i remember staying up really late with my friends during a sleepover, trying to stay quiet as to not wake our parents, as we pulled out our DS’s to try and beat eachother at mario kart.
my friend always brought a cartridge for me bc i didn’t own a mario kart game but we had a blast together.
it was the silent way in saying “i love you, friend” that we could never say out loud.
my friends would also play a lot of splatoon when it first came out. i didn’t have a wii u but i was just content to watch. They didn’t believe me but i was genuinely enraptured by them playing and bantering together and me sitting there in the middle just happy to watch.
theres a lot of memories i have from the ds servers.
i love you video games. you help me show how much i love my friends one blue shell at a time 💝
