Wow. I didn't think there were any humans left that hadn't played at least a little Zelda at some point.

Nope, I've never played it either. It just doesn't interest me.

I've never owned a Nintendo machine of any variety, for that matter.

Even though I think we have every system possible, I have never played any of them.

I love board games, but have zero interest in video games.

Maybe I burned out on too much Pac-Man and Donkey Kong years ago. (My Dad was the business manager of my prep school and as such would collect the money out of the machines in the student lounge during vacations. Since no one was around, he would put 100s of credits on the machines and just let us play).

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

well, I'm not entirely certain I am human.

I am a total Nintendo fangirl. I love me some Mario!!!

raises hand

But then, I've hardly played any video games AT ALL, and don't plan on starting.

Sadly, this is true.

Video games would take up time that I could spend playing with clothes or reading trashy vampire novels! A goth girl has to have her priorities!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

See, if they came up with a goth MMORPG, you might not ever get her off the computer! Virtual clothing design, no sewing needed!

Pfffft. But then *I* wouldn't have the clothes in real life, and I would get cranky. What good are pretend pixel clothes?

not your mom's socks.

unless you can design the clothes in the game, and have the option to have them delivered in real-time?
