      They somehow got me to play a ton of Wii and collectathons this year with events and… some retro games suck but they suck less with RA.

    Some of my most played games in the past few months are:

    • Animal Crossing (2001, GameCube)
    • Pokémon Yellow (1998, Game Boy)
    • Pokémon Crystal (2000, Game Boy Color)
    • various Castlevania games, from the 1986 NES original, to currently Rondo of Blood (1993, TurboGrafx-16)
    • God of War 1 & 2 (2005 & 2007, PS2)

    Having a blast with these old games.

    Also finished Breath of the Wild recently, which is a fairly new game, but still nearly 10 years old.

      I’ve been promising myself one day to play Crystal. Have been thinking about it since it was released… One day.

      God of War 1 & 2 were such good games, especially 2. Then 3 was somehow even better. I’ve been playing Ragnarök this past month and I’m of half a mind to record a 2 hour rant video about how they are risking to destroy the series.

      I’m working my way through Links Awakening DX HD. The enhancements make a fantastic game even better.

    Retroarch is an amazing tool. It is also available on most phones now. Grab a BT controller or if you have a backbone that works too.

    Ready to go with you games. Or do a nice setup on almost any computer at home.

      Dolphin as well for Wii games. I was surprised when my 5 year old phone I paid maybe 150$ for could play most Wii games with zero lag.

      Thought we were talking about games, not very long movies…

      Back in the day I bought an edition of xenosaga ii that came with a dvd of xenosaga I cutscenes…

          It was the height of long cutscene JRPGs.

          But I recommend them wholeheartedly. Don’t expect super involved gameplay mechanics, but a solid turn based JRPG with lengthy cutscenes.

          Also be sure not to skip out on Xenogears.

    Emotional recommendation of the year: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of the Sky.

    It’s almost upsetting having a 2009 pixel game have more emotional charge than a AAA with mocap and voice acting.

    I have a Bazzite home theater PC, running Steam. In fact I never play Steam games on it, it’s mostly Kodi or games from the 80s upto Switch games (Mario Kart) via Emulation Station.

    Plug and play never went anywhere? It’s used to describe usb peripherals that can be plugged into a computer and “just work” with zero setup or configuration. Like almost all modern mice and keyboards.
