I’m lucky in that I never sold any old consoles. I’ve got stuff dating back to the NES and Master System. And all of it still works too, right down to the Dreamcast.

So thankfully I’ll still be able to play games once the console market implodes. I’m definitely not buying a new console if there’s no physical medium available.

And yeah, I’m going to be more actively collecting for those older systems. They can’t steal the stuff you physically own…

I hear that. My grandfather was descended of German nobility. Nothing major, but he was the son of a prince. To be clear: a complete nobody even when German nobility was still a thing pre-WW1. After the war, they pretty much abolished all that in a revolution.

But basically, if I go back four generations, we owned a ‘castle’ somewhere. Meanwhile, I’m solidly in the peasant class.
