Defeat the FOMO that lives inside you. Be less anxious about what you could have and more cognizant of what you already do.
Nothing is stopping you from playing twenty year old video games
You might find out you extract a lot of joy from twenty year old video games that you don't get from new ones
You should try out some twenty year old video games
damn some really good ass games are 20(+) years old now. F-Zero GX? Gran Turismo 3? Wind Waker? Crazy Taxi? OG Animal Crossing? Ace Combat 4? Lots of other shit that is super good but I don't play?
Like these are basically modern video games, all the modern comforts you need and none of the other crap. So many good video game.
There's some nice linux and Android based retro handhelds that can handle Dreamcast/Gamecube/PS2 nicely now so it's even more convenient nowadays!
I still replay Sonic Adventure 2 BATTLE sometimes
Sonic came to the Gamecube 23 years ago now 💀
