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
