minus-squarejohn89@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·17 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-squarecatloaf@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·17 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.)
