    Building a Plex server. Spending hundreds on blurays, ripping them, and haven’t watched a single one

    My child-self would have died from pure excitement at the mere prospect of getting their hands on a RPi filled with emulators/games. Now I’m just an old fart and cant appreciate shit anymore.

    Play a game and you’ve played a game once. But prepare for yourself the means of playing games, and you have the potential to play them infinitely.

    That’s why my projects tend to be things that end up being more like art pieces or something I will actually use.

    I’m definitely aware I don’t have enough time for classic video games.

    This is how it always is with tinkerers. We enjoy setting stuff up and tweaking to perfection more than actually ‘using’ it.

    We also spend days writing scripts and programs that will save only hours at best in the span of our entire lifetimes, and feel happy doing it.

    And we’re also the same people who spend about 20 hours messing around with getting the perfect combination of mods on Skyrim without even ‘playing’ a single real minute of the game.
