I was recently thinking it sucks how for any given discussion, most people haven't played that game in a while so nobody is on the same page and you really can't get that deep into the game. But with new games you can have discussion about every single aspect of it since there's so many people interested in it and playing it.

Not a "bad" experience per se but an example of being a dumb kid and regretting it. Back in 1997 I spent an entire Thanksgiving in my basement grinding AP in Final Fantasy VII while the sound of my family celebrating upstairs echoed. Not all those people are still alive so it means I missed out on one extra holiday with them for something so trivial.

lol one time I brought our SNES on vacation (I fucking know) and spent a whole day playing SSF2 one time when my family went to be with relatives.

When I was 12 I went to visit my grandma on the west coast for a month, and I spent almost all of it playing PC games on her computer. It was amazing because the internet was actually good enough for online multiplayer unlike my home PC, but she got very angry that I stayed in the guest room the whole time and didn't hang out with anyone. But I don't regret it since she was shitty to me in general and not really the nice kind of grandma most people have.

That was me this Christmas Eve. My Aunt brings her grandkids that she adopted, and while they are teens there is something about them that makes me uncomfortable/puts me on edge. So, I greeted my Aunt the grandkids and then excused myself while everyone else had fun and laughs and whatnot upstairs.

Was playing Super Mario 64 having a blast when my mom came bursting through the front door bawling her eyes out because my grandma died.

Grew up during the 90s recession in Canada, and my family was poor as fuck. In order to get me a bunch of old PS1 games, my parents had to get a loan with a 22% interest rate. It was only $50 but it took us a year to even pay it off, we couldn't even afford small stuff like milk.

>let friend borrow Pokemon Emerald when we were kids
>realized a decade later I never got it back
>text him about it and he said he doesn't even remember having it but he'll look
>he's like minimalist modern boho hippie dude thanks to his wife and even before her he was pretty antimaterialist, so I assume he probably threw it away

That was months ago. I'm never getting my Emerald back, am I?
