These trends were already manifesting. The country took a weird dark turn at some point. Kids with gelled hair could sit on AIM in 1999 and carry on extemporaneous communication

Also a thought occurred to me recently

In 1999 it was like holy shit my life/town/city suck, imagine living in a city with good phenotypes. Like the PLACE mattered

In [current year] it’s like who gives a fuck, why would I care, I have Games. I have a Trailer. If I want to get laid I can get pussy through the Internet or something idk. Like yeah a Rave with only white people might be cool but that’s not happening. Every club is URM and every bar is just One Clique or something

is this offered on all the platforms after n64? switch you can play with four players in marko kart, smash bros, etc.

they fell out of favor generally because of online. 4 player goldeneye on one screen kinda sucks. it was only big because of few other viable options

PS2 had 2 controller ports bc Sony did not deign to support local muntiplayer. He must’ve had a Multitap.

it was notably laggy because the game had to render the game world 4 times at once. goldeneye and perfect dark were laggy at the best of times in single player but multiplayer was like a slideshow if you got some grenade explosions going.

This was actually fun iirc. Like just seeing your irl friend trying to Slap as Oddjob who was made a midget bc the actor is 5’8 plus he’s azn and it was the 90s. It’s not about the gameplay it’s about Killing your friends. I enjoyed when games bled into irl such as when re-enacting Fatalities. Pretending to show my buddy his beating heart as he Dies. A triumph. Only western games got re enacted. No one tried to do zangief’s spinning pile driver irl.

As for goldeneye, it got off easy with a T rating. And it couldn’t be Modded. So when Columbine happened, no one blamed Rare. Its contribution to the undoing of the millennial generation came in the segue it provided to Xbox, which was the true successor to the western N64

that T rating was rather odd. you could go all license to kill on "innocent" scientists in the Facility and riddle their bodies with bloody holes.

There are people who will argue with me about this. I think the rating itself colors people’s perceptions. Same people will insist that Halo needed an M-rating because you see alien monsters DECAPITATED. Yeah ok, I made Ganon Bleed with an E rating. Microsoft WANTED an M rating. Nintendo WANTED a T rating. Nintendo Published goldeneye and used their soft power to get a T rating

Jet Force Gemini, cartoon space game: T rating

Perfect Dark, M

Both published by Rare. No soft power.
