    In 50 years I reckon the one on the left might have aged better. Based solely on past performance, cutesy stylised graphics of the N64 kick the shit out of almost anything the technically superior PS1 put out.

    ETA : Stylised things from ps1 are excluded from that statement. Crash bandicoot and the like.

    In a way it’s more fair by design. In a completely fair game the most skilled player will always win. In a game like Mario Kart everyone has a chance to win.

    As a kid my family wouldn’t play most games with me because I won every time. If we couldn’t do co-op mode we didnt play, and they’d still get grumbly on co-op because I’d be doing the heavy lifting and showing them up. They’d play Mario Kart and Mario Party with me though.

    As an e-sport or “compare your online rank to mine and weep” dick-measurer it sucks. As a video game its very good.




  • I peaked hard on Halo. I wish I had the gear/inclination to start a YouTube channel for it. Back in those days YouTube wasn’t the high-paying career it is today, and i was convinced it would be a waste of money to get the gear required to start one.

    I’ve properly grown up since then though, and now im nowhere near the best at any video game. I often wonder how different life would be if I’d managed to just sit at home playing games every day and be a near millionaire from it.
