This game is so perfectly /comfy/.
Why hey there! This here is Texas Pete! I hear you been using my sauce. You like sauce? Guess where I'm from.

are you from /ck/ ?
Playing through famicom DQ1 made me feel like I was an 80s japanese child.

Texas Pete is owned by a company in NC. I feel a little betrayed.

"This salsa's made in New York City..."
"NEW YORK CITY?!"
>>4260138
You to?
>>4260138
It's a good feeling

I don't really understand what /comfy/ means anymore
I think it has to do mainly with nostalgia feelings
How can anyone not love Dragon Quest?
>>4260356
On /vr/, that seems to mean "nostalgia-larping".
>>4260356
Considering that most people just "get" what comfy means, I think it is something based on nostalgia. It can also fall under a couple under things, though:
>Games that don't require much exertion
>Games you can play while drinking a cup of tea in bed on a cool night/with the AC on the lowest setting
>Games you liked as a child that you realize are pretty boring but the nostalgia makes it comfy

Ok, now I get it, makes total sense that way
Thanks.

Nostalgia is sometimes a part of it, but this picture is also /comfy/ despite not involving nostalgia.
You kinda just have to learn it by example.

I think this is a bad example. This would be a lot comfier without the frogposting and weird apocalypse wish fulfillment thing.
>>4262208
I think the apocalypse thing is just to juxtapose how hellish the outside world has become and, in comparison, how comfy you are. Like being inside next to a fireplace while a storm rages outside the windows.

Dude, right? 80s and 90s Japan just seems like the best time and place to be alive as a human. Much better than the ever-deepening crap hole that is 2010s America. I just have to tell myself that it could always be worse, I could be an ISIS sex slave or something.
(Technically Japan's economy was fucked up during the 90s, but it doesn't seem to have hurt the average person much, and their pop cultural output in the 90s was still phenomenal despite all that.)

The soundtrack of broken dreams, bittersweet memories, and nostalgia for a time you never lived in.
Did the DW I-II GBC even come out in the US? I can't find shit
>>4262363
I actually don't want to live in a country with racial homogeny. Japan's fucked up work culture is also resulting in more and more people being sexually frustrated virgins along with an aging population and low birth rate.
I also have access to all of those games and more for free. Just because children liked the famicom doesn't mean that you would have as an adult. It also doesn't mean you would like or even know about the games you like today. You are chasing a fantasy.
>>4262374
Nah, I travel all across the country for work and like exploring. I also have pretty good friends that I like to play retro games with who live all over now. I wouldn't feel very comfy if cities were literally on fire, I'd be too worried about people and myself.

It's not a fantasy to want to live in a country where you don't turn on the evening news and see protestors beating the shit out of each other over racial tensions. Such places existed and continue to exist. Like Japan.
