Will it allow me to relive the TACTILE feelings of being 10 years old circa 2002? Back when trying to decide between GameCube PS2 Dreamcast or Xbox was the only “stress,” or whether to perhaps take the Wild Card Option of fighting with my older sister for who got to use the family PC to play The Sims after school, the Idyllic Days of Our Poast-Modern Lives…

I never knew anyone who had a Dreamcast back in the day. In fact, I don’t think I even knew it existed until reading about it online many years later

I was one of the few people I knew who had one, which was so odd in retrospect because I grew up in an UMC SoCal environment circa Y2K where money wasn't the deciding factor, but quite literally a lack of awareness that the product existed in this case.

Nintendo was everywhere, Playstation was everywhere, the first Xbox (and the 360 IIRC) had a huge marketing push, but I only heard of Dreamcast when one of those cozy turn of the 21st century general hi tech lifestyle stores - "The Good Guys" (all credit to Google Search AI for refreshing my memory) located on the first story of a multistory building below Tower Records on South Lake Avenue in Pasadena, I can remember it vividly like it was only yesterday - had one set up as a demo display right around the time it came out.

My dad was a rich generous prep who didn't seem to mind that his only son (me, future Autoadmit poaster) was a born loser, because all my sisters loved playing video games and computer games, too, and I always had at least one best friend and a polite presentable girlfriend growing up, so he always bought whatever we asked for in terms of nerdy hobby stuff (usually just video games and computer games - also my mom probably saved my bacon by refusing to buy Magic cards / Pokemon cards etc. or any comic books besides Calvin and Hobbes)

Sorry for the stream of consciousness poast but it's just great to see you in this context, stumbling across a random subthread effort poast that you enjoyed, and bringing back so many wonderful memories of the good old days (circa 2021/2022?)

In conclusion:

I'm gay.
