BIG RIP
Only in my early adulthood did I understand why the anger and pain Chester shared with the world resonated so strongly within me. Also, “Papercut” is such a strong album opener, jeez! Comparable, to my knowledge, only by Yeezus’ “On Sight”, which never leaves my jogging playlist, lol.

When did the pronunciation change from N-E-S to Nes?

Of the people I knew as a kid, the “N.E.S.”/“Nes” divide was about even (I’m in the US)

I hadn’t heard “nes” until very recently. Was always N.E.S. to anyone I talked to. Granted, I’m 39. I thought for sure it was the next gen that started calling it that.

When I was a kid we just called it a Nintendo. We didn’t start using any pronunciation of “NES” until later consoles were out.

I use both interchangeably, though the SNES is always just Snes.

I’m not in an English speaking country, but I never heard it pronounced N-E-S
