I was just thinking about how this is likely my life going forward. The last tech I bought was a first round preorder steamdeck which was a lot longer ago than I want to think about. If I need a phone I buy 5 year old refurb flagships instead of the overpriced disposable “budget” slop they make these days. New hardware is now a luxury item for the petite bourgeois so they can make slop to satiate the poor. AI has sucked up both more money and physical resources than it would have taken to globally eliminate poverty.
No thank you. I’d rather live off grid in the woods with some solar panels so I can emulate every game from the last 40 years. More than a lifetime of games. I don’t need anything new.
Recently I’ve taken to modding consoles. Turns out a 360 can play every game made for the entire original Xbox line as well as its own and that’s not mentioning emulating older things like the n64 and it’s predecessors. Between that and a modded ps4, you’ll never run out of games to play.

After that, it’s 3d printing every board game.
