Everyone should have Solatorobo. That makes you immune to my judgment.
I have a sealed copy I bought right away but I didn't get around to playing fast enough and now it's too expensive to open. Luckily I ran into a cart only copy fairly cheap not too long ago.
Currently Playing: Final Fantasy V Pixel Remaster (PC), Let's Build a Zoo (PC) & Despot's Game (PC)
There's no point. Unless you're a new member (ha!), you've been called what you've been called for the better part of a decade. Seems silly to change it now.
I have a ton of guitars, but I don't think of myself as a collector. It's probably possible to have a ton of games that you play and not be a collector too.

It was a way to become the game expert. They're paying 200 and 300 at a time to stay top dog in cage full of mutts.
There are exceptions to the rule here (Melf, perhaps) but I think you're mostly right.
No, definitely, there's a dichotomy to this whole thing. Like, I feel that you have more than paid your dues and are allowed to have that stuff, you know? Like I don't question your intentions or your passion so it doesn't bother me in the slightest that you have a lot of stuff.
This is tremendously douchey. You're kind of deciding, based on some arbitrary shit, who is allowed to share your hobby.
I did that when I started to gather NES stuff again. Partially because I've always preferred CIB, but also because my goal was to play the games. I could take 100 nes carts home and throw them on a shelf and call it a day. But by limiting myself to only what I found outside the store and to only CIB, I acquired stuff slowly enough that I actually played what I bought. Cost me more, but instead of spending $40 on 10 games I wouldn't do anything with I spent $40 on something I enjoyed.
This represents two and a half years of collecting for me:
Every one of these I played and enjoyed back in the day, and I've played them since buying them again. Well, except for NARC and Dick Tracy. Only reasonsI bought those was that they were complete, looked brand new, and was eight bucks for the pair. Figure I can flip them down the road for something on the list.
I'm not a devious man by nature... but when you're unarmed, your tactics might gonna be downright Archimedean.
