[Good news the person who has been watching is Noah, who freezes up when he's spoken to because all he can do is panic about others talking to him at any one moment. Also he has no idea what this game is.]

Um... s-sure, but... I've never played this game. We don't have these where I come from.

[kingofscience]

It's easy, don't worry. [ He scoots up a chair for Noah before sitting back down and passing off the controller to him. ]

You move Mario with this joystick, you move the view around with the other one, and this button is the jump! There's a couple other things, but I'll let you take a shot at it and see what happens.

[I'm going to break everyone's hearts but like Noah, I have never played Super Mario 64. It's because when I was little I was scared of the chomps, anyway,

Noah is trying his best here and he just assumes that Mario is the red dude he's playing and runs around confused for quite a while trying to learn the controls, and also he will not stop jumping. This has hilarious consequences when he miscalculates and yeets himself off a cliff.]

You guys just get these games — oh there I go again — these game things where you all come from, huh? I'd probably have wasted my entire childhood on video games if we had them.

[Ngl Elrios kinda sucks.]

[ Oh, you and me both; I just picked a 90's game and ran with it honestly don't worry KDFJSDFA

Senku can't help but to chuckle as he watches Noah pilot Mario off the side of a cliff. It's all part of trial and error after all! But he will help Noah out when he needs it. ]

Heh, yeah. Earth has a knack for inventing entertaining things that eat up your time. A good chunk of us would be bored out of our minds otherwise. [ They don't have much in the way of superpowers or magic abilities on his Earth. (Well, as far as Senku knows at least.) So humans had to pass the time somehow. ]

There's all kinds of games too! You've got adventure games, comedy games, action, horror- a whole bunch really.

[silentabyss]

Horror games, huh...

[That seems to get Noah's interest.]

Can games like this really be scary? ...Do people actually enjoy scaring themselves?

[The answer is yes, and Noah is obviously one of those kids who would have grown up doing it, honestly. Anyway, despite his disbelief, he's definitely interested in that as a genre. The chomps simply aren't scaring him, see, and he's gotten fairly good at avoiding them.]

[kingofscience]

Oh yeah, it's a whole thing. Back on my world, people would play games and others would watch them play for entertainment. Sometimes they play horror games; people like watching others getting the crap scared out of them, and some like being surprised. Well, so long as it isn't like actual life-threatening danger.

[ Though, he is picking up the sense that Noah's interested in those types of games from his reaction. ]

If any pop up around here, I'll definitely let you know.
