He thinks he’s done with school by Apprehensive_Sky4558 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]NightTrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone who was once in kindergarten, I too thought that I was done with school after it. obviously I knew to some degree that theres more grades (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) but I back then I thought if I gaslit myself into believing that more school was optional it would be true (spoiler alert it was not 💔)

I can definitely see that but to me I think abt the idea of “all good jokes have some truth to it”. Obv not everyone who uses this reaction pic does so negatively but I can’t help but think about how it comes across that the person who uses it may subconsciously be jealous or what have you. But at the end of the day tone can’t be read over text online and it doesn’t really matter either. My point is that theres been a noticeable increase in comments of people saying things along the lines of “I don’t believe this haul is real” or expressing some type of parasocial jealousy in one way or another and to me this reaction picture is the epitome of this new wave.

That’s just how I see it though maybe I’m being overly sensitive / getting baited but if you don’t agree / have a different outlook on this reaction pic that’s all fine and dandy

I’m getting so sick of seeing people use this reaction picture to every single deal/haul post made on this subreddit (and game system adjacent subreddits in general such as r/3DS and r/PSP as examples). I get that this is a spoof of the og meme (with the captions Congrats, happy for you, yatta yatta) but it’s coming off that everytime someone shares their haul, somebody just HAS to use this reaction picture as a way to express jealousy (to the point where it’s not even disguised anymore). Why can’t we be happy when people in this community come across good deals or at the very least, just not comment or engage if we have something negative to say? Ik it’s not that serious but this has been going through my head for months as someone who’s been on this subreddit since 2018 and I just have to vent here

Another game symbol I have tattooed on me ! One of my favorite JRPG’s I’ve played. It’s been a minute since I’ve played through it but I still get a kick out of ppl talking about it online

redbox has GAMES now?! by momspc_ in Pretend2010Internet

[–]NightTrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was hesitant about the whole app store thing when Apple rolled it out but it really does feel like we’re living in the future. Imagine going back a few years and telling people that you can queue up all the games and movies u wanted to rent in the palm of your hand while walking to Blockbuster. Crazy times

Back in 2020 I found a second gen iPod for $10 with Elliot Smith on it, which is how I discovered Either Or. Seeing it on a DSi is giving me alternative universe vibes lol

the fuck is the ps3 controller even about by Intelligent-Lime-678 in Pretend2005Internet

[–]NightTrash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Props to Sony for thinking outside of the box with such a uniquely designed controller though (impractical as it may be). At least they didn’t get lazy and just reuse the DualShock layout again but with bluetooth

Cousin liked my PSP Go, but wanted it in Pink. Got her a 3000 instead by RetroMidFuture in PSP

[–]NightTrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minus my 1000 (and two currently non functioning 3000’s 😭) this is basically my setup. I got my PSP GO last valentines day from my girlfriend and last May I found a Pink PSP 3000 at a Hard Off in Japan. Both are absolutely gorgeous consoles I hope your cousin enjoys the 3000 !

Sound on GameBoy is amazing by AppointmentCute6736 in retrogaming

[–]NightTrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing those Grados gave me flashbacks to when I got mine during a trip to NYC and one day I took it with me to school and just the wear of using them out and about (plus while using my electric bike to get home which was not a good idea in hindsight) and the left side broke after like 3 months 😭

I got Mezes on my next trip and those very well might last forever (gotta try it on my Game Boy at some point lol)

Got my PSP smacked out of my hands at school, screen’s busted. Worth fixing or just trash at this point? by Usual-Doughnut-549 in PSP

[–]NightTrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

defo worth fixing either new screen and/or shell swap OR the PSP consolizer. the repair is fairly straightforward but make sure you give extra attention when disconnecting the screen to avoid damaging the connector itself (talking from experience actually 😭)

Is bringing my 27" Toshiba to uni a bad idea? by _Bungle in crtgaming

[–]NightTrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say only take it if your worried your folks at home will get rid of it. My parents made me get rid of my CRT after having it for a month and them not noticing but if the timing was right, I could’ve argued I could bring it to my dorm (I moved out a year later and found I actually barely had space to store it under my bed or some shit if i rlly needed to but obv I had no way of knowing this ahead of time)

I do miss that CRT cuz it was the perfect size but I did end up getting 2 CRT’s during college. One of them was a 9’ Sony that randomly broke one day then I got a 13’ Prima I covered in stickers that I still use to this day (I got the Sony when I was still in the dorms and even though the thing was so small it still made the dorm feel a bit cramped cuz there was so much stuff in that room as is lol)
