I sold my PC yesterday because of financial struggles and as far as I’m aware, I would probably be unable to buy a PC or console ever again. That said, I still want to somehow experience the games I would otherwise want to play on PC. I’m thinking of watching let’s plays but of course, that’s not the same as actually playing them. For those in the same boat, what do you do? Do you just let go? Or maybe watch playthroughs? I’m curious.

    If emulation is an option you could play some classics on your phone if it helps.

    Sorry for your situation. Hope the future looks better.

      To elaborate on this… phone emulation isn’t just for retro classics. Many phones will have enough power to emulate modern Switch games, and semi-modern games up to Wii/3DS or so. Many modern games are also portrd to phones (Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Wild Rift, Fortnite, etc).

      Sorry to hear OP is having such a hard time, but SBC gaming is another option if there’s enough of a budget for that. Retroid Pocket 4 Pro (£120 on eBay, upto Wii/3DS/manySwitch), or Retroid Pocket 5 (£190 on eBay, up to PS3 and all of Switch).
