Also "Tallest Midget" types who aren't affluent but are nostalgic af have made Retro Game Prices untenable like spending an immense share of their Income on obscure Titles.

Also you could get a clean 1990 BMW or fox body for like $2000 in 2010, now High Losers are millionaires sooooo never again.

there are counterfeit cartridges out there now. redditors will poast pics asking if something is Counterfeit. often it is. the MFEs are looking at the font and slight differences in coloration. they mostly look real af.

Again as I always say, the only thing worth saving is the Hardware. I don't think "physical game" enthusiasts understand that Games literally aren't "physical." they are Code. they are Software.

this is a separate issue from the current State of new physical games where digital-only is just way to jack prices up long-term imo. physical used games are worthless af until Losers start collecting them 20 years later, like you could get shit for $5 nbd. Like you could get last year's Madden for like $2 back in the day. Digitally it'll be more than that anywhere imo.

Wachenroder, Panzer Dragoon Orta, then you're talking.

I'd still rather spend the Same Money on an extra Taisen Cable tbh. it's all about the Hardware.

And yeah I was obsessed with hating boomers in like 2010 but at this point what are you even talking about, they are totally eradicated from the workplace except for "emeritus" type sinecures or cuspers who shouldn't even count. Like Brad Pitt is a fake boomer imo. Sometimes the cusper/first few years is the quintessential member of the Gen, such as with boomers. The earlier the birth, the more boomery the boomer. Kamala is a fake boomer. And yeah there are boomers who are basically designed to be our arch-nemesis poasting in the WSJ comment section with their Real Names who did Nothing for 40 years and have $18,000,000k nw but are you literally talking about 78 year olds? Gen X would outnumber them atm if they weren't dropping dead constantly (projected to Outnumber them in 2028 lol)

Anyway there are rich parasites (ashkenazi jews), rich industrious people (Benjamin Franklin circa 1750), poor parasites, poor industrious people, and people don't seem to understand that all 4 of these things exist. It's a Quadrant of sorts. And I am annoyed with the Parasites of all types. I do No Work atm btw but I am no parasite afaict.

Blame the rich parasites, sure, but on some level, if Gen X had enough backbone to ask for a raise or something instead of shrewdly biding its time for 50 years, they would've been able to afford to pay for their Houses. If the wealthy boomers knew that they had skimmed so much off the top of Gen X labor that the entire Gen was insolvent, they might've made some concessions.
