Gaming with [Character] — N64 Era, 1997 3

Two friends taking a pizza break on the brown corduroy couch in a wood-paneled basement den — a young person with short dark hair and warm brown skin mid-bite of a pizza slice, grease on their fingers, looking sideways at the camera. A Black girl with tight cornrow braids and small gold stud earrings wearing a baggy purple basketball jersey over a white long-sleeve tee reaching down to grab a Nintendo Power magazine from the stack on the floor, her pizza slice balanced on her knee. Translucent purple N64 controllers set down on the couch, cables coiled loosely. The Domino's pizza box open between them, a few slices remaining. The 27-inch Magnavox CRT shows the GoldenEye menu screen, cycling idle. Boombox on the shelf, No Doubt playing. Flash from the front, harsh and flat, the pizza grease gleaming under the light. Heavy grain, warm tungsten cast, red-eye on the young person. Natural skin texture with subtle pores and micro-imperfections, organic asymmetry in features.
