  • I am sorely lacking in Atari. I would’ve had one if my grandparents hadn’t thrown out my dad’s 2600 when they were cleaning out their attic.

    I’m only a little older than Saturn and PlayStation (based on their Japanese release dates). I get what you mean though. It’s definitely weird when you realize that there are adults that have never experienced the things that were integral aspects of your own childhood. I have cousins who’ve never used a VCR, meanwhile I still have the one our grandfather bought me in the late 90s.



  • I have a large collection of game consoles, with several being older than myself. Just to list the ones that are at least 20 years old:

    • NES
    • PC Engine (Core Grafx II)
    • Game Boy
    • Genesis (Model 2) + Sega CD (Model 2)
    • SNES
    • Game Gear
    • Saturn (Model 2)
    • PlayStation
    • Nintendo 64
    • Game Boy Pocket
    • Game Boy Color
    • Dreamcast
    • WonderSwan Color
    • PlayStation 2
    • Game Boy Advance
    • GameCube
    • Xbox

    I also have some old A/V stuff, like a small collection of CD Walkmans and most of the pieces in my stereo system (the turntable is new, but everything else is pretty old). I buy a lot of old electronics from thrift stores because I really just love playing with them.




  • If you really want to keep your current phone you could use a different ROM. One I know off the top of my head is /e/. I don’t believe it’s quite as hardcore about security as Graphene, but it might be your best option (or at least the cheapest one).

    As for why Graphene only supports Pixels is supposedly because they’re the only phones that support relocking the bootloader.

    Edit: I forgot to mention that /e/ only works on Samsung phones with certain processors, so if your device is from certain regions (such as America) it won’t be compatible.
