  The Retro/Vintage thing drives me crazy. Not that I mind words altering their meaning over time, that’s just a fact of language. But searching for things when the two words are used interchangeably half the time is a chore 😂 From what I’ve seen, other hobbies do it a bit better than video games do.

  But I’m going to completely agree with the SNES. Early 3D aged so horribly, if you ask me. As much as I loved my N64 back in the day, it is easily my least used console and mostly just collects dust.

  I think this really is just a personal preference deal. I WANT games with scores and grades. Come on, game, tell me that I’m horrible and that I need to do better! Maybe I’m into the punishment, I don’t know. Played too much Bop It! as a kid and got used to the guy screaming when I messed up.

  This is why I play so many arcade style games, and so many rhythm games. This is why communities for speedrunning, rhythm games, and high scores still exist - otherwise I would think I’m completely alone in this 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could a child learn everything just from watching Hollywood movies and TV shows?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  On one hand I am always amazed at what kids can learn at latch onto on the weirdest ways. So I have no doubt that a lot can be learned through context. Watching movies can absolutely demonstrate a seemingly endless scenarios in a way that can be understood.

  However, as someone raising a child, let me tell you how often I have to stop and explain that certain things are not real just because there’s a video of it. Or how many words are being used incorrectly because they were heard in one context that was misunderstood.

  I think a child who only had media to teach them, with no one to correct things, would have an endless amount of misunderstandings - nevermind the amount of things they’d believe that are entirely fictional. Basically, no, this kid would be screwed.
