I really wish I had an IRL friend that was into retro handhelds just like I am.

We could sit on the couch, hang out and play and show off our games and devices to eachother. Show how we've progressed in our games. Infodump about the weirdest facts related to Gameboys, DSs, emulator handhelds and so on.

But, I don't have any IRL friends who are at all interested in this stuff.

I'm sad :(

My IRL friends are inerested in soccer. I don't have many friends, but almost all of them have have a thing for soccer. So I'm fine pretending to like soccer every once in a while.
