Hence tomogatchi, pokemon, robotic dogs.

Yes.

The Japanese did 9/11

wow..

@Logan 9/11 *did* bring the US together...

It also brought the US and the middle east together

Digimon started out as Tomagachi that linked up for fighting. It was developed independently of Pokemon game boy games. And of course they both got shows.

I will say pokemon is the better game but digimon had the better show

@ThisIsChris pokemon sales went *up* after 9/11.

Iyashi (癒し) is a Japanese word that means to heal, focusing on the whole person.

That's what they were trying to cultivate during the economic crisis in the 90s.

I was done with pokemon long before 911

@Selma were the first harvest moon games as a result of that?

Maybe. That's actually a very good question, Wood Ape.

that age of trying to 'grow up'

DBZ got lame too

Harvest moon is pretty rad.

I played the gamecube one endlessly; cried when my goat died.

that far game?

If you want a really weird nostalgia red pill I could discuss the history of (((Power Rangers)))

They didn't tell you that you had to feed the damn animal.

I'll save it for Denver...

Anyone play Stardew valley?

yeah

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN putties were the original NPCs

@ThisIsChris Puttie patrolers?

IE conference is essentially going to be Dragon con

@Papa Pizzagate yeet

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN oh yeah putties

@Papa Pizzagate was it good? Got it after rave reviews but didnt go past the first house

SNES is best console ever, prove me wrong

**Tyler pops his head in chat**,
Notices long convo consisting of vidya games, and anime references.......

**Darts out of chat with look of disapproval**

Rareware in the late 90s, Flint.

even without nostalgia

*puts on sunglasses*

@Flint weird way to spell gamecube but, okay.

by the time gamecube came out I had already gotten more interested in grills

GC best ever???? wii can play all those games

thats gay chris

Homebrewing the Wii was the most amazing thing you could do in 2008.

stardew is a huge time sink tbh.

Of course that's what you're into, nemets.

@ThisIsChris

soy Boy skit but still kinda funny in hindsight of the NPC meme

PS2 is 2nd best

the GBA and 3ds have amazing libraries

can play all ps1 as well

GBA is my favorite, tbh

GBA had remakes of snes games, first fire emblem in america, mother 3

have the ds lite that plays them

@Tyler0317 the best part about deployments to Iraq was not going on one and playing SOCOM 2 all day instead

My dudes,

I was raised in a home that didn't allow video games.

As an adult, I don't even own a TV.

TFW, I realize I will never understand these references.😎

Yo, tbh GBA is a classic console with a great library.

Clay fighters 64?

@Tyler0317 you're better off, I plan to raise my kids without these things too

What was the gba called that folded in half and had the backlit screen?

SP

@Tyler0317 you're probably better for it.

For fun they will do long division

Yas

I wasted so much time on that with Pokémon emerald

Give me a TV and I will watch Fox News all day

Thumbs up this post if you 🇫 with Golden Sun

@Logan Lies.... I know it's not PC to say, but war was awesome

The djinns in golden sun made that game so fun

GBA top 10 is best top 10

AoE2 was god tier

But he SNES had more

The SNES also had a huge amount of shovelware

Equivalent to the Wii, I would say.

What is shovelware?

crap games

thank you

Figured that’s what that meant

Examples: Elf bowling, tiny toons adventures 2: bunny's quest

cheap garbage

I liked tiny toons adventure 1

leave

Hahaha

SNES has a top 50 that can beat any consoles top 200

So many great games it's ridiculous

Hit after hit

I liked banjo kazooie

Earthbound, super mario rpg, chrono trigger, ff6

Banjo kazoo IE

the perfect age of 2d aesthetic

Some vidya games are so anime that they are childish.

the pinnacle

Super Mario rpg was lit

*testosterone of chat increases*

@Selma nice, I only played chrono trigger for the first time a few months ago, I got it on my wii just before they closed the virtual console store

@Sam Anderson Every now and then you need something to relax and just have fun with. Once the bills are paid, the kids are fed, etc

Super Mario World was my first vidya ever

Isn't it a wonderful game, @ThisIsChris ?

Specifically the soundtrack by Yasunori Mitsuda *adjusts glasses and continues to grow gayer*

@ThisIsChris Doesn't it suck they closed the wii store?

I have it on the PS1, though

Load times are annoying

@Nemets my childhood friends and I always played video games but always did outside activities too, it was always balanced

Yeah, Yasunori Mitsuda composed for that, Chris. Time's scar is a beautiful song.

@Nemets I think Diversity and screen tech are the one two punch of indoor childhoods
