I had the most profound experience last night playing super metroid on lsd- I realized something i've known for years but often forget. And its that snes was and always will be the greatest system of all time. Stuff before that era was too primitive by modern standards and stuff after focused too much on technology and less on the gameplay experience (of course theres major exceptions to both).

Theres a certain innocence of snes games that is unmatched, made before the internet was big, before everything was connected, before political division, before everything was super fucked up. The graphics and soundtracks are like beautifu mosaic clockwork.

I dont give a shit about modern gaming. I think overwatch is for fuckin losers, and that people who play whatever the next elder scrolls will be have way too much time on their hands. ps5 is going way too far with tech, and gaming has lost its roots. I'll never forget snes, and ill never forget this experience. When video games were good, and everything was right in the world. I hope I have children someday just so I can show them these games.

This is one of the cringiest threads that I've read on vr for a long time.
Wow, some nintenbabbie had a revelation that his SNES console is the greatest thing in the world whilst on drugs.

lol I wouldn't exactly call the SNES the psychedelic console of choice. That's why OP got all introspective while playing Super Metroid. He would have had just as good a time if not better with moderate drinking, which is the normalfag tier substance I think games on Nintendo consoles are most suited for.

If he'd been playing Rez or something he might have had a real breakthrough.

You could go paint on cave walls right now, doesn't make it a timeless pastime.

ALttP and SMAS are better than Zelda and SMB/2/3. Honestly, the SNES library crushes the NES library in every way, and is far more representative of peak 2d gaming. I get that contrarian gen x'ers are going to hate that, but their popularity today versus the NES titles can't be disputed. They just hold up far better by modern refined standards, meaning they're more 'timeless', unless you're arguing that vidya standards will regress in the future and thus NES shit will be more relevant.
