I wish I had a retro handheld enthusiast friend IRL (lemmy.ml)

I really wish I had an IRL friend that was into retro handhelds just like I am.

We could sit on the couch, hang out and play and show off our games and devices to eachother. Show how we've progressed in our games. Infodump about the weirdest facts related to Gameboys, DSs, emulator handhelds and so on.

But, I don't have any IRL friends who are at all interested in this stuff.

I'm sad :(

Be careful out there.

My ex claimed to be super into retro gaming and I even spent while putting together a nice setup so she, and me, could play on the couch like in the TV show Home & Away.

But it was all lies. All she was interested in was sex, drugs, rock & roll, and Netflix shows about complete wankers.

Thankfully her son smashed up his ps4 in a ragequit and then spent several months addicted to old retro games until he got a new one.

Is this a romcom plot?

The marketing department said it was but I'm not so sure.
