@NintendoByNature Collections as one game? I'm not sure I'm following that train of thought, but I'd say no:
a game is a game, and a collection is multiple games, so I'd never call that just one game, regardless of whether it's a physical copy or not. My Switch game library now counts 59 full games (of which only 6 physical) and a whopping 106 demos. I always get enthusiastic with new consoles and download everything under the sun that's free, so most of my consoles are full of demos, some of which I've never even played, but I still download them just in case, you know, I might want to play them, or rather: finally get the time to play them...
@HobbitGamer I've stored some of my consoles and handhelds in the back room, but most are still connected in the living room. I've got a small SD flat screen TV on the side, with the GameCube and Dreamcast connected, and to my main TV, I've got the Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One S and Switch all still connected. I like choices, and if there's one thing I hate, is having to dig stuff up out of a closet or a basement, whenever I feel like playing a game on any of these systems, so I keep them hooked up, so that they're ready to go whenever I feel like using them.

@ThanosReXXX what I mean is a collection of games, sold as 1 sku. For example, the most recent collection I bought was megaman z/x collection. 6 games on 1 cart. Does that bring my total amount up 6? Or just 1? Does that make sense?
@NintendoByNature Ah, okay. Those kinds of collections. I was kind of wondering, since we were already talking about collections in the first place, but yeah, those I'd count as 1, seeing as they come on 1 cartridge or disc, or when digital as a single product, but other than that, I count all others separately.

@NintendoByNature - It is fun, but it’s easy to let huge chunks of time go in between gaming sessions with the kids. I introduced them to SFII today on the mini. They loved it. My son went 5-3 against my daughter by simply not moving and spamming a medium kick the entire time. It was really hard to watch.
@ThanosReXXX - I went to a big ole state university back in the day when young people could pretty much just be young people, and everyone was way less stressed out and high strung. It was a lot of fun man. I I had a lot of late nights, and I was lucky to escape a few of them alive and/or with my freedom, but I guess that’s just part of growing up. You can probably piece together similar experiences you had in your life at that age, but it is nice to have all those memories collected together in the file simply labeled “college”. I get together with a group of seven other college friends every August for a weekend getaway just to catch up and reminisce.
@HobbitGamer - Which two systems did you keep? Or did you get rid of all your retro, and you meant you only have current gen Nintendo and Microsoft? You have yourself a cursed memory do you? How now brown cow? Who for what then? So many questions?
@bimmy-lee I parted with all the retro, so I have current Ninty and MS yeah. But my mother has a Wii and N2DS, so I can cheat my system a little.
I was able to bring myself to read all the old Goosebumps books again a few ago years ago. It took about four nights since the suspense was gone. But remembering stuff really helped those Insanity runs in Mass Effect 1. Stupid Keeper locations.

@ThanosReXXX True that! Not that civility doesn't exist, but it really is fleeting, more so in some echo chambers than others.
@bimmy-lee The gaming chair has made its new home in front of my computer desk, along with a new monitor (for dual screen work, useful for what I do) and external mechanical keyboard. My goal was to make my home office space a little more suited to long-term work as I do have the means now, albeit rarely, to work from home; I learned the hard way a couple of months back that my current setup isn't comfortable for more than an hour. The previous chair was an old hard-backed wooden one that I inherited from my parents and only just now bothered replacing.
So far this is only the first step until I reorganize my space better. I'd also like to get a new desk eventually. Once my current laptop conks out, I might get an actual tower that's at least somewhat equipped for powerful games.
I typically play my Switch docked on my living room TV and keep to my trusty recliner. I play handheld mode about anywhere in the house, though most commonly in my living room or bedroom.

@bimmy-lee classic. E Honda I'd always good for stiff arm spamming too. Might want to show her so she can even the playing field a bit. Or a blanca electric shock
@DannyBoi We are long way from a successor. Nintendo should never stray from handheld options. They just make them the best. The Switch is what the Vita should have been.
