let's not pretend we buy retro games after we pirate them
Speak for yourself, faggot
>>12646432>Buying retro games.Most of them are not available officially anymore or are playable via bad and outdated emulators.I'm not gonna pay 500$+ to some e-bay ghoul or wait till Nintendo will eventually fix their shit just to play Super Mario Bros.
>>12646443>outdated emulators.they just werkz. new emus are all bloat that steals from old emu. biggest shilled "UI" being RA by squarepusher.
>>12646443Etrianbro is right, it's not like I'm giving money to the devs by buying an overpriced piece of plastic from a loser collector or worse scammer and if it's a big company like Nintendo they are not going to starve if I pirate some 1995's gameboy game
>>12646451I'm talking specifically about official emulators. Kid me not - Nintendo's NES emulation on Switch shits itself spectacularly if there's more than 8 or more sprites on the screen because they did not implemented flickering and/or anti-flickering hacks.Or Pokemon FRLG that is 20$ for a barebone emulation with language options sold separately, minor censorship and some weird and sneaky data collecting in versions outside EU.
>>12646443>>12646470>pEdOnot retro, go back to /vg/
I buy Arcade Archive games
I only pirate games that aren't available for purchase on modern platforms.
>>12646436>cataloguing rampant consumerismpure autism
>>12646436incredibly cringe and autistic but not as much as bum ass OP
>>12646761>>12646764Seethe harder, poorfags
>>12646432>weuser is underage
>>12646784cataloging is poorfag behavior actually
>>12647250this. most people don't have time for that shit.
>>12646432>he buys overpriced ROMs from a limited selection
>>12647263He pirates*Tico iirc
>>12647250I started doing it because I couldn't remember if I had Donkey Kong Jr and there were two separate occasions where I almost bought it but ultimately decided to pass, but then went home and realized I already had it. And that happened when my collection was much smaller (less than 100 games).
>>12647759>retarded cope to justify retarded behaviorliterally retarded
>>12646432Every single one? Fuck no. The ones I really enjoy and aren't some stupidly high price because retards think there's some kind of long term asset value to these things? Absolutely.
>>12646784I just buy stuff. Or not. I don't need to meticulously document it to satisfy my autistic needs and/or flex online with the stats. I'm not bound by your petty shackles.
>>12646432>play n64 on original hardware with original cartridges>play original hardware with probably counterfeit cartridge, but it looks original>play original hardware with cartridge that has a SD card of every game>play switch with sd card of every game>play chinkheld with sd card of every game1996 was 30 years ago
>>12646432money won't be going to the authors' pockets anyway, so why bother? feeling generous for the corpo?
Yes I do, a large physical collection even. Not some garbage digital rerelease that will get removed when they inevitably shut down the service.
>>12648319I log stuff so I don't accidentally but duplicates. It is really not that difficult to do. You can the game case barcode, select games' components (manuals, case, etc.) and it automatically calculates the price. I will never understand why people feel personally threatened by others enjoying collecting whichever way they do
>>12646432Hello fellow tico chad what are we emulating today?
>>12646432That user interface looks like something that can only come from a deranged mind
>>12646526>pEdOEtrian has no sexual content in it though.
>>12648647>Etrian has no sexual content in it though.and so is your life
>>12648649If I wanted shitty comeback I'd dig it out of your asshole.
>>12648662the only thing you're digging is food you fatso
>>12648924Might as well make it taste good for when you eat my ass.
>>12648338>1996 was 30 years agoI feel old.
