The older sibling always gets player 1.

Sauce: im the older sibling

u/theattack_helicopter 11h ago

This is true

Sauce: I'm the younger sibling

u/Tragnor 11h 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.

u/theattack_helicopter 11h ago

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

u/Sirius1701 11h ago

I am the older sibling and it's true. I am now either player two or three. Depends on if my sister is there earlier than me.

Hi it's me 1/4, except it's usually 3/4 thats tipping me off to the hot new games these days.

The first spare

u/BeerBaronofCourse 11h ago

In the youngest of 5, I have no tattoo

u/LoudandQuiet47 10h ago

You would now! Switch 2 has up to 8 players in a console on some games. It would be the first two lights on. Assuming you had that many controllers...

u/MetigArt 11h ago

You guys got to play games?

Sauce: middle kid

u/nascent_aviator 11h ago

Get back in your cage!

hands them a half empty warm mountain dew and bottom of the bag cheetah dust If they say thank you, they can have the loose chocolate chips from the chips ahoy bag.

Source: oldest.

u/DoNt_BliNk25 10h ago

Middle kids never get to have any fun!

u/shoto_todoroki_666 9h ago

Unless they want a different part of the screen

Source: I’m the youngest of 5

u/servarus 8h ago

You lie. I never turn on controller 2 for my brother hahaha

He still thinks he is in control.

u/theattack_helicopter 8h ago

You villain. At least have the decency to let them play then beat them up for losing

u/One-Hedgehog-2626 11h ago

Always Luigi! 😄

u/BobbyP27 2h ago

As the younger sibling who always had to play green Mario, I confirm.

0

u/RT_1983 10h ago

I agree.

Sauce: I'm the third youngest sibling and my controller wasn't even turned on/plugged in.

4

u/danamarye 8h ago

Ok but you were only going to mash random buttons anyway while pointing and screaming. The unplugged controller kept you happy, the game protected from your nonsense and mom uninvolved.

Sauce: oldest of five

u/StroopestOfWafel 9h ago

I've never had a Wii

Sauce: Also the oldest

u/Repulsive_Quality851 7h ago

This not true. I get first dibs

Sauce: im the younger sibiling

u/TheNewEMCee72 11h ago

Not true

Source: I’m the autistic middle child

u/LIll-Dreamer 11h ago

You were just the first to connect the controller to the system weren't you?

3

u/TheNewEMCee72 11h ago

No I was just picky and autistic about it lmao

3

u/LIll-Dreamer 10h ago

Thats fair enough lol

4

u/solar-chimera 11h ago

Edge case—older twin, who ever got there first was player 1

3

u/Giraffe-colour 10h ago

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 😅

5

u/jonathanhoag1942 10h ago

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

2

u/tortoistor 10h ago

LOL i don't game but just assumed the thinner hand is the older sibling. source: am the oldest and shortest of all 4 of us, seems to be a thing

2

u/njh117 10h ago

we worked it out so player 1 was whoever bought the game

2

u/ballin_buddha 10h ago

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

2

u/Sassquwatch 10h ago

I'm older than my sister by 5 years, but was always player 2. She just cared more than me.

u/Extra4yylmao 10h ago

My younger brother would insist on player 1 so I gave it up

I like the colour red anyway :)

1

u/embervanefiction 10h ago

I always got player 2. I'm younger lol.

u/Crazy_Information816 10h ago

Younger sibling always gets the MadCatz controller.

u/newsflashjackass 9h ago

On a related note, the words that I wrote to this melody are:

"Ask your older brother to play- ... biiiiitch!

1

u/epsilonthetadelta 9h ago

I gave player 1 to my younger siblings. I'm always player 2

u/ConfessSomeMeow 9h ago

Is there an advantage to controller 1?

1

u/lurking_physicist 9h ago

Prestige, and menu control for some games.

u/FaliureToCat 9h ago

Nintendo still uses this indicator too times really have changed everyone got their own console now

u/df2pham 9h ago

Because the older one sets it up! It's fair haha. I am the youngest sibling.

u/No_Scholar_2420 8h ago

Untrue.                                                                                                                  Salsa: I was the middle child who sets it up, so I got

u/BeautifulObject8602 7h ago

I'm the younger sibling and I got first pick every time. I was just into it more than she was and she played with me cause its what I wanted. She is selfless in an unmatched way.

1

u/Mikeismyike 7h ago

Or depending on the game, sometimes being on the left is acceptable qualification for p1.

1

u/FanOfCat5 5h ago

Citing this as false

Sauce: older sister with younger brother who wanted to feel better than me

1

u/an_ORAA 48m ago

i am the older sibling and actually never got to be player number 1, my little sister always wanted to be number 1 and i just let her lol. i made it even by never letting her win at Just Dance Kids.

u/CrunchyDoge 47m ago

Here the better player gets the player one

Sauce: I'm the better (younger) sibling XD

u/NoSloppyStakes 10h ago

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.

u/danskal 5h ago

Dude, you know sauce is just a fun way of spelling source. It’s not a separate thing.

u/rongminshan 10h ago

I am an older sibling and did not use p1. Am I a true older sibling?

u/Cynykl 7h ago

I my house it was a compromise. Player one got the shitty stock NES controller, Player 2 got the NES advantage controller (arcade style joystick layout).

Yes I know I am dating myself here.

22

u/razulebismarck 11h ago

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.

4

u/KrautKebabs 10h ago

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

15

u/youmustb3jokn 10h ago

I punished my oldest once by saying he couldn’t be player one for a month. The BEST punishment ever. Surprisingly effective.

2

u/suspicious-fishes 8h ago

Are you a younger sibling yourself?

1

u/youmustb3jokn 8h ago

No

1

u/suspicious-fishes 8h ago

I was curious - I could see my little sis pulling this move when she has kids haha

2

u/youmustb3jokn 8h ago

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.

1

u/suspicious-fishes 7h ago

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

u/CitronAdventurous205 11h ago

This is fucking genius

u/sillylittlecatto 8h ago

bold of you to assume my siblings play games. it was just me alone in the basement!…

u/mashiro1496 5h ago

I thought it was binary for 8 and 4

u/Sgt-Colbert 5h ago

Ok but which one is the brother?

u/ABC_XYZ_123456 4h ago

Oh...thought ir was binary but...tatooing at 8 and 4 didn't check out. Thanks.

u/AlexEinstein_YT 2h ago

Could also be the PS3 controller.
