Make things bad enough so people work for food.

Just imagine what kind of booze & drugs bender you have to be not to be recognised after 11 years by your own relative.

What if you are just a bit short, have to be on your toes and suddenly slip?

He's the guy responsible for the stickyness on the keyboard.

Social media, algorithms and echo chambers they create are 80% of the problem degrading societies.

Yes and means summer. Just haven't seen it used anywhere else, so had to ask.

Mario Cart was never great, It was OK.

It was the game you put on in pre-internet years for your younger relatives, so they don't have to just sit and fester all day while listening a story about your aunts hip surgery.

It was something anyone could pick up in a second and still be a challenge for anyone.

For most of them this was the only time they were able to play games with a larger group without their mothers bitching about game time. Many kids didn't even have gaming systems, because they were expensive and many parents thought they were a bad addictive influence, so for them this was an absolute delight.

So, fun memories about the game, even though the game itself isn't much.

Somehow those cultural influences still echo in the modern world. Dads with all that nostalgia convince their kids that Mario Kart is absolute classic.

Oh, thank you, but I'm closing on fifty.

Mine was the first generation to grew up with home gaming systems.
