Retrogaming is eco-friendly ♥️🎮♻️

Being "zero waste" means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.
Our community places a major focus on the 5 R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.
We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.
Always good to see two of my interests intersecting :D
Anyway yeah I love playing older games and low-hardware-requirements games. I find that they're also generally more accessible because of that.
And there's far more games than anyone will ever play in a lifetime. Not even all the games one wants to play.
There are maybe some concerns that older hardware does use more electricity, but that's probably more than made up by not buying new devices, unless you're using them very heavily.
Older PC hardware does generally consume more power, yeah.
But old consoles? pffft anything that came before the PS3 and X360 was even lucky to consume more than 35 Watts of power. ⚡
