Remember the whole retro video game phenomenon around the early 2010s Classic Game ROOM and Angry Video Game Nerd. It got me going to those retro gaming stores to buy PS2 games and some n64 games. Remember the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console? Holyshit... As a kid, I saved my money to buy a Nintendo Wii prepaid card to get Donkey Kong Country on the SNES Virtual Console. I love every second of it. However, when I was 16 years old a friend told me about PSP and N64 emulation in 2011. I realize that I can download a sheet ton of games for free OMG!!! Free gud dang it!!! It totally changes my whole life and perspective as a teenager. I thought to myself will I get into trouble and the answer was "Not really?". When I realized that I no longer had to buy a physical copy of that retro game?. I can get that game and play it on the go on my school laptop.
Emulation is absolutely a life-changer

Video Games in 2024?
The last new game I bought was No Man Sky last year lol. That was due to me trying to hype myself up before the release of Star Field. Plus it was $29.99 bucks on a Steam Sale so I just can't say no to that lol. I used up my remaining XBOX live points on Game Pass to try out Star-Field. I really like the design of the machine gun lol. However, Star Field does feel bland unlike like fallout 4?. But Fallout4 was 8 years ago lol. I did enjoy Fallout 4 a lot from a story and gameplay standpoint. But What happens?? to Bethesda? Haha.
I don't really expect myself to buy any games soon though. Since gaming in general is getting a bit bland for my taste I'm willing to accept that nowadays. Since we don't own our digital games. And that's OK. At least we get free games from Epic lol I guess I'm getting old and careless or just finding something that only suits my enjoyment. At the same time, it is best to enjoy what game you have since it's a timeless experience.
Games I only play regularly lol
- FFXIV
- Old School RuneScape
- Gary's Mod
- GTA 5
- No Man Sky "Driving in space and blowing stuff up"
DawnTrail is going to be a long wait lol". Excited for the next expansion though lol.
The biggest wait for now until 2025 is GTA6!!!! I seriously can't wait for that game to come out lmao. When that game comes out in 2025 for the consoles lol but when the PC version comes out in 2026 or 2027 I'll be in my 30s bro lmao and GTA5 was released when I was in my senior year lol.
For the upcoming XBOX/PlayStation Consoles coming out this November, I am not interested at all. I don't care since they are irrelevant due to how technology is just so advanced so quickly. The last new console I ever bought for my younger brother was a PS4 Pro. Before that was the XBOX ONE in the summer of 2014. Nintendo Switch 2 I'm not that excited as well mehh Nintendo is just Being Nintendo just like Apple. That's my Small Ramblings on video games lol. Like I said I think I'm just getting old and just wanna stick with one thing only lol.
