I still do this, I thought it was a regional dialect.

>>12722327
It was always pronounced Rie-yew before the retcon.

For me it was RYE-YOU, equal emphasis.

Tapes was just easier and you got them from the same place (the video store)

I could see some normies calling all controllers "remotes" after the success of the Wii.

It's pronounced リュウ
>>
>>12722331
We used to call them "Main Guys"
>>
When I was a kid we called arcades "flippers"
The final bosss was the "last guy"
If you had no lives left you were on life zero
You didn't grab coins, you ate them
Shoulder buttons were the "blocks"
The snes was just the "super"
What's a cartridge? They're cassettes
>>
>>12724479
You sound British.
>>
>>12724296
Yeah. It's the opposite of wall outlets where people call them plugs all the time when the plug is what goes into the outlet.
>>
>>12722327
Paddles and controllers are two entirely different things you retard
>>
>>12724506
sounds brown actually

>>12724685
Yeah, like Britain since the 80s
>>
>>12722327
People here still call controllers "joysticks".
>>
>>12724296
Those are just "connectors"
>>
>>12724249
I forgot that was even a thing but can confirm.

Some fag correct me and said it was Ree-you, also called our American badass gully.
>>
>>12722373
I had friends that did this too. "Pass me the remote" maybe for remote control? Idk it always bothered me. I say controller.
>>
>>12724296
In all honesty I still don't know what these are actually called, I've heard so many different names for them over the years I have devolved to just telling people "the yellow red or yellow white and red cables" because I never know what pet name they have for them.
>>
>>12724993
Composite cable or RCA cable. Phono connector isn't necessarily wrong either because RCA originally released them to connect phonographs.
>>
>>12722921
I knew someone who called every console a Gameboy.
>>
>>12725018
Off the top of my head in addition to what you said I have heard them called RF cables, Coax cables, stereo jacks, cinch cables AV cables, RGB connectors. I dunno why it seemed like everyone had their own pet name for them.
>>
>>12722327
This is literally zoomers.
You’re not fooling anyone OP you fucking day walker

It's Gaw-lie

>>12724321
those old b&w TVs had remotes that had a clicking mechanism inside them before they came membranes
>>
>>12724296
We always called them av cables.
>>
>>12724296
"the colored cables"

>>
>>12724268
To ever call anything a Game Pak, you had to be one massive douchebag.
>>12724771
Probably the most common boomerism (along with normalfag moms who called every video game console a Nintendo(>>12722921). I even knew a couple of kids (late genx, early millennial) that would call them tapes.
>>12722327
>calls levels "boards"
Also stages and waves. But "boards" was definitely the most boomer term for it.
>>
>>12726547
>Game Pak
Wasn't that the official term for Nintendo home console carts?
>>
>>12726570
Yes but no one ever called them that. Anon was probably just being silly.
>>
Did anyone ever called lives a "try"?
It made so much sense in my head, until a friend corrected me.
I'm not sure if someone taught me this or I just made up the term myself.
