Do you ever buy new games or do you only play the ones you had access to at a specific point in your life? What I mean is that the N64 went on sale in 1996, a 21 year old machine, and it's fine, but the clear plastic ones, which went on sale in 2000, 17 year old machine, cause you anxiety. One would think that any title you didn't have in your N64 collection in the first four years of its existence would be just as disquieting.
Being uncomfortable with new experiences, do you find it difficult to enjoy bands that aren't dead yet? Who's the wisest Ninja Turtle? How bad do vegetables taste?
I'm not uncomfortable with new experiences. That is, after all, what life is all about. But much like Tom Petty versus Katy Perry, sometimes the one that was first was the one that was best. Not always, but often. I don't like the black and grey N64 just because it was first, but because it was best. I don't need a clear purple piece of electronics in my house, and I don't need to see inside my controller to notice there's a motherboard in there. Aesthetically, the first attempt was best. The clear models coming out more recently doesn't make it automatically better.
In fact, even within this thread I've made mention to that, by saying I don't like the original Turbografx at all, and that I found the Turbo Duo to be a far more aesthetically pleasing design. Still to this day, I won't get the original system. But the software I appreciate. The Turbo Duo allows me to enjoy those titles on a better box.
I find that the people in life who critique others the hardest have the most emptiness inside of themselves. I wish you luck in finding fulfillment in your life, so that you're overflowing with contentment and love that you don't need to, nor have time to, waste your life analyzing others'.
Raise your vibration, and the company that surrounds you will improve. Best of luck.
I understand your need for the "pure" version of something. The TurboGrafx isn't the "original", though, neither is the Duo. All NEC game machines were made in the same factories by the same people as all the others. None are more pure than the others except maybe the original PCE. US systems are all weird byproducts of a fruitless and f*cked up attempt to market the PC Engine in the west and they came years after their JP versions.
I'm not saying my collectarded logic makes more overall sense that yours, but you seem to be one of those guys that thinks US systems have some kind of magical awesomeness for literally no reason except "that's what I saw when I was a dumb broke 8 year old who didn't even really know WTF is was"
and frankly that's pretty mockable. I did give you a chance to explain yourself which you...kinda did.
I find that people who never criticize anyone to be airheads, or much more likely liars who say they don't criticize other people. Of course, neither is bad as the humorless or people make weird musical references. Even the Dali Lama occasionally takes a crack at people and he's...what's your opinion of his vibrations? I think he's too enlightened to play video games and he's still talking shit so both you and are are kinda garbage, right? He's so much better than either of us!
I mean...WTF do Tom Petty and Katie Perry have to do with each other whatsoever and how is one "better" than the other? Are you into sports by any chance? Most music fans don't have a mindset that calls one act "better", overall, at everything, apparently, than another. It's not that they are afraid to CRITICIZE Perry like you did (far from it) it's just that those two acts are 40 years apart and have almost no overlapping audience whatsoever so why would they even be in the same sentence? Now I have noticed that people who are sports fans and only think they like music are obsessed with ranking things so perhaps that's leaking in?
I think I'd rather listen to Perry. It's that I'm a fan. In fact I can't name a single song she's done and that's why I'd rather spend time with her stuff that Petty, who's material I've been so overexposed to by terrible music programmers that I don't even know if I like it or not.
1. You didn't read what I wrote. My taste in Turbografx consoles and N64 consoles has nothing to do with "pure" version, as my favorite Turbografx is NOT the original one, while the N64 is. That comes down to personal preference. You were bringing up the funtastic colored N64s being newer as why I didn't like them. The music reference was put there to show that sometimes newer isn't better. The turbografx reference was there to show sometimes it is. My point being, your previous accusation that I only liked older iterations because of nostalgia, or some other reason, was pure bologna.
2. Once again your accusation is wrong. If this was true, my Neo Geo PC would be the light silver US model, which it is not (it's a v2 that was only released in Japan), or I would prefer the US SNES aesthetically over the Japanese Super Fami, which I do not. Once again, I prefer the one that clicks with me the most. Sometimes it's because of nostalgia, sure. But sometimes it's aesthetics. Whichever wins, whever screams out at me the most inside, wins. My point is, you make a lot of assumptions, and you're wrong on that.
I never said I didn't criticize anyone, as I critiqued you in my last post, no? There's a major difference though in kindly critiquing someone, and being an elitist dick about it. Because my opinions were different, you attacked me on a thread that was simply about me introducing myself, and showing off one of many systems that I now own. If you don't like people getting preachy towards you, stop your initial behavior. Again, like I said, if you raise your vibration (ie: be a better person), the way people talk/reply to what your saying will also be of a higher vibration, even if you don't see eye to eye. See how the Dal
ai Lama criticizes people, and take that to heart. He points out their fallacies, but never in a belittling manor, but in a way they can positively learn and become better people.
4. See point 1.
5. I never said you couldn't like her. That's simply your opinion. Once again, the music reference was simply to show newer isn't always better, like you previously implied. And for most people of our age group, Katy Perry would not be the preferred choice between the two artists.
