It's honestly good advice, but I much prefer original hardware when possible. (lemmy.world)

There’s something relaxing about swapping carts on a SNES.

And booting up an OS, running the emulator, and selecting a save state just ruins the experience of playing a retro console.

Sadly my SNES tends to reset games when jostled, so it's gotten a little less relaxing for me.

Emulators won't do that to you.
