How dare you.
Would be better not to give him the attention

The generation that has aged the absolute worst.
16 bit remains timeless and unbothered by time.
that opinion's not valid, you must just want attention!
I can't name one game on N64 that looks good and has any great sense of art design. Not one. on SNES I can name many, and even some on NES.
I can think of a few but none of them are 3D.
Which? I can't even think of any 2D games that look very good. Maybe Paper Mario. That'd be it.

Okay sorry that consoles in the 90's didn't have the technology of newer, sleeker consoles

End it.
Also, the controller for the N64 is the worst controller ever designed. There's no defending it objectively.
this is correct, I of course had my fun back then playing with mine and some games are still my favorite games from the N64, but nostalgia aside it was really blah
Yoshi's Story, I guess. Even though the game was ass. I never owned an N64 (skipped from SNES to PSX) so I wasn't exposed to it a great deal. My dad had one but I wasn't over there often.
Didn't realize you hated Paper Mario's art design that much.
SNES had lower tech than N64 but the games looked great
I don't. I already pointed out that it's probably the only good looking game that existed in N64's library.
Again, I recognize the need for these growing pains to happen. But it's still a really bad console IMO, not just because of the tech, but sensibilities around game design and art design were in kind of a bad place in that era

oh gosh I need to go back to work. I have so much free time right now since my company has all the other interns doing most stuff and it's not good. instead of using the time I just become lazier and less motivated to do anything ,_, I need a task or something.

Don't do this man.
You need to play more bad consoles then. N64 is nowhere on my list of worst consoles.
learn programming and help me with this crap!
It is for me. I can't think of many worse, unless we go to the really wierd ones I don't know much about, especially pre-NES
I'm guessing this guy never tried Virtual Boy, unfortunately I have, and it killed my eyes!!!
you could be my personal driver. Honestly I'm getting way to lazy to drive by myself. you would need to wear a hat though

confession time...I don't even have a car
or a driver's license. I'm afraid of operating larger vehicles ;_;
Pff Ass is life
Wtf. A former Girlfriend of mine was exactly the same, so far nobody I've met understood or shared her view. And now you are the same?
You seem to be the perfect pick for me then. From now on you are my personal driver.

I dunno that seems on par with a Youtube comment. Not better or worse.
You're not missing much. Driving sucks ass.
Being worse than YouTube comments is an accomplishment, also that's a ridiculous comment coming from him.
There are plenty. My only complaint with the N64 is the controller that requires 3 hands to fully utilize. Luckily most games were able to work around that. But outside of that, I don't see much of an issue. The games were fun and memorable. By today's standards the 3D models weren't great but back then they were okay since they were some of the first. I don't classify that as a growing pain. I'd classify the Virtual Boy as a growing pain since it wasn't very successful in its own time so it doesn't get the tech handicap bonus.
Any reason in particular or you just don't like the feel?

I don't have one either but at the same time it fucking sucks on relying on public transportation.
I had like 3 bad traffic accidents already, I'm prepared.
So if I'm late or don't show up to meetings I can say "my driver is at fault, she refuses to drive cars or get a license"
Seems like a perfect excuse

see, that's what I'm afraid of D:
haha clever boy! I should really work on overcoming that fear though. that could be my task! except getting a license in Germany is super expensive :/

I relied on taking the bus/walking up until around midway through high school. For me, the worst thing about driving is parking. I usually run into one of two problems: either it's impossible to find a space (usually on campus or somewhere popular with free parking) or it's expensive (Disneyland and Universal charge $18 just to park for the day and I don't have free parking on my pass anymore).

Getting a license in most of Europe seems prohibitively expensive and a huge time sink.
Here in the US, you can literally just walk into a DMV, take a driving test, and then pay like $40 for your license if you pass. You aren't required to take classes if you're 18 or over.

And the tests are very easy
Basically you can be an idiot and not know how to drive + be legal to drive
I was a bit crazy when I was young and I liked driving fast and that stuff... now I am always a bit scared of driving (this is, after all, the only time in my day I have a realitsic chance of being smashed by two tons of metal at any moment) and I dislike it
I never was hurt though, I'm like in Unbreakable. Though getting new cars everytime sucks.
In my experience, only if you want it, driving CAN be really stressfull, but if you want it and have some one as a co driver who keeps you calm it will be easy.
But yeah getting a license here is expensive, and now add even more money if you want your own car.
OH and PS: don't try to overcome that fear when you moved to Hamburg, people are driving crazy here.
Damn. I had to do lots of lessons and payed like 500€ and that is already considered cheap by many.
In theory the tests are easy but it completely depends on the mood of the instructor...
I got mine when I was 16, so I ran the whole gauntlet of classes where they show you videos of horrible car accidents, written tests, and 30+ hours of learner's permit training before I was actually able to take the driving tests. The most important thing that I learned is that location matters in taking the actual test, and after you pass you can throw most of what you learned out the window.
