I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play 'backed up' games and having a custom dashboard was really neat.
I ended up buying one last year to fulfill that childhood wish.

I bought a Sega game gear (handheld console of the 90s) when I got my first job.
Now in my 40s I get the things I wasn't allowed when I was younger and they're usually gadgets or food related.
I have all the cool tech I need. I have takeaway too often and it always cheers me up, I have snacks and no one yells at me for using too much ketchup.
I love being an adult.

That made me chuckle. Do you still have your Game Gear?
I do, it's in a box on the attic!
No way it still works 🤣
Fair enough. I stumbled across a Game Gear community online a little while ago and I think they mentioned some common issues occurring due to age. Not sure if it was capacitor related like the original Xbox
Truthfully, I don't need it and probably never did.
I got it because of your opening question, because I suddenly could because I had money for the first time.
I want a steam deck too and yet I have absolutely no use for it and it would go unused on the side of my table just like the portable mega drive emulator I got a while back.
Sometimes my inner child wants a new toy! Sometimes I get it for them, sometimes I don't.
