Yeah the NES came out when I was five, and all my friends kids and my family's kids are out of high school now. You can casually tell people you play video games and no one bats an eye anymore. More often they'll ask you what you're playing. It's nice.

Yeah, it’s nice that such a big cultural shift happened around this.
