I find this funny, since I used to hide drugs like mushrooms inside consoles. I figured it was the one place literally no one would think to look. Just unscrewed them, put a baggie inside in one of those empty spaces (there's always a spot), and put the case back together.

PS2 is retro now? Damn, getting old really does sneak up on you.

I found my Green game boy Pocket and saw the 1989-1996 copyright.

It looks so pristine. 😭😭😭

Rockstar used to go pretty hard.

All right I'll ask the dumb question here, what am I looking at? From what I can tell they are tiny empty bags

Those type of bags are usually used to hold illicit substances, and typically only bought by small-time drug dealers.

board game baggies usually have a tiny hole in them, to let the air out when you're packing the game away. not so great if you're muleing some molly to your weekly game of Wingspan

I miss that era. Companies didn’t mind a bit of edginess and weren’t afraid to market to adults. The console culture itself also isn’t what it used to be.

These days, gaming consoles all need to be safe enough for five year olds to play on them. And it’s caused everything to be just too bland and safe, both in marketing and the console itself. Can’t really have things like Xbox 360 Uno with the live camera feed and no moderation. Or the wholly uncensored COD lobbies.
