I miss back in the days where gaming was so much simpler. I remember every evening going to the "kedai game" at my housing area to play PS1 by paying RM2 for half an hour, with the lunch money from school that I saved up on that day. Yes, my willingness to starve myself so that I could play games at that time, just bring tears to my eyes remembering it oh so fondly.
My eagerness and perseverance with games at that time was just surprising to me when I think about it now. I really sympathize with my old self.
I wish I could meet my younger self and tell him this:
"Little brother, please don't do this to yourself, go and eat, don't starve yourself. Here I can buy you a PS1/PS2, you just focus on your study, stay at home, don't always go out every evening. And do not even think to learn to smoke. You have your console at home, buy some games and then go back home, play your games after you finish your school work. Ok, have fun and enjoy your time at home."
Yes guys, that's how I became a smoker, because I spend so much time outside, socializing with other kids that play games that smokes too, one thing lead to another, I became a smoker in my teenage years.
Well, it's an experience to me and still gold. I wouldn't say it's a bad one. I couldn't purchase a console or PC at that time and yet that's how I manage and able to play games, in a way its a sort of hustling to me. I'm so eager to have achieved something and willing to find a way for it and finally making it a reality.
P/S: My apology I know my post and the photo below doesn't seem to be connected but it's relatable to me. By going to these "kedei game" that's how I find the latest games, hot games, having small discussion on what's the trending game, watching others playing games That's how I find content to watch gameplays on certain games back in the day, just like nowdays we hop on youtube and watched other gaming creator to find infos about the game that we wanna play. Not much difference with nowadays just that's the method I use and other gamers use to get by for our gaming needs. I just miss the old methods.
I remember when it was like this.
