We can argue about this all day but we should probably find something better to do in the short time we have left before we crash into the sun according to this diagram

That's all true but I still think the N64 is firmly "vintage" for many, many years now. Eras in home gaming certainly last longer, but we're pretty clearly in the era started by the 360/PS3/Wii era. Older than the PS2/Xbox/GC era I'd be comfortable calling vintage/retro. Even those are starting to become "retro"
I mean it was a turn of an era for sure. But really there have been other eras since in the nearly 30 years since the N64. Gaming is very little like it was then. I'd say the 360/PS3/Wii era was the transition point into the modern console era. Digital distribution, online gaming (which yes existed before but wasn't really ubiquitous until this gen), and the advent of media center/console hybrids. All the major changes since then are really just iteration.
Look at media references to gaming in more recent times. Usually it's someone playing an online game. Oftentimes with a headset throwing childish insults to a 12 year old on the other side.
retro implies pre-3D
I think any societal consensus puts N64 firmly, like unquestionably in retro status.
The N64 is older to us than the Atari 2600 was when the N64 came out. By almost a decade.
I feel like it had far less of an expansive library than the GC.

Biden is self defeating. I don't see how he can win at this point. 2020 was pretty close.
The reddest of flags
Definitely don't. They might be able to run some tools that try to pull files from corrupt file systems but they definitely don't have the specialty skills and knowledge on how to recover physically damaged hard disks.

There have been five wars fought between Israel and its neighbors in the last fifteen years. Over that time, and before, there have been thousands of diplomats from around the world working on a variety of plans to bring peace and stability to the region, and hundreds of conferences. They have all failed.
Today, the situation in the area is more horrific, more brutal, more inhumane, and more dangerous than ever before. I wish I could tell you that I had some magic solution, or five-point plan to resolve this never-ending crisis. I don’t. But this I do know.
The barbarous terrorist act committed by Hamas against innocent men, women, and children in Israel was a horrific act that must be strongly condemned by the entire world. There is absolutely no justification for shooting down hundreds of young people at a music festival, killing babies in cold blood and taking hostages. In my view, the state of Israel has the absolute right to defend itself against Hamas' terrorism.
It is also clear that this attack will only embolden the extremists on both sides who see violence as the only answer. It also creates the immediate possibility of a wider war in the area with unforeseen and dangerous consequences.
But in the midst of the terrorism, the missiles and bombs being exploded daily, and a hospital in Gaza being destroyed, there is another humanitarian disaster that is unfolding. Today, as a result of an Israeli evacuation order, hundreds of thousands of innocent and desperate people in Gaza are facing inhumane and life-threatening conditions. These are people who have been driven from their homes, who have no food, water, or fuel, who don’t know where they are going or who will accept them or if they will ever again return to their homes. And I would remind you that half of those people are children.
Last night, on the floor of the Senate, I blocked an effort on the part of some Republicans to prevent desperately needed humanitarian aid from the United Nations and other relief agencies from getting to these Palestinians.
In these very difficult times, we cannot turn our backs on these innocent men, women and children who are desperately trying to survive. That is not what this country must ever be about.
I hope you'll watch and share it today:

My coworkers know I'm going to Cuba next month and one said it's a shame I'm bringing my GF and said they'd just sit back with mojitos, a cigar, and a prostitute.
Yeah what the fuck
