I like old and new. I love my retro emulators (which I put a lot of effort into setting up just right; and I'd love some original hardware if I could afford it). I also love my PS5.

Does software count?

I'm knee deep in Caesar II and Total Annihilation campaigns

There’s not a lot of video games that don’t have software.

You’d have to back to what, Pong? I see Monaco GP from 1979 listed as one of the last TTL-based games from Sega, but not sure about other companies.

I should've just said PC, I don't know what I was thinking

My brain must have just frozen when I was trying to think of a word in the absence of console

All good. I used to make a strong distinction between “video games” and “computer games” and at the time it was true but now the line has blurred to the point that the distinction is in interface style and the scale between reliability and versatility.

GBC almost exclusively these days, I just can't devote the time to things like Morrowind anymore as much as I want to. I do want to hack my OG Xbox and run Voodoo Vince, Psychonauts, and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy again, but then that only brings me up to like 2003.

And some people play poker, or even chess. What can you do, people like old stuff.

None of my game consoles are younger than 2000. I can't deal with PC gaming, I hate subscription models, and refuse to download "games" to my phone.
