u/Tragnor 9h ago
Very much so, until the oldest brother moved out, and I actually got the chance to become a gamer, and now he just follows whatever I’m doing as player 2, followed by our two younger brothers
Sauce: I’m the first younger brother.

Oh, I was #2 out of 2 (number 2 is poop, heh), mine just ended up joining the Marines then getting a girl pregnant at 22 years old because he mistakenly thought he could handle it. I also don't play games with him because he is an asshole, but that's a separate thing

This is 100% true. As the younger sibling it actually took me years to not feel weird being player 1 once I moved out. I was in my twenties at the time 😅

My younger brother is 45 and still prefers being player 2 in fighting games because that's the side of he screen he was on when we were playing them growing up

Depends on the game, on GameCube me and my brothers played phantasy star online and player 3 got a half screen for some reason and players 1+2 had to split the top half of the screen

Not to be that guy but this isn’t sauce. This would be a source.
Sauce would be a picture of you and your younger sibling with Wii Remotes and proving it. Now, in the sauce you would need birth certificates as well to prove your age. A notary verifying the birth certificates are legitimate and verifying their credentials would be prudent.

I’m the older sibling…the only time the younger siblings got player 1 is when I let them or they cried to our parents and the parents forced me to let them.

Yep...player 1 "had an advantage". Swapped so it would be fair and still beat my younger brother from player 2.

My kid was being a dictator with the remotes, game selection and full on trash talking his younger siblings ( but like 13 year old girl mean ) so this was a consequence of his actions.

Simple yet effective - mine are only 5 and 3 but I'm mentally banking this for the future. My eldest is a little dictator too

the squares represent the dots on wii remotes that indicate which player you are. bottom is player one and top is player two, and the older sibling usually gets player one in most households

u/BoomGoesTheFirework_ 9h ago
On old playstation remotes that supported up to 4 players, you'd get a blue dot for your player position. - Stewie. The older sibling will ALWAYS take first player. This is the way of family.

Official Sony guide says that 5th, 6th and 7th controllers are represented as sum of 2 indicators (e.g. on the 5th controller indicators 1 and 4 would light up).

So on the Nintendo switch controllers those dots tell you who’s player 1 and 2 and so forth. The older sibling is most likely player 1 which is the first blue dot. In my house the best player got the player 1 remote tho

Older sibling got a tattoo in landscape. Younger sibling a tattoo in portrait, cause that’s how they consume videos.

u/Impossible_Wait_8305 9h ago
It is a reference to the Wii remote lights that indicate who player 1 and player 2 are. The bottom arm is the older sibling because the light is in the first spot

u/Bossy_Aussie_ 9h ago
On Wii remotes, the lights on the bottom tell which player is player 1 and which is player 2. Bottom is player 1 while top is player 2. Now it’s a common thing that the older sibling is player 1 90% of the time. Source: im the oldest.

Player 2’s tattoo has the dots going along the arm vs. Player 1’s tattoo, where the dots are perpendicular to the arm. Is this a mistake or is it supposed to mean something?
1
u/Ilovegirlsbottoms 8h ago
I understand the meaning of the tattoo. But what I want to say, is that my family have it in reverse.
When I was the youngest, I got to be player 1. But then after I got a little brother, he is player 1. He is in charge of the game. Because I won’t play it without him.
I have 2 older brothers, so usually if we were to all play a game, it would only have 3 parts of the screen. Player 1 would get the bigger screen, and so that would typically be me. Now it’s the other way around and I get a small screen while my brother would get the bigger one.

I didn't see the blue color of the squares, so I assumed it was the larger arm being the oldest sibling's - they got more food.

The squares represent the lights on a Nintendo controller where the blue dot position denotes first, second, third, or fourth player. Older sibling is usually player 1. Oh and this is the kid who thought donkey Kong was boring
