For me it’s driving while under the influence. If you couldn’t tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can’t fathom. I’ve only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

    Price gouging and “grading” of retro games. I just wanna play some old NES games without taking out a second mortgage.

      Same here. I hate how it has become some sort of investment to people that want to sell for profit.

      If you don’t care about owning physical copies of the games, you should look into an Everdrive. It’s a special cartridge that lets you play downloaded ROMs on your original NES.

        I’ve gotten to the point that I’m buying things like BennVenn’s MBC3000 and BucketMouse’s Nintendo NES Cartridge Circuit Board just so I can enjoy physical media again.

      The problem send to be in the interface of software and hardware. It is cheap to play an NES game on an emulator, but the actual equipment storing the data has an intrinsic value.
