Date: April 9th, 2026 7:46 AM Author: cowgod They won’t shut up about it. Look at how horrible the Countertops and Cars were in 1992. Many of the Cars basically couldn’t go at today’s highway speeds. And forget about Zelda. You could’ve bought Earthworm Jim for $60 in 1994.
One thing though, you used to be able to rent games, or get them used for cheap af. Digital games go on sale but they aren’t at the mercy of supply and demand like physical.
Also Nintendo/sony used to mark the old/good games price down. Players choice etc.
Good Games have gotten much cheaper if anything. Bad Games that are also Nintendo? Imagine if Prime 4 were $80 lol. Bad western games still get marked down for $5 or whatever. |

Date: April 9th, 2026 10:07 AM Author: cowgod Why tf did we stop Shaming Gamers? It’s like we reached a tipping point. Adult males get less shit for gaming (except for general Idleness from their wives) than they did as kids. I used to loathe having JRPGs in plain site bc if some Scumjock ever saw my play clock I would never live it down…. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5855320&forum_id=2#49806221) |

Date: April 9th, 2026 11:35 AM Author: Woah Cr friend! Yeah but wages stayed the same for many poors they certainly didn't double (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5855320&forum_id=2#49806393) |

Date: April 9th, 2026 11:45 AM Author: cowgod They doubled nominally since like the mid-90s if not more. Prole jobs paid like $4.75/hr in the late 90s. $20 is nothing now even for prole gas station LLC or whatever. This is not an are reptile exaggeration or VHCOL bs.

Date: April 9th, 2026 11:51 AM Author: The Absolute State of the Strait ( ) 2 proles in a "household" make like 90K now. in the 90s 50000k was considered a "good salary". (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5855320&forum_id=2#49806404) |

Date: April 9th, 2026 11:53 AM Author: cowgod 50000k was fucking SOLID in the 90s.
During ITE on jdu Gen Xers started saying “50k” instead of 180 or blank bump to show Approval bc it was such an Elusive and sought-after Income. NOT FLAME. |
