Video game collecting is the new hotness. I like it right now because you can really pick the level you want to go after. The values go something like this: If the game is worth $25 game only, then maybe $45 with game and manual, then maybe $150 for complete with box (all manuals, inserts, etc), and then maybe $500 factory sealed, and then maybe $1500+ graded. So for anywhere between $25 and $1500, you can collect the version that you are comfortable with, and if open, have a playable game. You can also still hidden gems from Facebook marketplace, garage sales, thrift stores, etc. The one thing you really have to watch out for: there are already a plethora of reproduction cartridge based games. You have to do your research and get a set of video game screwdrivers so you can open them up and check them for the more valuable ones. Also factory sealed games can get mega valuable because for most of the 1980s and 1990s, any unsold games would be shipped back and destroyed, while any sold games were probably opened in the car on the way home or as soon as the wrapping paper was taken off at Christmas. Individual games, being $30-$60 over time were too darn expensive to just "forget" about and keep sealed...and if you ever got doubles from gifts, kids would immediately return for a different game. Things like toys are more common in package because they weren't often returned and destroyed, they weren't expensive enough to always immediately open or exchange, and there was already a collector's market as far back as the 1970s for sealed toys. There just weren't many, if any, people that would spend $30-$60 on a new game as a collectable back then.
I tried every youtube thing on it. Still veers upper left (sorry, my fault on direction) It has to be a somewhat easy fix, right? Otherwise, sure, I could get it modded. I'm not that much of a gamer, but it sucks that the controller pretty much costs as much as the entire system to replace these days.
Honestly probably the same thing technically but it's rampant in the Joycons and I've never seen it in any other controller. There was a recent article that you could just put a piece of paper under the Joycon stick to fix it.
Yeah, that sounds like drift. Here's how they fix it in the Switch controllers: https://www.pcmag.com/news/switch-joy-con-drift-can-be-easily-fixed-using-a-piece-of-paper
The cord ties the room together, KC. If you can manage your cord, @HardenVolumeOne, you might want to consider getting a Roomba for the carpet. It would fit the milieu.
