Probably one of the most "I am the media and toys I consume" moments I've yet seen.

Probably like 40 grand on those shelves

      I get collecting games to a certain extent (games that mean a lot to you or things like that) but hoarding crap like the chicken little the movie game?

      The hell?

      Love gaming and talking about it with people. "gamerstm" and the retro collecting market ATM not so much Mr. soros

        Playing now-forgotten games from 1987 :geordi-yes:

        Interacting with the community of people who build their identity around that kind of consumption :geordi-no:

          When I talk to those kinds of people I can't help but be reminded games are capitalist treats at their core. At least when im playing something older like Super Metroid or Super Mario RPG, it's a bit easier to forget.

            there was some grassroots video game development in the socialist bloc back in the 80s, but it was mostly limited to a few nerds and due to their technological disadvantage in the field of chips, not that complex either.

              tetris, still to this day popular, made without any capitalist pressures
