>be in 3rd grade>some of my gamecube games are missing>dad sold them to buy beer
About 25 years ago, when my son was in the 3rd grade, I needed beer money, so I took some of my nerd son's video games and sold them at a pawn shop.
When I was 4 I screamed at my older cousin (I think she was 13) for winning against me in Mario Kart 64.
>>736275060>be me>12-13 years old>games start disappearing every so often>look everywhere for them>think i'm leaving them at relatives houses or forgetting if i traded them in>keeps going on for years, through high school>finally find out my older brother was going into my room, stealing my vidya (and cash, occasionally, and pawning them for cigarettes, booze, and cheap weed>tell my parents>they give off the vibe that they've known for years>proceed to do nothing about it>mfw
>>736275060Oof.When i was a kid I convinced a friend to lend me his copy of Crystalis on game boy colour. Or game boy. Whatever.I swore Id give it back i fully intended to keep this promise and return it the monday.My family moved that weekend. No one had told me this was happening. We moved a lot as kids.If I remembered who he was id at least apologize but thats life
>go to school>get treated like shit by teachers and students for 8 hours>get in trouble for yawning too loud or saying something resembling a curse word>get in trouble when I try to explain that I wasn’t saying a curse word>teacher would call my mom about my “bad behavior”>mom immediately believed her and never asked for my side of the story>paranoid about going home because everyday was a coin toss on whether my mom would flip out over some shit I didn’t even know I did>got vidya taken away constantly
>borrow Valkyrie Profile Lenneth for the PSP from a kid>he fucking dies
>>736275954>>736275954I didn't know DBDR posted here
I played Ace Attorney music when my class was doing a fake courtroom session. Out loud.Now I physically can't bring myself to play any of the games because the music triggers memories of me acting like a public autist and the other kids probably getting really annoyed at the bing bing music.
>>736275295You can have memories from THAT age?
>>736276226Even if your social life died, have no regrets anon, for if but for a moment, you LIVED.
>>736275060My mother gave my GBA to my grandparents house as punishment for something I did, and my grandfather forgot where he put it for several months. Later, my mother luckily found it in his underwear drawer while folding his laundry.
>>736275060>Play Resident Evil 4 on a rainy autumn day, perfect atmosphere and immersion>Play the part in the barn where you find a necklace above an open latrine>Shoot the necklace, lands on the open latrine and gets covered in SHIT.>Later that afternoon get the shits, im a poorfag from the boonies so we still use latrines>Our latrine was getting full>I shit out a turd so big the filth splashes my ass and scrotum.The perfect Resident Evil 4 experience, really felt immersed.
whats with anons having absolutely dogshit families?
>>736276274I have a memory from when I was just 1 year old of an aunt playing with me.
>>736276274NTA, but yes. It was even a joke in Malcolm in the Middle where Malcolm meets an even more autistic savant who can remember what it was like in the womb. I think to really keep them in later years you have to 'revisit' the memories every so often, but that can also cause you to alter/flanderize the memories over time.
>parents buy you a game console for your birthday/christmas/etc.>refuse to buy you a memory card
>Friend comes over to my house so we can play with our gameboys>one day my gameboy dissapears alongside some games>friend stops visiting for a while so I suspect he stole it>shortly after I invited my friend to my house to play PS1>talk about how much it sucks that my gameboy disappeared while walking down the stairs of my house after playing>on the wall in front of the staircase there is a large mirror I can see his filthy guilty expression while walking down the stairs>confront the little fucker now that I know he is guilty>he gave me back my gameboy and my games, and said he is sorry that he stole them>tell him to get fucked and never come over or talk to me again>my gameboy had a much shittier battery life, he switched his dying old battery with mineFrom that day on I learned to never trust anyone, everyone is a piece of shit no matter how friendly they act.
>>736276226If it makes you feel any better, we once did an in class specific talent show in middle school, and I lip synced Bad to the Bone with a fake guitar I made out of a piece of wood and a piece of cardboard in the shape of a Les Paul taped to the front of it.I'm glad I didn't understand the concept of cringe at the time, if I could go back and do something, it would probably be Origami, I learned to do it for a public speaking class in college for what is essentially the same assignment except we had to explain how to do what we were doing with powerpoint slides.
>>736276409>everyone is a piece of shit no matter how friendly they actNah, that depends on parenting.I had friends who i knew where little rats and i would only bring out my old toys with them, or watch them closely if i played with the cool toys.I had friends i knew i could trust because they never stole and their moms looked/acted like mine.
>>736276362I think it's lack of fathers or shitty parents. Thank god the internet exists to shut down those kids that lie about shit.
>>736276409>he switched his dying old battery with mineSo... was this the Advanced SP? That was the only gameboy with an internal battery.
>>736275060>be 6>have a whole bunch of random games for PS1 and PS2>having fun playing Spyro, Sly Cooper and FFX>put in fucking Resident Evil 3 for the first time>can't figure out how the tank controls work>run in to an area with a zombie>freak out and run to a previous area>try running past the zombie>get grabbed and mauled helplessly>panic and mash all the buttons>>>nothing works>try and run past the zombie again>finally get past, think i can relax>>>more zombies>eventually die and hear the squelching noises of zombies eating me>bordering on tears at this point and turn off the PS2, never touch the game againI'm 28 now and saw it came out recently on Steam. It's an irrational fear but I have to overcome this.
