i'm back to work on this one and while The Ocean isn't a museum per se it is absolutely A Place Where the Past Lives

gotta be some stories there

all the other kids with a knock off NES
havin fun, havin fun
playin on my bootleg 🎵

*song makes it to 2:11* christ this is boring. i wonder if there's any pussy on my phone *deadly explosion*

oooeeeuhhhhoooo mister fancy pants over here with the Sony Trinitron 32 Inches. look pal - some of us can't afford to live the high life. video games are for everybody, not just the well-to-do. i think your privilege is showing; us plebians have to make do with our dad's Curtis Mathis

*fashioning shiv out of toilet paper carefully molded over the course of months* it was a fucking flatscreen! an LCD!! or LED. OLED? look, it looked like shit, even with the filters on. but instead of stopping, they just kept playing! like they didn't care it wasn't on a CRT!! hold still gotta stab

*spitting blood in the drunk tank* well, first of all, they weren't playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1 ver.) on a CRT, which is something i did back in the day, and they refused to acknowledge it. they just kept carrying on like i wasn't there, or that i didn't do it 1st, or even at all

*busts into a steamer's bedroom with a sledge* hey, I played mario games before you did. i did what you're doing first. on a CRT.

*wedging foot into door as you try to slam it* look i'm sorry but that's the way things are - you are playing games in a shitty way, ergo your opinions are tainted and inherently lacking. just please acknowledge that i go out of my way to play games on old hardware and that's very cool. me. i'm cool

me?? oh i'm Gaming twenty-four-seven. on a CRT. that's japanese for "old heavy television." and it IS superior, thank you; it took a lot of effort to inherit this device from a dead relative or pay out the nose for the privilege of hauling it out of a weird stranger's house. i should get an award

*deep languorous sigh* all these moron children, not playing my favorite playedstationed game on CRT, cathode ray tube, televisor entertainment device. when they make their "YouTubes" and Medium posts about how cool Cloud Strife is, please be assured - they played it in less than optimal conditions
