Yup. That's kind of why I can't quite pull the trigger on the street fighter 30th anniversary edition. I did nothing but struggle playing Street fighter V, but I could at least convince myself it's because I never took the time to learn the subtleties of the game and really get down the moves at just the right moments.
That of course is complete and utter bullshit.
So I'm just going to stick with my memories of Street fighter 2 and the Alpha games. I don't need the pain of knowing I'm nowhere near as good as I used to be.

This is not me. When I rocked up to Street Fighter 4, I still remembered all the moves from Street Fighter 2 and did very well.
The switch 4 buttons as a d-pad is fine for virtually anything except this game. It's like it's kryptonite. How do you do a dragon punch when your only option is to press the down button then right button with nothing in between?
I can try to do a hurricane kick and it fails 9 times out of 10.
And the AI piles in like a sadistic prick. It's like fighting with your hands tied behind your back.
Played some more Strider, much of my nostalgia is from the very first level. These arcade games get to a point where they just want more coins so the fuck you over endlessly at certain points.
If it weren't for the rewind feature I'd get nowhere.
I'm thinking of getting Ghouls and Ghosts for the arcade stadium. I have it for free on Switch online but the rewind feature is so much smoother and easier on the arcade stadium.
Did all the Shakedowns in Shakedown Hawaii. Doesn't take long.
Buying all the properties is almost done. I'd say 8 hrs to beat the story, 2-3 hours more just to do the rest.
One criticism would be the business property section. In screens and video it makes it seem complicated and off putting. Instead it's super simple to the point where it adds nothing to the game. It's not really a criticism as it doesn't impact your enjoyment of the game one jot.
It really is bizarre. I used to listen to the Jim Cornette podcast, a fantastic podcast if you're interested in listening to someone speak very passionately about pro wrestling from the 60s 70s and 80s and say "fuck" a lot. About 6 months ago, he talked about how he and Bret Hart were going to be some of the first wrestling people to release these things. At the time, I thought this was just some niche idea that was going to come and go, but here we are and there's more than ever.
Honestly, I would have to say there's more value in Franklin Mint plates. At least that's a tangible thing, and every time one drops on the floor the others become more valuable.

I spent this weekend fishing and collecting fruit, which I then sold to a raccoon for many bells.
I played a variety of Switch games, but mainly Final Fantasy Adventure.
This heat in January.
Here's everyone's mildly interesting fact of the day. Final Fantasy Adventure was the first Gameboy game I ever bought.
same here. It was 12°C while we watched the new year fireworks.There's still plenty of properties to buy and to Shakedown (force to acquire)
It's good fun, if somewhat repetitive. The story could be better and some more variety in the missions would be cool.
However if you want an instantly accessible arcade 2D GTA you'll like it. Definitely a buy, but in a sale, as I did.
And even set to easiest the AI is merciless.
I used to be a master, now just a punching bag.
Try playing it with a keyboard.

That's just getting older. Happens to all of us

In the form of part of the Collection of Mana...it may be the first GameBoy game I bought, too.
Good way to start things off, either way.

It's just there and does nothing.
I think thats it. I don't see how we can put any value into it, but I did invest a little into crypto. These are confusing times.
