Justin11 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 @killamch89 has the highest number of messages here at VGR, close little shy away from hitting 20k posts. I wouldn't compete with him, if he stays on, i bet him to have more messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all has to do with the Law of Supply and Demand in business. The ones you're referring to are consoles like the Atari 2600 and NES that are still sealed, CIB, and in literally perfect condition. No dings, no scuffs, no tears in either the box or the plastic wrap. As pristine as it was when it shipped out from the factory. Like I said I have an NES that is CIB including all the manuals and the styrofoam. But the box is rough as hell. I could get its retail price or maybe a little more for it now. Somewhere in the $150-$200 range. You have to be an EXTREMELY wealthy collector for the perfect ones. We're talking the high millions to billions in your bank account if you want these pristine collectables.

I absolutely agree. I buy and play what I like. That's what I think everyone should be doing. Don't worry about what someone else has. Whether you have 3 games and they have 3,000 games is nothing important, and should never matter. As long as you enjoy those 3, then you're probably ahead of the one with the thousands. Typically because they most likely have a lot that just collect dust because they just don't get to them and/or lost interest in them. It's usually due to burnout from beating it several times. And I'm no exception. I have several classics that I absolutely love, but haven't played in years because I beat them too often and completely burned out on them.

He's here almost every day, and always chips in. I for one have gotten to enjoy reading his posts, as he always has something of real quality to contribute. killamch89 and Justin11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about being active and contributing, and that is not summed up by how many posts you've made. To be fair to @killamch89, he is a very valued contributor who posts in quality as well as quantity, and that's what we like.

I agree what does it even matter how many posts you have, i rather do 2-3 posts a day that add something or may be meaningfull instead of posting 30+ posts a day that add next to nothing to the community. But who am i to judge, this has already been discussed before so no need to carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been here since 2019, it's why I have racked up so many 😉. I also joined the site in 2019. However, I was largely absent from the site until recently.

Notice it too, anytime he's around here, his presence is felt, because he posts a lot and majority of them are top notch. I know it isn't about competition, but I must applaud someone who is eager to bring quality here every time he's around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head_Hunter Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I don't care most of the time about how many posts I make here, I keep making them provided I have the drive to put more of the posts xD. Seeing myself around 6000+ posts, seems like a joke, because i never expected to hit it so quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I know more posts doesn't mean quality, I love seeing my posts numbers going up, not that I'm spamming, I love to say my mind, and contribute the best way possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the community and I enjoy interacting with you guys so I'll post when I can.

It's just like my Nintendo Switch is my favorite handheld right now, I can't pick another ahead of it just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is absolutely why you will always remain my favorite person around here. That level of acceptance that people are different and unique in their own way of contribution sets you apart from the crowd. Never you change my friend.

Justin11 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 My android is my favourite handheld device at the moment, I use it to play different racing game options, including arcade games too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I don't have a Nintendo switch, nor PSP nor PS Vita, I use my smart phone as my handheld device is just cool for me when it comes to playing some arcade and soccer games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
