Hmm, is this the first chapter where there might actually be a legitimate argument?

While a lot of games are pretty trash, it still took the work of multiple people to put them to market and usually have at least 1 redeeming quality. Also, a game being bad is a subjective viewpoint and is debatable among multiple people.

On the other hand, a lot of Famicom games were completely broken, did not function as intended due to bad programming and are total wastes of space and money.

I think I'm still 1-5 on Blondie's arguments (only the Dragon Quest one was good), but this one was a decent try.

I get what she's saying but sometimes if a company makes a product where youths spend their limited hard earn cash & it turns out to be nothing what they expect it to be, they have every right to be disappointed. Hell I remember a time where I bought Mario is Missing & found out it was an educational game, I was so sad. Also special mention to Superman 64 because I really tried to beat that one regardless of the bad flight controls. Thanks for the translations.

All of the blonde's arguments are all terrible. Sure, there are some widely written off shitty games you could apply the argument to, not all LJN is awful and some are just easy targets for shallow players trying to score internet points but far more often they were and still are cynical cash grabs by indifferent devs for greedy property holders.
That glasses keeps not rolling her eyes and laughing derisively at the crass corporate suck offs that are delivered with each chapter makes this a frustrating read. But I am a sucker and will be back next time too.