In 6th grade music class (I'm 26 now) when we had downtime the teacher let us write down requests of music to play and I wrote down a remix of the stage 1 music from the Silver Surfer NES game made by a fucking furry because I didn't know what that was at the timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Rz0-PAeV-QI was just like "oh look, there's a picture of a fox with glasses, that's cool," I was clueless
>>736276686Just emulate it
>>736276680Yeah we had SPs, I can still remember the games he stole, Dragon Ball Advanced Aventure, Castlevania Aria of Sorrow and Golden Sun. At least the fucker had good taste.
>realize you were the cringe annoying one in the friend group>isolate self and cut all contact>friends all grow apart
>A lot of my memories are negative>Never vidya, beyond maybe buying a bad gameMaybe that's why I never dropped it
>>736276274nigga i remember my mom feeding me baby food while I was on a child seat with a bib around my neck. It was in our old house in the living room.I have lots of toddler age memories.
>>736276398This happened to me as well when I got a ps2. I only had final fantasy x at the time. My dad got me a memory card though after he noticed me sadly playing the first part of the game over and over. Mother was not pleased.
i got scammed for full mithril in runescape when i was in 3rd grade and i cried so hard i threw up
Was going to get my first PC at the end of school.My friends helped me to choose and assemble it.We gathered at my home, and were going to play test first Just Cause.I left the room for 10 minutes, someone called me (mom or dad don't remember clearly).When I returned, I smelled burnt plastic, the PC was dead and friends were laughing confusingly. One of them tried to mess with the PSU switch (110-220V) just to see what would happen.Spend a whole month getting a replacement. Weirdly it happened (guarantee service centers were not so qualified back then).Didn't play any of the JC series ever after. Just in case.
>>736277106I was scammed in runescape too, but it taught me a valuable lesson that people will screw you over if you let them. I'm glad it was early in life when stakes were low.
>>736276274I don't even remember things from a year ago... don't neet out guys
>be me>16 years old>playing through Fallout NV for the first time>around this time start having fights with older brother>mostly yelling arguments>only once physical>always happened when I would play vidya>can't bring myself to finish now>any time I replay I start getting upset
>>736276274I think 4 is when most people start remembering things right?Personally I remember "waking up" when I was 3. I was in the living room, when we had the old TV set, that blue-white striped light house thing, and the shitty old couch from I think my dad's dad that was made of bare steel bars and blocks of wood as the arm rests. We got rid of that since my brother and I would hit our heads on it.
>2012, moving out>mom says everything I don't take with me will be stored away until I come back for it>sounds good to me>leave behind my NES, Master System, Genesis, N64, Playstation, Gamecube, GBA, and all of the games for each>I call three days later to see if I can come over and get some of it>"oh I assumed you didn't want it because you didn't take it with you, it went out in the dumpster">"don't get mad at me, it's not my fault you were too lazy to pack it all up"lol
>>736276274My absolute earliest clear memory is the first day of kindergarden so I was around 5 years old.
>>736277341Holy shit
>>736277341
>>736277341Mad megaman.jpg
>>736277341out fucking skiled
I rented this game when I was 3 or 4, and I remember getting stuck in it because I was way too young to understand what was going on. And then my babysitter raped me.I think triggers are generally bullshit but my heart stops when I see or think of this game.
>>736277473babysitter (male) or babysitter (female)?
>>736277341Why are there so many stories about parents throwing out games? I feel weird even borrowing something from people, let alone throwing away something that isn't even mine.
>>736277530MaleI only remember the game and the events that followed it, I had to ask my family about the context around it
>go over the friends house>i want to play a game like we usually do when i come over>he says he cant find it so we should do something else>later he tells me he hid the game because he thought all i wanted to do was play video games and he wanted to do other things for oncemade me feel like a real loser. i still feel bad about it
>>736277548"what's mine is mine, what's yours is also mine"also in boomer's heads video games are just dumb kid's toys, no different than throwing out some mega bloks or thomas the tank engine sets or something like that
>>736276274yeah i was 4 when i saw 9/11 on the news and it's still the coolest thing i've ever seen
In college, we had to do powerpoint presentations about any topic we wanted.I fucking chose League of Legends. it was 2013 I think.I went into meticulous detail about stats, runes, gameplay etc.I was this close to being THAT GUY, but God, in his unending wisdom and mercy, decided to kill my laptop and harden the hearts of my classmates so they would not lend me theirs (I had the presentation saved on a flash drive). It didn't hit me how big of a bullet I dodged until I got a new laptop months later.
