposely do this to avoid thinking about the opportunity cost of playing a game having full romsets or having analysis paralysis. Rinse and repeat

Yeah when I was a kid growing up in the 90s/early 2000s I had like 5 games on GameBoy and 10 games on PS1. I think I played Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9 all the way through at least twice each. I replayed Metal Gear Solid and MediEvil around a dozen times each as well since they were relatively quick to finish.

No we're just old

I have all the games I could ever have wanted to play when I was younger. But now I'm too old to play them all. When I die someone will throw out my hdds with TBs worth of roms I've forgotten even exist.

I got banned

Apparently my mobile data IP adress was banned for posting illegal porn on 4chan
That's crazy. I have no idea how that works, that's just not enough retro for me.
