I’ve adopted a new family of #retrogaming goodness in my collection: #SEGA #Genesis.

I missed the cartridge gaming of mid 1980s through 1990s, and after a lot of game tryouts in emulation, I kept coming back to Genesis titles as favourites. 🥰

So I decided that this would be the original console and games to collect from that period. I don’t plan on having a lot of games, just enough to cover some genres and play my favourites.

But of course, a first response should be about the money burden you pose in existing. Someone in business with private interests has to compare you to dollars and decide if your life should be continued:

“In some cases, he said, insurers’ reluctance to cover the surgery or to pay for travel to transfer patients has led to delays.”

When #COVID19 destroys your lungs beyond repair, just maybe, the last chance at survival is a transplant.

To have to go to that level of chance and extremes says something about the virus and this pandemic: it’s serious shit capable of serious permanent repercussions for many. Let none doubt its threat to human life.

Or harder: Not use cloud services, game console games, content services nor mobile phones.

It all depends on what conveniences you’re willing to give up.

DS9 is my favourite Star Trek. Avery Brooks is amazing in his role. René Auberjonois is also fantastic. So sorry we lost him. ❤️ #StarTrek