>>736276274>>736277326My first memory is from when i was 2years old when a cousin threw me over an old concrete canal, the skin of my back peeled off.Other memory from 2yo is when i pooped myself in my first day of kindergarden (actually i just went to spend the day with another cousin that studied there).But those are bad memories so i always say my first memory is from when i was 3 years old, watching DBZ when Frieza is beating up Bejita and my grandpa saying "damn these chinks are really smart with their propaganda" (whatever that meant).I take that as my first memory because it's funny and Bejita has been a jobber since my first memories. Also Frieza eating the crab was scary for some reason.
>>736277548They figure they bought it, they can throw it away when they please. I once got a game for my birthday (Mario Kart Double Dash) that got thrown away as soon as summer break was over (two weeks later).
>>736277561It must have been so hard for you (non pun intended)
>>736277548parents are too dumb to understand games have valuethey grew up being able to buy a house on 1 day wage at a gas station so their idea of money is super skewedthat and they also think videogames are more worthless than toys to begin with so they can't even comprehend why someone would want them at all, ever
>>736277701It sucked and was really inconvenient
>>736275060>older cousin asks to borrow Wind Waker>never fucking gives it back and I never get to beatI wish I got to experience the ending, it looks cool as fuck.
>>736277681>i always say my first memory is from when i was 3 years old, watching DBZ when Frieza is beating up Bejita and my grandpa saying "damn these chinks are really smart with their propaganda" (whatever that meant).Fucking kekIs that to say he liked it or something and he felt bad about it since boomers hate naps?I do remember being younger and telling my mom about anime, and she'd tell me that if my grandpa was around he'd have a heart attack since he despised the japanese
>Know a neighborhood kid whose home life wasn't the best>We still included him in our friend group, because why not?>We pool our allowance money to buy Kingdom Hearts 2, his favorite series >Playing that shit at his house since he was really excited>Door slams in other room>His parents immediately start another screaming match>He is visibly shaking holding back tears, as me and another kid stare wide eyed at each other and dead silent>We hear a loud THUD>His mother is screaming bloody murder in what we assumed his dad had hit her>FUCKTHISSHITI'MOUT.gif>Me and the other kid leave through the back screen door opposite of the room>Kid bursts into tears as his dad begins to realize that his son (and friends) were home>Dad starts crying>Mom is screaming and crying>I just fucking book it all the way homeI still have a hard time trying to play Kingdom Hearts to this day because of how traumatizing that was and I still feel even worse for the kid
>>736277739Sounds like dealing with it was an absolute pain in the ass (no pun intended)
>>736277660>It didn't hit me how big of a bullet I dodgedYou obviously got hit by it considering you're here.
>>736277816>NapsBoomers love napsI meant japs
>>736277823Yeah it was really annoying
>>736276925I don't remember writting this…
>>736276274My first memories was being 2 years old and my sister and mother were showing me my name in sticker letters then i put one of the stickers up my nose. Honestly if you don't have sentience by the time you're 3, you're probably brown or stupid
>>736276274My first memory ever is of climbing out of a crib early morning to play mario bros on nintendo. I don't remember how old I was but I had to have been under 4 for that
>>736277867Stories like yours are the ones that go down in the annals of the story.
>>736277986Yeah it was fairly unpleasant stuff
>>736277816He actually hates the chinese, he thinks anime is chinese, lol.He's mexican.
when I was in the 5th grade, 3 days before christmas my house got broken into when we were at a family party somewhere else and we lost alot of stuff, including my gamecube gamesthey didn't steal the gamecube though, I guess they thought that'd be too heartless or something
>>736276274One of my earliest memories is sticking tiny magnetic checker pieces up my nose because I thought it was a really cool trick only to end up having one stuck up in there for what felt like a month until my mom noticed I was breathing weirdly and forcibly raked it out of my nose with her long-ass fingernails.
>>736278005Probably not the easiest thing to swallow.
>>736277341>>736277548>dad plays a bunch of pc games>parents divorce when I was 10>dad goes no contact and moves to the opposite side of the state>leaves behind all his belongings except his car>mom throws out everything he owned including gamesI don't entirely blame her since she wouldn't want to be constantly reminded of him but I wish she could've sold them to a pawn store or something.
>>736276925i played lol for almost ten years and i did the same thing anon did.I miss them, but I got what I deserved.
>>736275060When I was a kid I microwaved an original CD of "Lets Go" for the PS1 out of pure curiosity. I realized my game of Chrono Q was actually never saving I only thought the game was meant to reset every time you turn off the N64.Also my Emerald save corrupted right after I beat the Elite Four
i stole my friend's copy of pokemon fire red and started a new game over his save with 500+ hours on iti couldn't enjoy the game because i felt so guilty about stealing it but i couldn't work up the balls to return it to him and apologise i'm sorry josh
My cousin erased my sonic adventure 2 save. I was angry as hell until I realized the chao garden was a separate save so I forgave her.
>>736277568did you kiss
>>736277568>love me video games, simple as>eventually every time I go over to a friend's house he complains he's bored whenever I try to get us to play games>ask him what he wants to do then>he says he doesn't know>this happens repeatedly every time I go over>eventually our many year long friendship ends and he gets a new group of friends that all just hang out to smoke weed and get high behind the nearby grocery storelame.

