I know it's not needed, but there's something honestly pretty fun about ripping your own game discs and playing them that way! Lol Something about it provides this unique experience that I didn't know I'd enjoy so much!

Btw it doesn't mean that I'm going to stop collecting physical retro games, I still love the stuff! But I think I just need to have a different perspective on it. With time comes age, and in time things can break. So I like having the physical things just as fun way of having a physical thing.

I do enjoy physical media! But I'm always reminded about how it doesn't feel like the most reliable way to play games for me. It's become more of an extra way for me to have fun playing my retro games instead. Anyway I might mod the thing to have an ode or something in the future!

I say original game discs since it can read burned discs just fine! I mean, maybe I could try making a backup and of Skies of Arcadia and play it that way, but it reminds me again that playing retro games through traditional means isn't very reliable! These consoles are very old after all.

So last night before I went to sleep for work tomorrow! I decided to try out my Dreamcast, to see if Skies of Arcadia would work! I thought it would be fun to play the original disc on stream at some point unfortunately, my Dreamcast is unable to read Original Game discs.

I am still bummed out about the stream dying out last night! I just didn't have the energy go live today. But I still wanted to try my best at something. So I made progress on leveling on Earthbound! So now the story continues when I go live again.

Paula is level 30 now. Decided to do some grinding tonight to get her to that level. I know, I was doing this on stream, but I felt it would have been better to just do it offline. But now, on my next play, I'll be trying to go the Swap!

Probably the most thing I remember about this game is it music, its really nice! Every time I hear that title screen music, it's pure nostalgia. It's honestly one of my most favorite title screen music's.

Came across this on accident! An RPG I played years ago, I have high nostalgia for it. I don't think it's the best RPG but I would love to try it again. I still have my disc, and was thinking I could stream this at some point!

It's time for another Earthbound stream! Stream might be short! I'm just mainly going to focus on grinding!

I'm very interested in retro recently. So I've been wanting to explore more retro games that I never got to play or never beat! There's a lot! Lol so I don't think, I'm going to be able to get to everything, but I think it could be fun to get to them

To be honest, there are a lot of games I've been wanting to get to. There's so much that I haven't played that I've been wanting to make time for. So I've been trying to see if I can make more time to catch up with some the games I'm interested in!
