    Lots of things stopping me from doing this:

    1. I am currently 36 years old, I will not be 38 at any time during the year 2024.
    2. I do not own a copy of Wrestlemania 2000.
    3. I finished my pizza rolls yesterday.

        I agree. He just needs to smoke a carton of cigs and drink a bottle of whiskey and he will feel older the next day for sure!

    I had pizza rolls and played Borderlands 3 last night, but was asleep on the couch at 8:00. I’m 39.

    As a 42 year old woman with no work tomorrow, eating takeaway pizza and drinking wine whilst contemplating zelda on the DS I bought over Covid vs a cheesy movie on Hulu this made me smile. :)

    Nothing is stopping you from this right now

    Except the cost of the console and games. :(

    Also, Beetle Adventure Racing > Wrestlemania

      Your phone has enough power to emulate an N64 and roms are free. Ain’t nobody making royalties 25 years later on Wrestlemania.

        Well, yes, I have a gaming PC as well. (and a steam deck) It just ain’t the same without the OG controller. Need to get a USB one eventually but I’m poor.

        I do still have some of my original carts as well. Same with a bunch of NES carts I got from my previous job. Been eyeing those modern consoles that work with NES carts because that would be nice to have in the living room.

      They are pretty cheap. Around 50 bucks. With the box around 150. SNES is expensive compared to it. Also, Diddy Kong racing > beetle adventure racing.

      Ahhh beetle adventure racing! Brings back memories. I found a legit “cheat” way to play by doing something like turning and then clicking handbrake? A few times and it would take super sharp turns depending on how many times you click handbrake no matter the speed you were going. Allowed be to beat the game and unlock all cars pretty easily.

          I want to say yes, but honestly that was such a long time ago. I remember there was an “out of this world” secret car but I don’t remember much else.

    This is very close to how my weekend went actually : ) Just with BG3 instead of Wrestlemania, and the wife was out of town instead of no school. Haha.

    Ha! Jokes on you, I’m not 38 until… next week. Guck!

    (I meant to type “fuck” but “guck” works just as well.)

      This honestly needs to be a lemmy insider only word. Replace all reference of fuck with guck going forward.

    Taking turns playing Doom 64 while drinking Mtn Dew Code Red and eating Buncha Crunch. Everything was downhill after that.

      Wrestlemania 2000 was cool and all, but WCW/NWO Revenge will always be my GOAT. I remember as a kid being hella impressed by the customization options.

      I also owned WCW/NWO Thunder for PS1. Game was dog shit.

    I remember Game Grumps playing a wrestlemania game and getting kind of sad because almost all of the Wrestlers depicted had already died.

    I don’t think I can be 38 right now unless we want to really break physics. I wouldn’t mind shaving a couple of years off, though.

    And I’d have to use that weird-assed controller shudder.

    That said, y’all have fun and enjoy it! :)

    Guys will see this and say hell yeah.

    But for real, don’t sell your games. Don’t be that guy in 20 years being like “remember n64?”

      Indeed. Instead be that guy saying “Oh, man… I forgot to check the caps… the motherboard is absolutely corroded and ruined beyond repair!”

      Just reminding you if you have any old consoles or other such old electronics. Remember the capacitors.
