I say HELL NO

Now hear me out:

Games that came out after the year 2000

Ayanami Raising Project 2001
Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire 2002
Crysis 2007
Cory in the House DS 2008
Skyrim 2011-2022
Chex Quest HD 2020
Waifu Uncovered 2020

We would be losing all of these masterpieces and more

and what do we gain by going back to the year 2000? Tragedies like 9/11 and the election of George W Bush for another term

Yeah I think I'll take my present dystopia over that any day

And you???

Well, before the nds (2004), the province of Quebec wasn't recognized yet as a french territory in video games industry
That means we had american versions for pretty much every single games
When i was 4, i wasn't able to read yet, so when i played nes, i asked mom to tell what characters were saying
When i learned how to read, around 14 (kidding ofc), she bought me a french-english dictionnary

So, that's how i learned english :)
Nowaday, childs in quebec learn english through vod such as netflix and prime video

I think it's worse but I think worsening in one country is contagious when it turns political, so it's hard to blame anything more than pure RNG, especially when you factor in that better is subjective to what you think, and I've never come back from the overwhelming low I felt when I found out Kayne wasn't going to be the president. Crushing. Like a Bowser being thrown away, receiving a "So long..." and a bomb to the face. Real deep stuff.

Worse? So you would rather go back to your cold stale reality without cory in the house DS?

1989 - Disintegration - The Cure

As a child I told myself that if Super Mario Bros. 3 was the only game I was ever able to play, I'd be fine with that. I don't think that would've changed, however, my stale reality doesn't reach that far back :^)

My cousin had a snes and he kept the box.
It wasn't sealed, but apparently, at the pawn shop, it lifted the price of his snes from 60$ to like 100$
It was several years agothough, idk how much it would be worth today

One of the ppl I used to converse with on twitter had their location set to "he11ho1e, USA"

So.. yeah. I kow nothing about the "gun country", but that sounds bad.
They also said they were homeless once.. And they are probably early thirties at best..

Not very promising


So you either are a weeb or prefer the PAL region?
W-eeb ? :unsure:
i think about all the games and consoles ive had and just lost over the years. id be pretty well off today if i had taken care of them. now im sad.
Don't be.
You earn your wealth like normal morally well adjusted ppl.
That's the admirable way.
