15 year old kid says he's been collecting retro consoles since he was 9 and now the parents tell him he has to sell off his collection because he's spending too much of his money on said retro consoles. Funny because it's their money that they used to purchase these consoles to begin with. Starts a post about his dilemma almost two weeks ago, which includes a fairly well organized photo of all his consoles and states he needs time to get his act together and organize his goods so he can make sales posts about them. Still nothing to this day claiming school is taking too much of his time.

Also cracks jokes about his dog pissing in the snow and having it taste like lemons.

Everyone needs hobbies. Maybe ice fishing is right up your alley?

My heart always breaks for anybody who gives up this hobby. It might be wallet busting, but I find extreme joy in collecting. The research phase in particular is enjoyable - digesting years worth of fan wanking and writing. It's great. Spending hours organizing your stuff for display. And that's on top of actually getting to play with these toys you've accumulated.

God speed man, hopefully your newly fat wallet will serve you well.

Thank you!

Of course, this is kinda like a small bump. I'll be collecting again soon enough!

I would have been laughing so hard, while being pissed off.
