minus-square@john89@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish30•2 days ago 80s/90s kids remember being able to throw their controllers at the TV without fear. Fuck, I never would think to throw my controller at the screen! I also don’t ever throw my controllers in general. Why would I want to break them? Lol.

minus-square@Cocodapuf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 days agoYeah man! As a thing made in the 80s myself, I gotta tell ya, I’m feeling pretty broken these days. But I don’t blame the build quality, I blame the 8 year old, that dude will be the death of me.
minus-square@catloaf@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish4•2 days agoWhen you’re a small child and you get extremely frustrated about dying to the same boss one too many times in a row, you have to vent that somehow. It only happened once, I got so frustrated I bit the controller and threw it. You can still see the bite marks. (I was at most 11 years old.)
