SPEAKER 1: Do you play video games?
SPEAKER 2: I loved Super Mario Brothers 3 growing up on the original Nintendo.
Like, that is canonical fun.
SPEAKER 1: N64 or actual Nintendo Nintendo?
SPEAKER 2: No, this was, like, the original Nintendo Entertainment System--
the NES--
which was so much fun growing up.
I then stopped playing video games for years, really.
And then the Nintendo Wii came out, which,
finally, was just really accessible.
Like, honestly, all of the various console
games that just had so many darn buttons and toggles,
it was just too much for my level of interest or intelligence.
And so once the Wii came out, which just had, truly, fewer buttons and it
used ergonomics more so and movements, it just
made it much more accessible to someone like me.
And so it kind of got me into it with The Legend of Zelda
again, even though I had played the original, which was super fun, and then
some variants of Super Mario Brothers again.
And then I kind of lost interest again.
And I've been-- I've owned a Switch now--
Nintendo Switch-- for a couple of years, and it hasn't
been used in a couple of years now.
But I did take it out at Christmas time and put it
on the shelf, closer to the TV.
So I'm asymptotically approaching playing it again.
But it hasn't-- the HDMI cable hasn't made its way into the TV yet.
