It’s always hard to not get jealous of people that have shiny new toys. Remember as a kid, when you were just getting your NES system for the first time, finally getting your parents to cave and spring for that cool gaming set, allowing you to dominate Super Mario Brothers 3, only to see your friend get SNES? It’s deflating. You want to have to newest thing, but you’re stuck with the old model, the one that promised to be awesome but just ended up being the same dud as everyone else.
