5 years is a better test of quality. In 50 years, the discussion about games this old will be more about what was influential or socially notable rather than what was a true joy, as it’s harder to articulate joy than influence, and the frame of reference and technology will be completely foreign to modern brains.

I wish theyd put an LZ button on it so I could use it instead of a pro controller for any game

I didn’t read the whole thing, so hate on me in the replies if you wanna, but I had trouble getting past the dismissal of power dynamics and the effect they have on peoples’ self images.

Zero is going to destroy him.  DE-STROY.
