    Basically the same way the douchey rich kid who’s tolerated because he’s got a Playstation AND an N64 is “popular”.

        Playstation AND an N64

        Ha, well, these days it’s hard to be sure. I see some kind of weird penchant for collecting things like cassettes now, and among a much younger set than I would have ever imagined. I’ve not priced a N64 or an original PS1 in a while, but it seems like they are old enough now to start becoming collectible?

        A great term I’ve run across recently is “anemoia” - nostalgia for a past you’ve never even experienced. I think I see some of that in Gen Alpha, anyway. Actually, quite a lot of it…

          Oh, so that’s what Anemoiapolis is named after.

        Golden Eye - pyramid level, slaps only, no odd job - was the height of gaming that the industry has yet to recapture.

          I liked Duke Nukem 64. Me and my mates would play that non-stop. Goldeneye was never worth playing because the guy who owned the N64 was unbeatable.