>>736275060>Be me>Get allowance of 5€ a month cash on hand>There's a game I really like but it's only available online>Dad can you buy me this game for 20€?

It’s been kind of disheartening for me that I’m in the vast minority of people for having a good childhood. Both parents, loving parents, supportive and friendly family, not very wealthy but not poor either, accommodating for my struggles with autism and learning. I’m beyond thankful. I owe my entire life to them. But I also get sad at just how miserable everyone else in the outside world is. I feel afraid to even approach someone just to try and socialize or ask directions somewhere. Everyone is just walking around the store or mall or the park looking like they’re ready to kill themselves or others at the slightest hint of inconvenience. I feel so fucking out of place, like I’m living an entirely different reality from everyone else. I don’t want this. I just want people to enjoy life too. I want people to feel how I feel.
>>736277548I remember my sister playing Ninja Gaiden 2 and I got scared at the intro and first boss cutscene. And my mom talked about throwing the game out and I was thinking "you can do that?" Being bewildered that you can throw away non-trash items.Parents are willing to throw away stuff they don't understand if it fucks with their kids. Nowadays parents would not do that since they grew up with video games or at least realize their worth and would sell it instead.
>parents go on anniversary or something for several days>stay at friends house >Night 1>playing kirby's super star late into the night on his family room TV>Friend's dad comes out and tells us to get off and go to bed or something>Friend's talks back to him with some smartass kid thing>Friend's dad flips the fuck out and he forcibly drags him by his arm away into the nearby kitchen so it's barely out of my sight and starts wailing on him with a magazine or a newspaper>game is still running on the tv and this music is playing the whole time while I hear him scream and his dad yelling at him as he gets whacked around https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxIogvdQRKYSill makes me think of it when I replay it and hear that music

