Saison prestige...

Carry on

At Resident right now picking up bottles! Prestige is ******* awesome but the coconut/coffee imperial stout on tap was a real surprise. No crowlers of it available unfortunately, so instead, I’m doming 32oz of Tempered Ego to christen my first round of Earthbound on an adorable snes classic

$24 at B&V.

Only $6 more than at Sante... not bad I suppose.

[SerenityNow]

I grew up with SNES & Genesis, etc, but the nostalgia for this makes as much sense to me as a love to see a comeback for pagers, payphones, and cassette tapes. Once you go PS4 level of graphics, how can you go back? Maybe I’m too much of a graphics snob, but I want Ready Player One kind of gaming, not OG Donkey Kong.

I also grew up with snes (**** genesis, other than nba jam and sonic) but never was a huge gamer after high school, and even then, it was mostly madden and NHL. This is way easier than setting up an actual snes that lives in my garage, the controllers are pretty ****** despite buying new ones every three years and the console has a pretty bad freezing problem. All I want is earthbound, Mario rpg, and secret of mana. FF 3 is a nice touch (would’ve also loved 2) but even that was more than necessary. This is $80 well spent in my book, but I also don’t get much of a hard on for graphics.

The next time you make it down to San Diego, come over!

Also the classic console is for Caleb. He needs an appreciation for the classics.

If anyone here has a line on one let me know, beer and cash available, and at the ready.

LOL! You should have been here a few years ago when I let Andys buddies lose on the classics!

• “Where’s the save?”
• “Where’s the multiplayer?”
• “What’s the point of the game?”
• “What’s happening?”

We let them lose on Atari 2600 and NES. Watching them play T&C was amazing

If you ever want to borrow an snes classic for an extended period of time (i.e. a few months, whatever you want), Caleb is more than welcome to enjoy mine! My brother may have wound up with an NES classic but he’s getting his daughter into video games now, so I don’t think I can get it shipped out here from DC. NES is so overrated, but I’m also pretty sure all the cartridge blowing gave out black lung

I played a lot of mario bros 3 and contra when I was....6? Maybe 7? Video games were definitely too difficult then. Let’s have a triathlon of nes, snes, and beer to celebrate the console rereleases? And watch The Wizard? I bet smithj2154 would be down
