Yeah, I don’t really understand all these people talking about how it’s unusual. When I was a teenager and I liked a girl, I’d do everything I could to impress her.
“Oh, you said in passing you like this candy? I’ll get you a whole box! Oh, you reminisced about having a furby? I scoured every thrift store in the area to find this one for you! You want to buy this thing? Let me do it! I can do it!”
It’s definitely way too much, to the point where it’s probably creepy, but that’s just how the teenage brain works. They understand enough to know how to show you care, but they don’t understand enough to know that too much of a good thing can be bad.
Yeah, I know everyone thinks the generation they grew up with is the best, but I really think the PS2 was the golden age. 3D games were new enough that developers did a lot of experimentation and took risks to made a bunch of really interesting and fun games that would never get made by a big studio today, and the graphics were far enough along that a lot of the games still look really good, especially the ones that leaned into the limitations and used stylized cell shading instead of trying to make it look realistic.
