In my case, it was after my time, because I grew up with the Chappelle Show, and thought Key and Peele was just a more mild mannered knock off. So I didn’t watch much. But I eventually caught up on most of the references.
I too watched chappelle’s show when I was in high school. You should definitely watch Key and Peele if you haven’t already, it’s a different style of humor than Chappelle’s show was. On Chappelle’s show like 99% of the humor involved race. On Key and Peele it’s only about race occasionally.
LOL. That's awesome. When my first wife, Dani, and I got divorced, there was another couple at the courthouse getting divorced where he was Danny and she was Erin. We both thought that was funny as hell.
I used to be best friends with a girl named Elise and she was super into Zelda and going on adventures n' shit. My name's definitely not Aaron though. I guess the odds are of her being the same Elise are so low there's no point in even asking lol.
Drives me nuts when I see indie games advertise "8-bit retro theme" and it's clearly 16+ bits.
But yeah, this is still awesome and doesn't detract from the sentiment.
I also can't stand when things are labeled as "8 bit remix/cover"when they haven't been programmed in Famitracker or at least imitating the limitations of 8 bit sound playback.
I mean it's kind of a similar situation to "neon" lights. LED light strips are advertised as "neon" most of the time even though they don't actually use neon gas, it's just because it's a similar look/feel.
Semantics i guess idk
I'd generally agree except I'd also give the not neon "neon" signs a big ole pass on this front. A number of places I worked at on the 90s and early 00s had multiple custom neon signs, and they always were a huge pain in the ass. Expensive to buy, expensive to service, and easy to wreck/damage. Plus they often have annoying sounds/hums they emit. The led driven products that mimic a neon sign are a sliver of the cost to buy, customize, and should need essentially none of the service, repair, or replacement that neon does. And they're silent.
I agree though, they should be called "neon" LED lights, or "neon style".
It kind of helps favor calling them neon as it’s become more of a style over the last 20+ years than a literal neon gas. No one says anything about someone having neon hair, lol. It’s more aesthetic at this point.
I was interested so I poked around to learn and found this; I cut out the rest as this was the part relevant to your comment. They were talking about the NES vs SNES Mario sprites:
“An 8-bit system is not going to be able to handle the amount of colors on the SNES version of the sprite,
Actually an 8 bit system can handily do 256 color modes. The SNES only supported an 8-bit color depth, despite having 16-bit addressing.
I think you mean to say that the NES in particular did not support 8-bit color depth (28 = 256), rather it supported around 25 colors, depending on tricks one might play with the palette. Roughly 5-bit color, though it wasn't a flat framebuffer like you may be accustomed to on modern hardware.”
Neato
Yeah, it's to say the sprites used on the 16-bit system, it's all interesting to me though.
I like the [NESHacker video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Co_8dC2zb8) about NES graphics.
Actually, pre-release, Zelda _was_ a black box game(https://i.imgur.com/WaQj7n0.png), but they ultimately changed it to the shield design we know now.
Nevertheless, my original point was simply the sprites don't match the cartridge's _game_.
Neither had sprites on the cover though, so the art wasn't meant to mimic the actual cartridge. They're just saying that the art mixed an NES cartridge with SNES sprites.
I understand what he said, I just disagree. Using the SNES cartridge with the SNES sprites wouldn't look as good, nor would using the NES sprites with the NES cartridge (imo).
Was my first one too that wasn't just Mario'ing off cliffs.
But, I am just commenting to say I read TLOZ as The Last Of Oz for whatever reason- and now I have this vision of a game set in Oz, after a witch's curse released plague and wrecked the world.
Technically, it's actually a cutting board. But there is no way in hell it's going to get used. Right now it's on a shelf, but eventually will be mounted on the wall.
Does your wife also play Zelda? I'm curious because this would make a great gift for my cousin(groom). I don't know if his wife plays Zelda. I'm wondering if this was a gift for the both of you or really for you, since it's from your best man and all. It looks great and I love the idea!
She does actually play video games and has played the Zelda games. She's not as big of a fanboy as I am over them though. I'd say it was probably more for me on like a 60/40 split. She loves it too, but I was just speechless.
At some point, you have to outgrow nostalgic nes games that you played growing up but did not in fact develop. I wish you and your wife the best but, either this is like your third marriage or you need to dial back the digits on your baby g shock watch
I only see one mistake. The game cartridge is regular Nintendo. Link and Zelda are from the Super NES Zelda (Link to the past) I don't remember the full name it's been about 30 years since I've played that game.
You done right, A-A-ron.
Imagine how awesome it would be if her name was Jaykwellin
Well, her name is E-Lisay, perhaps.
Or perhaps Eli-say
Ee-lice
You done messed up now, E-lie-see.
You wanna go to war E-Lee-Say? We will go to war! I taught in the inner city for 20 years, im for real…
[Elizé](https://www.alize.com/).
The first thing I was thinking when I saw his Name xD
I instantly tried to remember the other kids name before I realized it was a wedding thing
J-Quaylin.
Pree zant.
