It's just one of those episodes that shows how good DS9 is at picking out absolutely fantastic writing. Season 1 isn't their best, but it still has some heavy hitters, and duet remains one the best episodes in the entire show.

of the fact that there are a lot of people that need to just, open themselves up to games and media that isn't going to remind them of the good times as a kid. Play something mature or experimental, something actually made for your age range. It's satisfying and stimulating.

Yeah, I agree. And I enjoy nintendo games, no shame in it. But i've made my peace with the fact that i'm not getting mature themes or whatever, they're fun games with silly, somewhat immature writing. But they are fun.

Honestly, this whole thing really does smack-

I guess i'm just not sure where the idea that nintendo makes adult-oriented, serious games came from, it's fine to dislike it, I suppose, It just seems weird people are somehow surprised at stuff like this at this point.
If that makes any sense? I'm really mostly confused that this is the response.

Like, if you've got a brand loyalty thing going on with nintendo, you are eventually gonna get kind of annoying or weird "kid stuff" eventually, that's just kinda part and parcel with the vibe of nintendo games, it's not subtle, either, really.
