You’re comparing apples and oranges. The question was not “what is the best way to invest $200?” It was, “is it worth it to keep an already owned item for increased value at a later date?” And the answer to that really depends on OP’s opinion on wether or not an increase of 2-300% is enough to justify holding onto it.
I guarantee that 10-20 years down the line, it will be far more valuable as a collector’s item. Just look at any limited edition Zelda console released. The Majora’s Mask 3ds is going for $400-$600 right now. I say you should definitely keep it, even if you don’t have much sentimental value for it.
Articles of Impeachment should be drawn up for Hegseth and Trump immediately. This is beyond unacceptable.
Emotional venting is understandable, but please try to be more responsible with it. Saying things like that can very quickly rile up others and spiral. As harmful as the US has been lately, the last thing any of us need is for that hate to spread other places. Most people in the US agree with you that what has been happening is unacceptable.
That is an extreme generalization to group all US citizens under and advocate for collective punishment. This is the same type of rhetoric used by Trump, and using it is disgraceful.

Rockstar is a disgusting company. I wish everyone would see them for the filth they are rather than blindly guzzling GTA VI hype. More than ever in their history, their game deserves to fail. But unfortunately, too many people will hold their nose and ensure it’s a giant success.

I think it’s just the fall of the industry as we know it. I don’t think gaming is going away anytime soon. But I do think we are about to see a very different industry in a few years. It probably won’t look like it ever really has before. A massive indie space, with sparse few AAA titles.

Ed Sheeran chose to be a spineless weiner and cave to the billionaires. He had enough power to push back and chose not to.
There is literally a Gamecube controller for Switch 2. Out of all the controllers from that generation, the GC is the only one that still has a modern presence. That controller still rocks.
That is factually incorrect. At the time it released, only the PS2 and Dreamcast were out and the Gamecube is significantly more powerful than a PS2 or Dreamcast. The Xbox didn’t release until a year later. So actually at release the Gamecube was the most powerful console on the market. And I would personally take a GC controller over a dualshock or og Xbox controller any day.

So if someone has a large platform, they shouldn’t advocate for ending a genocide? Clearly you’ve never paid attention to music in your life. So much music is deeply political. Entire bands are strictly political. You sound like one of those MAGA supporters that’s surprised when they find out RATM hates cops. Acting like musicians should stay out of politics is a fucking absurd take. Even this event of Macklemore being censored is a highly political moment. That being said, fuck Roger Waters for backing one genocide while decrying another. And fuck Ed Sheeran for having no spine.
I’d like to highlight the Gameboy player as well as the ability to connect a GBA to it for certain games. Nintendo at this time was really trying out a lot of interesting and unique ideas.
There are so many great games on it, and it was the birthplace of several fantastic series that are still going strong today. Some of my favorite games for the system include: Pikmin 1 and 2, Zelda WW and TP, Super Mario Sunshine, Kirby Air Rider, Luigi’s Mansion, Metroid Prime 1 and 2, Animal Crossing, Starfox Adventures and Assault, Star Wars Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike, Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2, and finally Soul Calibur 2. What an absolute fucking banger of a system.
Right, but it’s not just a spreadsheet descision. Kojima’s name carries immense weight and is one of the biggest in the industry. Just having him attached to your brand sells systems. The last time a company backstabbed him like this, they spent a decade making nothing but Pachinko and sports games.
Sony cutting him out is gonna be a lot more damaging to them than breaking even on a niche project. And let’s not forget that Physint won’t be nearly as niche as Death Stranding. It’s his return to the genre that made him famous.
That might have contributed, but from what I have seen it basically broke even from it’s sales. If they haven’t lost money, this descision makes no sense. Kojima is basically Playstation royalty and his name carries so much weight in the industry. Especially since they were championing Physint as his triumphant return to the action espionage genre. I’ve never played one of his games and even I knew immediately this was a collosal fuck up on their part.
Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask were pretty foundational for me. I think the fact that playing an instrument was a central game mechanic was a big part of that.
Others that come to mind would be gens 1-3 of Pokémon. Pretty much every track in all of these games are iconic.
