Alt text: Yeah yeah, there's always exceptions, I mean look no further than the game in the 2nd panel, not the most thrilling gameplay, is it?

    Do you know how goddamn cheap an old console can be? It’s insane value for money for entertainment. You do not have to buy the latest console. I played Star Wars Racer for hours the other day with my nephew, on the old Nintendo 64 in my games cupboard, gathering dust but still working perfectly.

          Of course you can buy a 15 year old console for $50 or something like this. But will it run any modern games? Obviously no.

          I can also probably buy a 15 year old PC for the same price, install Linux and use it as a daily driver and maybe even run some modern Indie games.

          So really not sure what’s your point in this discussion when you change the starting point…
