thinking that mario 64 hasn't aged well is the most ignorant opinion you can possibly have about video games. people always say the camera is bad but it really, really isn't. then you have every single other aspect of the game which are practically flawless. sure you could make a few tweaks here and there, but what game couldn't you do that to? it's still an absurdly good game, one of the greatest of all time.

i hate, hate, hate when people intentionally omit things you say or add in things you didn't say in order to make it sound like they're in the right. over the most petty shit too.

Here's a small anecdotal window into why everyone my age is "lazy":
Rent is ~$1600 split between three roommates. If one of us flakes or leaves, the other two sink- and yes, it's the cheapest place in town which isn't dangerous. I've looked everywhere else.
I work two jobs because no employer can afford to give workers benefits for working full time. I've had to hop jobs regularly this past year because they repeatedly cut hours or else asked me to come in on short notice which conflicted with my other job and school time. Everyone wants on-call employees but can't or won't pay for it.​ Also keep in mind all these jobs were found via contacts and networking; I wouldn't even *have* income if I were to try applying online as I would have been filtered by HR bots.
I'm currently in debt for school (STEM) which is the biggest expense I have, but it's my only real shot out of the crab bucket so I persist. I've fought hard to keep a 4.0 GPA which I use to fuel my form of gambling- scholarships- which I write on company time.
I ride share or walk everywhere because I couldn't afford a car, and now I finally have one I can't afford to repair it, so I'm scraping what little earnings I take home to afford that, which means forgoing beef and niceties like most hobbies. Any unexpected costs like a medical emergency would immediately force me to drop out and move back in with family and many don't have that kind of safety net.
"Success/Failure to launch" is now completely up to luck. For those that see it realize it's not worth the effort, choose to never even try, and just NEET off the government and their parents.

@veff @DW2 Didn't realize how good I had it splitting $1000 three ways while driving a boomers 100% functional 98 corolla that he sold to me for $2500. Didn't realize that would be the best it would ever be. Made money off crypto too. Young people literally need better conditions that's all there is to it. No amount of hardwork will make up for it.
