Mrs. Catford & the 40-Year Console
Pat the NES Punk dusted off the gloves for the NES’s 40th birthday, and for a few minutes, it felt like time rewound itself. The humor, the winks, the self-mockery — all still there, aged just right.
Mrs. Catford left a comment under his pinned post, simple and sincere:
“Pat fully channeling his inner NES Punk — staying perfectly in character from start to finish. You slay me, truly. Stay fabulous, Pat. 💅🎮”
It wasn’t about chasing likes. It was about recognizing someone who never forgot how to be the thing he built — even after forty years of pixels, jokes, and patch notes.
Sometimes you don’t need a loud tribute. Just a well-placed nod, across time, between two people who remember when Start meant begin again.
