My parents have never had much money (i'm the youngest of 5 kids, and only my mum works a pretty crappy job), so when i was younger we never got much (example; one year, as a joint present for me and my brother, for both our birthdays+christmas presents, they chipped in half the money for an N64. I dont know how much this was at the time, but y'know. The thing is, we loved it!)

And then growing up, when all my siblings have eventually left home, I knew I could never get that much (dad never worked...), so I never asked for much or got my hopes up. If i asked for money I got around £15, which isnt alot compared to most in this thread, but I guess you live to your means.

So yeah, I never get randomly given cool gifts, or get anything expensive like new computers, or whatever for special occasions, but I still have everything I want, I just save up for it myself. And I like to think, having worked for it, I enjoy it that little bit more.

My parents have never been the wealthiest, but they've always pulled strings for me and my siblings in the past.

The last big thing I got from mi madre y padre was my first car. 'Twas an old, rusty Subaru Empreza, with faded paint and fiber glass covering the holes (The car was from PA, where there was a law against holes in the body). But boy, was I excited at the time!

Kinda OT but why do you keep inserting spanish words on your posts?

One day I was playing Paper Mario 2. Breaked for dinner while doing the Pit of trials. Went to check something in my room and saw a box wrapped in newspaper. I asked my parents what it was and they said open it. Within was a my Wii. I turned off my GC and started setting it up.

I got my PC as a birthday/graduation present.

A 4 gig mp3 player back in grade 8. Back then, 4 gigs used to be around 200 bucks. They also bought me a gameboy color when I was in grade 4.


The Mp3 player was a Christmas gift. I never received anything from my parents.

My mom (I love her to death) always tries to beat me with discipline, but then always rewards me for weird reasons. If I help her move a table, maybe she'll buy me a game for the PS3. Clean the house? A kiss. I really don't get it. Anyway... I helped her my cleaning the basement and she went ahead and made the promise of getting me Super Mario Galaxy 2. I frickin' love her so much!

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ah it's all animated I was hoping for some live action
