I find when we have thousands of roms, it kinda devalues whatever we're playing. With that you'll load a game, and probably load another in less than 5 minutes.
I have a 500GB Nvidia Shield which is basically the most powerful Android box. Never used it either. It's on the backburner.
Then for the hell of it I downloaded torrents of every game for every retro system. On the most part I keep it as digital treasure to entertain people. Sega has the largest library. The idea is to put them on the Shield.
It gets boring really quick. Of them all the only game I enjoy playing is Super Metroid.
MAME for 90's arcade games.
Game Cube, PS2, PS3, Wii, WiiU. Roms for these are too big to collect.
Pikmin is dope.
Wanted to play Link's Awakening so I got Switch emulation running on the PC. I never tried all the Zelda games.
Gaming doesn't feel the same anymore. Maybe it's because of age, or maybe it's because of speedrunners. Yes, because of them it's more enjoyable to watch others play as long as they're freaky good at it. Meanwhile I'm not going to watch entire speedruns.
I like the technologies, the evolution of computer entertainment from the 80's to now, the music. It's art. It doesn't do dopamine like it did before though.
From what I've gathered it's best to stick with the games you like and let the rest go. There's really no time for it and most games are shit, and playing them on a handheld won't make you happy. It'll most likey do the opposite and put you to sleep early. Maybe the main reason emulators aren't as fun, is because more often we'd rarely play with others. On that thing It'll be you vs. the computer every time.
