well now you are bringing the hard questions. PS1 was a golden age of JRPGs you had FF7-9, SaGa Frontier, Legend of Mana, Lunar, Suikoden, Legend of Dragoon, Parasite Eve, Vagrant Story, you name it, and tons of great games that aren't RPGs too, Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Resident Evil--for raw quantity of game selection I'd have to give it to the PS1 even though the N64 had some of the greatest games of the generation like of course Zelda, Mario, Donkey Kong, absolute timeless classics and also lesser known absolute treasures like Jet Force Gemini, and of course Star Wars with Rogue Squadron and Shadows of the Empire. but as for which one is the better console I kind of think it's the N64. games always played more smoothly, felt more well constructed, less experimental with their graphics, just more clean and solidly designed.

cultural exchange on even ground is great, and enables art to grow and thrive in unprecedented ways. it becomes cultural appropriation when one side of that exchange is benefiting at the expense of the other, such as if a white person incorporates another culture's arts and aesthetics into their work and makes a profit off of it while the actual people those elements came from would be persecuted for expressing them, or when such cultural elements are taken carelessly without the user knowing their context and history and importance, and made into an empty trendy aesthetic robbing something sacred of its meaning. when you engage with another culture's art, religion, language, aesthetic, etc, you must do so respectfully, on their terms. if they say something belongs to their culture alone, respect that too and keep your hands off it, especially if you belong to their oppressor class, even if you mean them no harm. there are some cultural elements that translate and integrate well with others and there are some that truly can't be understood by people who haven't lived that culture, and it's always up to the owners of that culture to decide which is which.

it will not be a merciful process, but a slow and agonizing one, stretched out over generations. Earth will be dramatically changed--a mass extinction event, the great cities on the coastlines swept up by the ocean, plague and famine as we see less and less arable land, constant war as empires collapse and desperately try to cling to power. we'll curse g-d for not getting it over with all at once, dragging us through it day by day, but we will hurt more than anything knowing that it is entirely our own doing, and there is no one to blame but ourselves. we will not be wiped out entirely, we're just too resilient for that. a new era will follow our collapse, new cultures, new religions will be born from the suffering we cause and experience, and remember us in the lines of song and myth--the ancients, who destroyed the world.
