Beats living a boring life plus that is sort of how it goes for a lot of people who took the straight road and it is hard to predict how things could have gone with different choices. I don’t really know many doing great despite taking the path they were told or expected to take. Most people I knew are just getting by or doing awful except for maybe but I wouldn’t really know but yeah being in good physical and mental health is definitely something one would want and debt is a constant drain on your mind. I am glad you are getting where you want to be though :)

Sounds like you have had an exciting time during school. The kind of life I dreamt about having back then.

Being able to mod a system using random shit that was available in school got me paid tho

Sweet!

I think I also recall them being fatter than the original battery but I might be wrong

I sure do remember that one. A lot of people didn’t want it to do it themselves and would buy those batteries. I think they called it Pandoras battery.

I thought you had to screw around to flash it with a JTAG connector or something but that makes it convenient. I didn’t know about gameshark either tbh. They used to sell pirated video game cd/dvds for pennies on the street here since the late 90s but I assumed they were all for PC. Magazines always gave free cds which was nice. I didn’t know any kids with playstation or xbox personally but nes era stuff is something I did see. The old psp was kind of common as well when it came out.

That sounds so cool. I remember hearing so much about homebrew stuff back then.

Thats neat! I would too if I had one. I guess they might be still available on the used market if I looked for one but I like the idea of using handhelds on the bed. I have only played a few console games on emulators so there is so much I could play when I get one. Alternatively I could also buy a sipeed tang fpga and get two hobbies at the price of one.

Those things are expensive and have expensive games but I did wish for a console in my childhood. I would buy a retro game handheld though. All the games I never got to play for around 60-100 dollars. Plus the prices we have to pay here is a lot more than what Americans and Europeans are used to paying and the pay is abysmal but I see people save up for years or buy with loans and installments.

I had fond memories of that game

bit idea???

Also If you like collecting them I don’t mind giving them out to you. I am sorry about your cat

They should be in good condition so I hope they are worth something. I will DM you when I get home. The cards I had weren’t valuable but the stuff other kids wanted from me were these things. I just hope they are not fake though. I remember getting them from a convenience store.

Thanks :) Can I DM you in a few months because I won’t be able to check until then. I remember the other kids telling me the cards weren’t worth much but the other stuff they really wanted off my hands because it was apparently quite rare but idk if there is a demand for pogs or tazos.

It’s from late 90s maybe back when there weren’t so many pokemons so I assumed they weren’t worth much because they might be extremely common? but the pack is not sealed unfortunately :( I do really need the money right now. I have some old 90s game and cds as well so I kind of want to see if I can sell them when I go back home to meet my parents. I also have some other collectibles like pogs and tazos and maybe some other stuff.

I am sorry comrade. I have never played TCGs before but they always looked fun. I think I still have a single pack of pokemon cards from my childhood that a friend gave to me because I was left out.

Sorry but it is woke if you feel something waking inside you 😮‍💨
