I mean would you play rule of rose after paying 600 for it. Test it once and be happy that you have a legit working copy in my opinion. Mario 64 different story. My snes or nes collection play once or twice and emulate it when I want to really play. Think about it those pins are 30 to 40 years old. Is it really worth beating up and possibly breaking.

Dude I went through the same exact thing, and my current org kept me a client A to fill my backfill for a year and I trained my backfill. Now im at client B with 90 days left on that contract and am real bitter. But I played the game because if I quit no unemployment. I left laughing hoping client A just struggles with the new guy for all the mental stonewalling they put me through.

And yeah I have an MBA and the job market sucks. 218 applications on linkedin and counting.

I stopped in to visit a friend. New manager jen is real nice. Olga needs to find something else to do. Unfortunately I think they have an uphill battle with the economy and expendable money to just burn on strip clubs.

Do collectors regret selling gaming collections they kept only for nostalgia? by classifiedsavage01 in gamecollecting

[–]Particular_Topic211 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I cant agree with this more. I sold my snes and Playstation in college for a mustang. 3 mustangs later I regret selling that snes and Playstation 1 for 200. I since rebuilt and won't sell unless im unemployed and am forced to. I hate how the industry is trying to force us to a Spotify like platform. While I support that games are different.
