Do you collect anything? How did you start? (lemmy.world)

I find that most people in my life have at least one "thing" they are collecting. It is often an insight into their personality and it is fun to hear people talk about something they are passionate about.

It's crazy that those consoles could be considered retro nowadays

You’re telling me!

I’ve had the same Wii since I was a child though, so… it does hurt my knees to know that it is a retro console these days. 🥲

Dude I was working at Gamestop when the Wii came out, you're telling me.

I've gotten into selfhosting lately, and my newest obsession is setting up a browser based emulator that I can access from anywhere and basically play 3 games - contra, balloon fight, and caddilacs & dinosaurs

Edit - I mean play legally backed up copies of these games :)
