This is my retro corner!

I also use it for watching DVDs, when I am not watching twitch streams and can't bring myself to play anything.

This madness started with handheld emulators a couple years ago. I got the Miyoo Mini + and the Retroid Pocket 4 pro.

But what really got me into playing on an old CRT TV was playing classic games on NSO with the CRT shaders. I loved the curve of the TV and the scan lines.

There is only one more console I'm thinking about getting, but it's not necessary. I want a PSX, specifically for the PSX boot video. I never owned one, in my childhood, and really want the complete experience.

The only console I didn't buy was the Xbox. It's my only surviving childhood console that I carried with me after my mom kicked me out 12 years ago. I did have to do some maintenance on it so it functions properly.

My newest addition is the PS2.

I've been gaming for as long as my memory goes back. I'm in my 30s now and due to depression and this illness, it's hard to game for extended hours, or at all some days. However, my love and appreciation for this art form has only increased as I've aged. Also, there were so many games I never got the chance to play that I can collect and spend some time with!

I'm also an uncle and dream to share my collection with my nephews and nieces. But Dad (my caretaker,) and I are planning to move closer, hopefully before the end of the year, but we are waiting for the housing voucher program to open again, so we can apply. We live about 2.5 hours from my brother and sister and want to be a part of their lives again. I would love to see the kids grow up and watch them develop themselves as they move through life! (I don't see myself ever having children.)

TV is a Daewoo DTQ-13V1FC got it off marketplace almost a year ago.

My most recent additions are the av switch (I had a mess of cables in front of the TV until that,) increased capacity power strip, and the PS2. I know I don't need a PSX, but one thing I like about retro gaming are the boot screens and I never really experienced the PS1s boot. Never had one, growing up.

The Xbox is my childhood Xbox. For some reason, it's the only one that I kept with me throughout the years.

Here is the rest of my desk. Not very organized, but it works for me.

My dream is to move closer to my brother and sister, with my dad, (also my caretaker,) get a bigger CRT and be able to play couch coop with my nephews and niece. As of now, this room is my only space for my things and I am pretty squished in.
