Broke as a nigger in high school, so I only ever bought old used console games. Years later, retro game collectors came out of the woodwork and prices went up. Never got into modern games and grew out of playing them.
In this way, I am a faggot hipster collecting retro games before it was cool.
Who else here was a faggot hipster by choice or by chance?
I've played Magic: the Gathering since 1994, long before it became the popular piece of shit dumpster fire that it is now.
As for retro games, I grew up on Atari and Colecovision, and I've always liked those games. I fell out of console gaming when the PS2 came out. Golden age was SNES/PS1 you're wrong if you think otherwise.
I started playing EverQuest in 2002, long before every goddamn game had online bullshit.
I've been into comics since 1992, before the popularity of the MCU AND other dumb comic movies, but let's face it, the people into that crap don't read the comics anyway. They're dead in the water at this point.
I was new kid in school in 8th grade. Bored in an assembly, I asked the kd next to me if he wanted to play a game called Odds and Evens. It was a game we played at my previous school.
Each person spins a quarter and then slaps their hand over it. Some calls Odds or Evens. If the two coins are both heads or both tails it's even. If one coin is tails and one is heads, it's Odds. I walked away from that assembly with a buck fifty and some new friends.
Within three months, kids were getting detention or suspended. The school had to institute a NeW PoLiCy AgAiNsT GaMbLinG.
The next year when I was a freshman in high school, on the first day, there were dudes playing Odds and Evens and shooting dice in the bathrooms.
On the second day there was an orientation assembly for freshman. One of the first things they mentioned was their zero tolerance policy for no gambling.
