How are retrophiles so toxic
| Gatekeeping?
| who?
| never heard of these peeps
| Sounds like you're fucking around in the wrong communities homies.
| I agree, simply be toxic to them too...
toxicity problem solved "^^
| >>686138 fuck them.
I'm a retro passionate but if it's not worth it and overpriced I don't even bother with it an I live. These fuckers should die.
| If there only there were accessible ways to get the original console with original games
| >>686257 Mister is trying to achieve this but then many in that community go against it with original controllers and analogue video and wanting cartridge adapters. Full of fucking elitist dinosaurs
| emulators are based pieces of softare.
i'm waiting for the day you can run old consoles on sort of virtual machines thingies
| >>686067 sounds like OP stumbled upon a group of retro hardware lovers and complained "why can't I use emulator" no? never heard the term retrophile
| >>686442 I'm using software emulation, fpga emulation and original hardware, they are all interesting. Try retronauts? It's not issue with the hobby itself but with the people who surround it
| >>686487 so what are retrophiles anyway. when someone use the term 'toxic' I'm gonna take it with a shaker of salt. I mean people call the hollow knight lore community toxic for hating matpat's sloppy for-entertainment-purposes "theory". I'm just gonna guess that some "retrophile" dude bought a gold NWC cartridge for $1 million and gets angry because no one can relate.
| The point is just to feel superior. It's not like it's uncommon on the internet, it has always been like that. You could say the same about the linux or apple extremists, the grammar nazis, etc.
| Game disc/cartridge takes so much space and require cleaning. I much prefer digital. If the platform dies in the future, there's always piracy.
| I personally only care about CD's, DVD's since they're easy to backup. Don't care about bluray because it is futureproof.

| All of them, Mister, analogue, kirrkz, all of these communities are so toxic. Even Warhammer 40k fanatics don't shout heresy this often
