So over peoples' nostalgia fests for the shitty 80s and 90s. What was the 80s and 90s except the Blackest Reaction? There's nothing there worth salvaging, but the shitty Reaganite media is constantly repackaged so we remember shmaltzy bullshit entertainment that sucked back then.
The most hilarious was people remembering overpriced video games on underpowered hardware that were also largely pretty shit, made somewhat less apparent because video games were a novel form and something as primitive as the NES was ridiculously advanced compared to Atari.
Yes, I totally enjoyed nagging my mom to pay 80 bux in 1995 dollars for a video game you'd probably play for a few weeks, because games were starting to be designed with no replay value in mind. Then the whole JRPG craze which was just mindbogglingly stupid.
Maybe if real life weren't such total dogshit, there wouldn't be the nostalgia for these movies and media that were obviously pretty garbage. Video games only get something of a pass because it was for a time one of the few media that weren't ideological. Mario isn't ideology.
And yes I just shat on the whole thing of video gaming, but Mario was one of the few series that deliberately chose to not become ideological or infected with "newthink". Mario is just there to run, jump, save the princess, and always kept the focus where it had to be.
Needless to say, video games today are mostly concentrated cancer and nostalgia. The references to older games are sometimes cute if done well (Mario Odyssey is pretty nice in this regard), but usually it's just a cynical cash grab like remaking Final Fantasy for the 100th time.
The problem with all this nostalgia is it completely ignores material reality. For one, the post-war world had conscription and hence very limited "freedoms". Of course it wasn't feudal (peasants had no "free" personal life) but that debt-feuled "bliss" ain't shit either.