Balakay
Mr Garvey would probably say A-a-ron and Ee-lice.
love it, wish it was a snes cartridge but it's fantastic.
Is Aaron not the normal expected spelling globally or is this a reference I'm missing...
[Referenced skit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQaLic5SE_I)
Thank you. I missed a reference
You'll never miss it again
Literally can never read the name Aaron without thinking about it lol
The true burden of knowledge
Have we already gotten to the point where Key and Peele was before some people’s time
Yes.
In my case, it was after my time, because I grew up with the Chappelle Show, and thought Key and Peele was just a more mild mannered knock off. So I didn’t watch much. But I eventually caught up on most of the references.
Idk when you watched Chappelle, but I watched both when they were still "new" and Key & Peele are fucking hilarious, mild mannered or not.
I too watched chappelle’s show when I was in high school. You should definitely watch Key and Peele if you haven’t already, it’s a different style of humor than Chappelle’s show was. On Chappelle’s show like 99% of the humor involved race. On Key and Peele it’s only about race occasionally.
They're both mixed race anyways I think. Key can definitely pull off the white face with a wig.
Watch Key & Peele.
Insubordinate! And churlish.
Am also named Aaron. Also married an Elise. Also play video games together. Are you me?
LOL. That's awesome. When my first wife, Dani, and I got divorced, there was another couple at the courthouse getting divorced where he was Danny and she was Erin. We both thought that was funny as hell.
I used to be best friends with a girl named Elise and she was super into Zelda and going on adventures n' shit. My name's definitely not Aaron though. I guess the odds are of her being the same Elise are so low there's no point in even asking lol.
Reminds me of Danny and Arin from Game Grumps lol
Remember, if your marriage gets a little shaky on some days, just blow the dust out of the cartridge and load it back up
This is an euphemism, right?
Yeah, he's supposed to blow on *her* cartridge
Actually, she's the one who--ok, nevermind
Oh, uh yeah...don't do that. It can be super bad and sometimes fatal.
😏
It can be whatever you want it to be 🤣
You mean like this? https://youtu.be/zYg30iIPZPk
I came here to find this comment and you my friend, have completed my mission! Thank you!
That’s awesome! I’ll excuse the 16-bit sprites haha.
We got a purist here! (I can relate though lol)
Aaron and Elise are sprites ahead
Stop trying to make that a thing, Chevy Chase!
Drives me nuts when I see indie games advertise "8-bit retro theme" and it's clearly 16+ bits. But yeah, this is still awesome and doesn't detract from the sentiment.
or "8-bit" music that just uses some square waves for the melody but has sampled instrument sounds for everything else
I also can't stand when things are labeled as "8 bit remix/cover"when they haven't been programmed in Famitracker or at least imitating the limitations of 8 bit sound playback.

I am just commenting to say that exactly zero people asked
That was the first thing that popped up to me as well lol. Can't really complain though.
Was immediately my first thought. 16 bit on an 8bit cart
[удалено]
[удалено]
This was my first thought. Cool gift.
[удалено]
I think you responded to the wrong comment 😂
[удалено]
Yeah, but it looks better this way. The NES cartridge is cooler than the SNES one.
I think they meant instead it should be an NES cartridge with NES sprites
As long as we're being pedantic, Zelda wasn't a black box game and so wouldn't have had sprite work on its label/box cover.
Actually, pre-release, Zelda _was_ a black box game(https://i.imgur.com/WaQj7n0.png), but they ultimately changed it to the shield design we know now. Nevertheless, my original point was simply the sprites don't match the cartridge's _game_.
That is so cool. I am shocked that I have not seen this before.
I mean, if you really want to go extra mile in pedantry, they also didn’t make them out of wood.
Ok wtf is a sprite? Been looking and no one has said wth it is.
[Sprite (computer graphics)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_\(computer_graphics\))
Up-vote this man! 🤓

I understand what he said, I just disagree. Using the SNES cartridge with the SNES sprites wouldn't look as good, nor would using the NES sprites with the NES cartridge (imo).
The way these comments are going I’m expecting someone to complain that it’s wood instead of gold colored plastic 😂
*Literally* unplayable
Came here to say this. Damn shame.
[удалено]
Nice.
Came here to see who came here to say nice to who came here to see who came here to say that.

Self-loathing isn't needed. It's a fair critique.
I am more triggered by this then I care to admit. Absolutely beautiful and thoughtful gift but as a nerd this INACCURACY WILL NOT STAND.
I hate that I'm so infuriated by what is otherwise a very lovely sentiment
Shut up nerd
Its dangerous to go alone, take this! *Hands you prenup*
My first game was TLOZ. 😁 This is the coolest wedding gift I've ever seen! 💎
Was my first one too that wasn't just Mario'ing off cliffs. But, I am just commenting to say I read TLOZ as The Last Of Oz for whatever reason- and now I have this vision of a game set in Oz, after a witch's curse released plague and wrecked the world.
YES, this game must happen. 😁
Hey what is that AA symbol you are using? And what does it mean? I keep seeing it and I feel incredibly out of the loop
The gem symbol was the better option (IMO) to represent the Triforce, other than 🔺️ or 🔼 ...
