I gave up even more last night. I spent over $2.0000 last night on rare video games I have been putting off getting because of their price tags. But I feel so hopeless at this point, that I have decided to grab these titles anyway and play them before I can’t anymore. Carpe diem, right? Why the fuck not?
I can tell my mind is slipping a bit, because I forgot my phones password yesterday. That’s never happened to me before. I tried so many passwords I had to wait 3 hours to try one final time before my phone permanently locked me out. Luckily, I got it right on the last guess, but I had to go and write my password down just in case it happened again. I think I may be losing my mind a little, it’s…really draining.

That is a hell of alot of money. If you don’t mind, what were they? I play a lot of games too, so I’m curious. I’m guessing they must super retro. Atari or Coleicovision maybe? But even then I don’t think they cost that much. Super rare limited run games like old dreamcast games? It would be cool if you did a follow up post with what it was like playing them.
The memory thing is pretty scary. If you’ve been through a lot lately, that might explain it. Phone passwords are something we use all the time without thinking, so it’s possible that might factor into it.
As always, I hope things get better.
I own 95% of the North American Sega Saturn game catalog, but I really don’t own any Japanese Saturn games. So, I said screw it and bought a bunch last night. The prices on these games have gotten crazy, because you don’t really need to know Japanese to play them. So the audience that’s buying them is typically not japanese. I may have spent a little more than 2 grand.

This wasn’t everything I wanted, but I needed these in my collection before I died. Regardless of rationality. And no, this does not put me in debt in case anybody was wondering. That’s not a flex, but i’m not leaving somebody else with my debt either.
That makes sense. I don’t know too much about the Saturn or really any of the Sega consoles. I just know that the are valued rather highly and have interesting ports and original games. I haven’t heard of most of those games save for castlvania, parodius, and elevator action. I wasn’t aware that the console isn’t region locked. That’s cool. Honestly I’d say it was worth it. I always dreamed of collecting every console.
If you get bored, you should watch a youtube video of tryrush deppy or wonder 3 arcade gears. I live for this type of weird stuff. And the saturn is region locked. I have an action replay cartridge that unlocks every region.
Are the games self-care? Most definitely. It’s a desperate attempt to keep myself somewhat happyish. Will it work? For a moment it might. I definitely will play them all, but I don’t have the hand eye coordination to beat some of them anymore. But my need for them on my shelf felt important. Even though realistically I know that it isn’t.
You spent money you had earned on something you wanted. I can get the regret, in this economy. I just ordered some new shirts and pants, I could do without them… I meanwhile have $40 of games waiting for me to buy on payday, not even getting into the massive amount of THC…..
The key question is will you get them played? I have to ask myself that and it helped. As long as I’m getting the experience I’m paying for
I don’t know that forgetting a password is too strange. Automated password change came through on one of mine earlier this week, and I’m still working on programming the change in. I have it written down, haven’t had to look yet, but who knows.
How much we expect of ourselves decides how we treat ourselves. I expect a lot and I get it, but only because I also expect a lot in terms of self care. It offends people, how much self care I want.
Those games might be self care, is all I’m saying. Tell me I’m wrong, I might well be. Yet you satisfied yourself, you completed an urge and in no way will it profit anyone but you.
lo, sorry, the above post was meant for you heartless.
