Who remembers the #ConsoleWars those days when we had to choose up sides between #XBox and #PlayStation with #PC and #Nintendo as collateral damage?? Also who remembers #pokemon Gen1? Red and blue? Gen 2? Silver and Gold?

I contend that which gen 1 game you played (to a lesser extent gen 2) predicted your side on the war. (Choose the Pokémon game and console you felt most connected to)

@mdmrn When I was a kid I'd have been on Genesis side. Buuuuut I think this whole question is asinine today since I'm not pro- any corporation. Everyone at the table is a fan of video games and any division is fabricated to create brand loyalty, something that helps corporations and no one else.

The #ConsoleWars aren't and weren't a thing and I don't think anyone should promote that term that draws lines where people should be coming together.

The year is 1992. You and your friends are sitting and arguing around the lunch table. Fighting words have been thrown as the #ConsoleWars come to blows disrupting the peaceful lunch room.

We have Sonic and Mario fans all ready to battle. There's some kid in the corner swinging a sandwich around yelling something about Bonk.

Which side are you on?

Having to use my PS4 devkit via Remote Viewer because the DS4 controller won't power up when plugged directly into the kit but will when plugged into the PC. I can only assume it's a battery issue. I wonder how many DS4 have gone to landfill because their batteries are dead?

That's at least one way that the Xbox is better than the Playstation. AAs for the win.
