I don't intend to brigade them or anything, but I definitely read the subtext Penelope mentions and it was hurtful

An extremely bigoted game reviewer with exactly one good take, which is that people don't look at Nintendo's oeuvre and the shitty things they do with clear eyes, because they project a Mr. Rogers-esque wholesomeness and sense of childish wonder onto the company

Oh yeah the Nintendo/Apple comparison is good Especially since both companies got a lot of mileage out of comparing themselves to the soulless hacks at Microsoft

It's a whole thing with buying your own hype, like there's obviously evil companies that make capitalism look bad because all they make is derivative ripoffs of other people's work But capitalism is honestly more insidious when it wears that Andrew Ryan mask of the Lone Genius

Mr. Yamauchi, who never really did know very much about games but had a ruthless capitalist instinct (the Jobs) had the good/bad luck to hook up with Shigeru Miyamoto, a genuine once-in-a-generation eccentric genius (the Wozniak) That's all you need to start a cult

Generations of gamers being like "THEY CREATED SUPER MARIO BROTHERS YOU UNGRATEFUL PEONS" over every single shitty creepy thing the company does PS and XBox carrying the stink of uncoolness the same way that IBM PC-compatibles did for Macheads, or Android phones still do

It's actually really funny to think about the fact that Mr. Yamauchi was the third in his line, the grandson of the *original* Mr. Yamauchi, who founded Nintendo in the fucking 19th century as a company that printed playing cards It's like the CabbageCorp joke in Legend of Korra

My friend got me a set of hanafuda cards that happen to be made by Nintendo. Crazy that they still make them. (And no, I still haven't learned to play.)
