In all seriousness though, I probably take it all a little bit for granted just because I can't remember a time where I didn't have atleast 3 other above-casual players to play literally anything with. When it comes to Nintendo we all take it seriously enough for any match in any game to be absolutely bloodsoaked by the end because of how much we all love any of the party games.
I honestly don't think I could have been any luckier in that sense, because we've all improved significantly across any game we've played together just because we all play them on the same level, and most of the time our gaming sessions provide more adrenaline than almost anything else I can think of, and it's shaped me into a top tier player across a whole bunch of genres.
