I don't get why you're angry with the people on the same side of the fight as you.
The no box and no manual postings drive me mad. Firstly, I kept all of that stuff because it's fun to look at and reread the manual after years of not touching it, so it just boggles me that so many people immediately threw those things away and slipped the disc into a sleeve. But secondly, how are you going to sit there and tell me your loose, scratched up, sugar encrusted copy of Armored Core is worth over $100?
I'll let them know
A lot of people have mentioned this, so I've been looking into it. How easy would it be to do these mods myself?
The difference is personal preference and values
The issue with our retro stores is that they look up prices on eBay to set their prices and the first result when looking up Symphony of the Night is $150, so their price is $125 to be "cheaper" than the market price.
That's what I'm talking about!
I know that emulation is good for preservation and accessibility and I am all for it. My preference for physical media comes from wanting to support the mom and pop local stores and, while convenient, I don't like to have everything stored on a hard drive. All of the consoles I own work perfectly fine and I think it would be a waste for them to rot away in a landfill. Or worse yet, to gather dust on a shelf, unused as some collectors item to be shown off like a taxidermied elk.
Too many people are afraid of dying
Welcome to the party, pal
Step right up
Abstained from voting? It's totally fair to be upset with people who abstained from voting, they aren't taking part in the democracy. However, I feel like there is this belief to assume that just because someone didn't vote for the two major parties, they didn't vote at all. This belief only perpetuates the "throwing away your vote" idea that has made the Democratic and Republican parties comfortable enough to be for their own interests rather than the interests of all. I can't be upset with anyone who voted for Democrat, Republican, or third party because they took part in the democracy.
