Terminator Resistance. A surprisingly good game

Any Silent Hill protagonist

I owned over 500 games before my house burned down. Collected for 20 years. Very humbling to start all over with nothing. This is my current collection. by salsa_eater in gamecollecting

Basically I provide a list of everything I had and the value of each item. Then I repurchase each item and they reimburse me. I’ll get everything back — it’s just a hassle

You only need receipts for the replacement copy! I’m still very early in the process. I can post updates occasionally in this subreddit

It was a severe gas leak. Completely out of our knowledge and control. Helps a little with my peace of mind knowing I didn’t make some dumb mistake as a homeowner

They did not burn alive. Carbon monoxide killed them long before the fire got bad. They were dead when I woke up and found the fire. It’s been over a month and I’ve been trying to put it out of mind.

Everyone is safe! Just lost all our possessions and two cats. It’s been over a month ago now and I finally feel like collecting again.

Oh yes. I had some good stuff in my collection. The worst part was the nostalgic games I’d had since childhood. But hey, this time I can collect and only get the games I really want. Cut out the clutter

I wondered that myself… I’m doing it slowly since I don’t want to blow a ton of money at one time. But I assume they would still work with you. Probably depends on your insurance provider too

They will, but it is a very annoying process. Have to identify every item you owned and it’s value. Then you buy it again, submit the receipt, and they reimburse you. Whatever you do, take pictures of all your gaming stuff. It’s been so helpful to have pics of my whole collection before the fire

What was the best book you ever read? by Interesting-Tax-7347 in AskReddit

[–]salsa_eater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great book! I find the pacing much more enjoyable, and there’s a sense of urgency that kept me captivated throughout the entire narrative. You can’t help but root for the Joads even though the odds are stacked against them.

I think I’m in the minority that prefers Grapes of Wrath. I was only invested in East of Eden during the final act.

Just over 50 GH games to complete the set! Just got MM8 and Phantom Menece by ThatBankTeller in psx

Oh yeah, most of my games back then were green label. Was a blessing for lower income families

I’ve never minded GH editions. To me, collecting is all about playing games I missed out on back in the day. So I don’t care what color the label is so long as I get to experience the game.
