What is something you wanted as a kid and bought now that you're an adult with disposable income?
I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play 'backed up' games and having a custom dashboard was really neat.
I ended up buying one last year to fulfill that childhood wish.

We had computers at home when I was little. Vic-20, C64, PCs.
But, of course I wanted a NES like all the other kids. Or a Megadrive/Genesis. But, no, computers are for work. We don't do video games.
So, I've had to make up for that by having a collection of all the consoles I never had. I've had a good run doing software development the last two decades, so I'm financially comfortable. I've recently taken the plunge into becoming an indie game developer. So, I guess the joke's on both me and my parents.
My gaming collection currently has a VIC-20, C64, plus/4, A600, A1200, NES, master system, genesis, WiiU, switch, Gameboy, GBA SP, DS, 3DS and PS Vita. And a miyoo mini, retroid pocket 3+ and a gpi case for emulation.
Do you have a favorite or a recent go-to device?
I probably spend the most time with the C64. Mostly for watching or coding demos, so I know it quite intimately at this point.
The NES is the most recent. The miyoo gets a lot of playtime on the toilet.
Well if you happen to remake Mail Order Monsters, I'll buy it!
I feel you. All my friends had a NES with tons of great games. Meanwhile, I had to learn DOS to fire-up Alley Cat, Paper Boy or California Games. Finally got myself a NES at 14 when I started to work as... a paperboy. All my friends had a superNES at that point, obviously.
