- DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
- No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
- No antinatalism struggle sessions

You can tell Banjo Kazooie is a timeless game because my kids just want me to go to the swamp level and turn into a crocodile, which is exactly what I did in the game when it first came out
I'm hoping I can keep one of my CRTs operational a few more years while my kid grows up. I really, really want to play N64 games with her.
That would be a dream. I think i need to get lucky at a market or something because everyone selling them on marketplace knows what people want them for.
Since kids seem to like older aesthetic thing and more analogue stuff, especially electronics, I bet kids later will think its really cool they have this stuff rather than seeing it as their parent's nerdy hobbies
I should really bust out the N64 and play some games on the TV. I have a nice signal converter box and Nintendo to SCART connector that should make the N64 look very crips on our modern TV.
We've got some original hardware kicking around i could make work. We have an AV receiver from when things were still transitioning away from the old rca inputs. But I'd also love to just get an old computer or RPi equivalent and put batocera or something on it for the kids when they're a bit older
