Its all the fun with none of the rape and murder! Well maybe the rape...it is a festival.

I doubt my mother did it intentionally. But the experience taught me that sometimes you have to sacrifice to get what you want. And that I had agency to go and get what I want if I accept the cost.

In hindsight, I didnt really miss out. I beat all my NES games. I didnt need to hold on to it.

I had to sell my NES and all my games and peripherals to get the SNES. My Mom wouldnt buy it for me even as a combo present. "You already have one!" she said.