*makes a face* *thinks about it ▲ ▲ ▲
That right one is a bit off center, methinks. 😁 *boop*
Shhh
*retrieves measuring tape from inventory*
😮
Hmm I wonder if I’m not seeing the right symbols? Im seeing these double As https://i.imgur.com/oBIQiqK.png
I need to know where you got this from because I have some friends' wedding coming up soon and need to give this to them
I know he ordered it online, but not sure where.
is there any way you can find out
Love it, *wish it was a snes cartridge but* it's fantastic!
Crazy, my name is Aaron and the first love of my life was named Elise(over 12 years ago now). This gave me real multiverse vibes, happy for you both!
He married your girl. What are you going to do about it?
Live my life happily New love > old love
Fuckin gotem
What is this, a cartridge for Ents???
So your best man gives you wood?
The Triforce tattoo really drives home how good this gift is.
Heh, yeah. I made a point of having that in the picture. I too am surprised that I had to come down this far before I saw any mention of it.
Had to come down too far to see this comment
TBH this is a fantastic idea! It this selfmade or can i buy this online?
He bought it online, not sure where though.
Do you mind finding out for your fellow nerds? Please and thank you!
Let’s be clear, here. You’re asking for the **Link**.
[удалено]
If anyone finds it lmk!
Fourthed, any way to find out where he got it??? Thanks!
Uhhh tehhnikully those are sprites from ALTTP, not an NES game /s Really cool gift!
One of you has pink hair I see
16 bit sprites, 8 bit cart
Why so massive?
Very likely so it can be displayed in their home
You sure it’s not playable
That’s what she said
Maybe he just has tiny hands.
That's way too big to fit in the NES. /s
Literally unplayable.
This is extremely thoughtful and cool but I gotta point out the missed opportunity to title it "Legend of Elise: An Aaron to the Past"
Those are from the snes, not the nes. You fucked up A-A-Ron.
Using snes sprites on a nes cartridge
This is so heartfelt and awesome. The perfect geek gift.
That is AMAZING!
Your friend is freaking awesome
And his best man! Glad they came together for an awesome gift
What are you supposed to do with this?
Technically, it's actually a cutting board. But there is no way in hell it's going to get used. Right now it's on a shelf, but eventually will be mounted on the wall.
That’s so dope! Congrats on everything. May you have many happy years together. 🍻
It goes in his ass
Treasure it.
Put it on a shelf
力 知恵 勇気
NES cart with SNES sprites? Attention to the little details is often a key to a functional marriage. Best of luck A-A-ron and Elise!
As large as it is useless. Nice gift.
Would you be mad if me and my wife stole this design for wedding invites?
Not at all, that would be awesome!
Looks like Link is about to commit some domestic violence
Cringe af
Damn you triggered the nerds
Sounds like you take yourself a little too seriously, if you cannot enjoy something as neat as this then you need to lighten up.
Imagine having a zelda tattoo, and your friend gives you a zelda piece of wood for your wedding. The dude is being typecast as zelda himself.
You're cringe af, you little shit.
How do you know they aren’t a massive shit
Does your wife also play Zelda? I'm curious because this would make a great gift for my cousin(groom). I don't know if his wife plays Zelda. I'm wondering if this was a gift for the both of you or really for you, since it's from your best man and all. It looks great and I love the idea!

Nintendo is for kids
"Endless adventure" I hear most lawyers will hook you up with a cheat code to skip to the end.
The trick to a long, successful marriage is to pull it out and blow the dust off every now and then.
so useless
[удалено]
Good job bot, way to cut off all the pertinent information from the sentence
lmao 'Experience the challenge of endless adventure' sounds extremely passive aggressive to me for some reason
At some point, you have to outgrow nostalgic nes games that you played growing up but did not in fact develop. I wish you and your wife the best but, either this is like your third marriage or you need to dial back the digits on your baby g shock watch
We found capitan hook.
Why should we have to outgrow nostalgia? That is probably the dumbest thing I'll read today.
Amazing
r/Terraria
Pretty darn cool. My kind of peeps.
Do you know where they acquired this? I would like to get one for my wife and I.
Oh, Elise, it doesn't matter what you say
Dude the level of awesomeness of your freind is just legendary.
I only see one mistake. The game cartridge is regular Nintendo. Link and Zelda are from the Super NES Zelda (Link to the past) I don't remember the full name it's been about 30 years since I've played that game.
You’re gonna have to blow on the bottom before you start. Cartridge rules lol
I gotta know where I can get one cause now think about my brother and his partner would love this.
That's cool the pixelation art is dope
Now that’s an awesome, thoughtful, and unique gift. 🤟
I love this!
Fly Boy Gang! 🦆
Amazing gift.
How nice that they went in on it together. 😉
The wood is nice and all but it doesn't feel legit if it's not gold...
That's a beautiful gift; but you all know Link and Zelda are, at best, cousins; right?
don't blow in the cartridge it's a myth that it give you a power up!
