I suppose this is what getting older feels like.
Thanks, now I can’t get Delfino Plaza out of my head again.

And that's not even the first 3D Mario.
I had the first NES system with the original inclusion of Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt. Actually it was the first console of the line but I don’t think the very first version because I think the very first version did not have Duck Hunt or the gun. Correct me if I’m mistaken. I was a little late to the NES and by then I think they added that element to it.
But also, I didn’t buy any console after that, because once I started gaming on PC I only ever gamed on PC. Although I regret not getting into Turbo Grafx 16 because years later I found troves of the games at a flea market and the guy dug up all of the ones he had and brought them over the following few weeks. By that time I was no longer really interested in them so I was just buying and reselling them on eBay. Massive score on that load. But I wish I had just collected the whole set and gotten a unit.
Why did I start rambling? Oh yeah cuz it’s Reddit. Anyway, consoles were a nice idea but to me, once I could upgrade a graphics card and always still be able to not only play the games that I had already, but continue to be able to get newer ones… I dunno, the console concept seemed to me a money pit, because first of all, the moment it hit the shelves in stores, there were already better graphics chips being sold for PC, and also, eventually as I had predicted, it would become a console war, combined with cutting off older units whenever they pleased, as well as all the rest of the shit they’ve pulled over the years with DRM, and online requirement so they could fucking cut you off when they pleased. I opted to not even bother stepping into that racket. PC gaming for me. Especially retro PC gaming.
Ok ramble over. Just wanted to share my experiences.

Shut up. 2D Mario is only ten years ago.
Worse still, virtual reality headsets started around the 1960s with the sword of damocles and people still treat it like it's a novel technology...
That's... not nice :(
I memba playing Battlezone in the 80s, twas my first 3d game, and fucking blew my mind!!
Thank you, imgur.
Edit: Now Sync says, that it could not load the video. Sad...
Sadly, I can’t see it. But I’m glad you can.
I thanked for the message, that image doesn't exist xD
This just made me realize most really don't thank the website every time a page loads, wtf ingrates.
Most of the time internet just works and not every site has "We're sorry, resource not found" message.
I think it doesn't display because the commenter used the "album" url: https://imgur.com/a/XRjTyIm.
The direct mp4 link to the underlying video works better.
And Lemmy doesn't support them, yet.
I don't think it will happen. Imgur used to be well supported by reddit because it was created for redditors. But since then they have done their own things, making the host function less convenient and they are not a reliable long term image storage anymore.
I think catbox is the new hotness
