Egregoros

@mjdxp he just has annoying zoomer opinions that ignore the contemporary time that consoles and games are released in when it comes to older games (and is also so so nintendo biased lmao) and also ignores a lot of the overseas history of things and then people watch the videos and start saying the exact same things as he said without actually reading any further into it. I like his main channel but the second channel is kinda like, hearing his dumb opinions just slightly too much as to be annoying

@Velveteen i think a lot of people into retro games should learn a lot more about the japanese gaming industry of the time because it's really completely different and really fascinating. i've never been huge into the NES but something about the famicom really hits the spot for me. the console design is way better, the cartridges have way more personality, there are a bunch of weird and cool variants like the twin famicom, there's the famicom disk system which is like its own console, and there's even stuff like a full on BASIC programming environment with a keyboard add on (which i do have!) there's also a lot of fascinating stories to be heard from countries such as post-soviet countries and china where nintendo never officially sold their consoles, so companies made their own clones and bootleg games (although i think calling them all "bootlegs" is really doing a disservice to the effort a lot of developers put into making some unlicensed games). i should also try to learn more about the european market, i've learned a bit about british home computers (and i really want to sit down and play elite some day) but i don't know as much about the console market