>>736278982What happened after...
>dad sends ps1 and game discs while he's in the military>I play Resident Evil 1 thinking it's Contra or someshit>I can't get past the first screen due to the tank controls>dad comes back from the military>he shows me the first zombie>be fucking traumatized upon realization that I was playing a horror game
>>736277235Stop browsing your phone
>>736279326My dad bought me resident evil 1 for the GameCube when I was like 6 and I couldn't play it after seeing the very first zombie so I know he was mad since we were poor and I could only get a new game like once every few months

Thanks for reading my blog, I love you.
>>736276274My earliest memory was at 4 but no sooner. I remember waking up strapped to a kiddie seat in a hot car while my parents and brother went to gawk at the Colorado river from the top of the cliffs. They eventually saw me leave the seat and went to open the car door I couldn't figure out for me.I probably should've fucking died
>>736279254We went to his bedroom and I just kinda stared at the ceiling in silence. The rest of the stay over was awkward and we avoided his dad and stayed outside most of the day. He lived in a rural area so there was a lot stuff to expolore out there at least I remember one time (don't remember if it was the same trip) we found like shitty porn with 0/10s printed on newsprint in some abandoned hobo hovel
>>736278197I was playing Pokemon Blue in a hammock when it flipped over and got hit so hard, it erased my save at right around the same time. It upset me so bad my mom got a rubber gameboy guard so I wouldn't have to go through that again.
>early 3DS days>me and my brother both have one>playing Find MII>it was a once a day thing cuz streetpass>brother starts freaking out cuz my Mii is the wrong color>throws 3DS at me>lips burst and i start bleeding>he never got in trouble for it
>>736276274yeah. my earliest memory is being 3 years old, with my mom playing crash team racing and spyro 2 while having me sitting on her lap watching
>>736277326My earliest memory is being on a toilet in the morning of my third birthday & asking my mom to come wipe me lol
>younger sibling or cousin does something like overwriting your save data or scratching a disc>get upset>parents give you a lecture about how "it's just a game"
>>736279254>>736279567Oh and the last I heard about about him years and years ago he joined the navy and then got like an OTH discharge. I remember he had a younger sister who was pretty bratty and talkative too until eventually she just turned on a dime and became super quiet and reserved. Looking back on it now all these years later that dad of his must have been a fucking demon and I probably should have told my parents about the newspaper walloping but I was like 7-11 when I knew the family
>>736278897That’s just the way it is. Some people, their biggest problem in life was fumbling asking a girl out once. Others, it’s abusive parents and getting raped as a kid.
>>736275060Oh hey I got a similar story>be me, 5 years old at the time>live in a barren wasteland due to dad's job>mom rarely ever lets me go outside to play because she thinks she's going to die when she's alone, but even then there are no kids my age>all I got is a shitty NES to pass the time and shoot ducks (also cry when the dog mocks me)>I hear we're going to move to a different, better part of the country in 3 months, be happy upon hearing this>one morning I get up and see the console is missing>question it, mom doesn't know where it is, after breakfast she takes her anxiety/depression medicine to sleep until evening as usual>tv has only like 3 channels and only one of them shows cartoons between 5-8 am, after that it's all boring shit>also barely have any toys because parents don't care, try to pass the time with them but it's hard>finally dad comes home when the sun sets, ask him where's the console>he says he was out of money to buy himself his daily three packs of smokes, so he sold it for scraps to buy cigarettes>I spend the next 3 months usually crying because of boredom and banging my head against the wall as there was genuinely nothing to doIdk how I survived

>>736279848I had some very valuable shit lmao, the entire collection would go for nearly $10,000 right now
>>736278897Theres nothing you can do, even former poor people feel guilty when they look at poorfags, but they know better than anyone that there's nothing they can do.And believe me, even poor people and misserable people enjoy certain aspects or moments in their life, and they enjoy the little moments as good as everyone.

>>736275167Why do people say “the xth grade”? I only hear people say it in tv shows.

I think sterilizing the human species would dramatically improve life on earth. Holy shit these stories are horrible.
>>736280352that's what we call our school grades in the US
>>736279898Normal people don't tend to come hereAnd if they do, they don't have anything to share anywayMy parents were fine to me personally, but they were bizarre to my brother since we had very distinct "golden child" and "problem child" designations. Amongst the "funnier" anecdotes, there were at least two times that they took my brother's door. Just straight up unscrewed his bedroom door and took it away for a few days. They took his mattress once as well. I don't know why.

>>736280385>>736280348He got a job from some group that moves around the country alot. I think jobcore or something. either way, he didn't wanna take alot with him, because that's more stuff he had to haul. BUT he was the person to introduce me to emulation, so chances are he ditched his physical games to just carry all of them around in an emulator. And he even left me with a copy of his whole romset. At the time, having every single SNES game on my computer was mind blowing, and ZSNES really left a mark on me with that snowy effect it had on the screen.

>>736276274If you don't have memories starting from age 3 at the latest, there's a high probability you were sexually abused as a child and your brain suppressed it.
>>736276274My oldest fact checked, mom verified, certified true memory was making a hand print in wet cement on my back patio. I remembered there were workers there also laying down grass sod rolls and mom confirmed that was true. The hand print is still faintly visible.
>>736280437>there were at least two times that they took my brother's door. Just straight up unscrewed his bedroom door and took it away for a few days.He probably slammed it, that's why my parents did it to me.
