This is my console. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My console is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

Without me, my console is useless. Without my console, I am useless. I must play my console true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will ...

My console and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we play, the noise of our winning a match, nor the mirth we make. We know that it is the games that count. We have games ...

My console is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its chips and its casing. I will keep my console clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will ...

Before God, I swear this creed. My console and I are the defenders of my favorite brand. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is Nintendo of America's and there is no enemy, but peace!

Simple, because it's using lines, or "vectors", to approximate 3D.

>> No.6694167

>>6694126
It isn't though. If you actually read, the lines you refer to there aren't the edges of polygons. They're textures on the surface of a polygon put there to indicate a road. Yes it's primitive, but remember this predates Mario Brothers. Not Super Mario Brothers, the original Mario Brothers. It does not use vector graphics, it's a regular 3D game. Your mention of vectors abd doubling down on the lines only highlights that you don't even know what you're looking at.

I wouldn't think so but you are uncommonly retarded. This is a fully functional 3D game from before the famicom was released. It's not even the tip but represents that 3D gaming has been around a long time and by the time of 4th gen was far more robust than the simple graphics I chose to show you. Only to highlight that this >>6691891 is an incredibly ignorant statement that would only be made by a clueless console fanboy with no knowledge of tbe rest of gaming.

I somehow feel the same way about PS1. I also prefer pick up and play/arcade style games, and PS1 doesn't really have much to offer in that regard, I go back to Saturn and N64 way more often, although to tell you the truth, I go back more to 4th and 3rd gen than 5th gen.

The funniest part of this thread, at least so far, has been the zoomer kid who misused the term "vector" and got his asshole blown the fuck out for it by another autist while he desperately tried to backpedal and run damage control.

Second place goes to the kiddo who thought making a reference to the Flintstones theme was clever and made him seem old. Bonus points when he used "bucko" in the same post, thinking this is something "boomers" say. This thread really is a gay old time, though. I'll give him that.
