That's just sad. I had an NES, a Gameboy, an SNES, and an N64 when they came out and I ALWAYS like doing things and getting out. My mom, granddad, and one aunt would all go skiing in the winter and bike riding in the summer, and I enjoyed every fucking minute of it. I also enjoy every fucking minute of my video games. But I knew they'd still be there when I got done having other kinds of fun.

I was very fortunate and extremely lucky in many ways. Like how our next-door neighbor got tickets to a local amusement park every year from his pension and since he and has wife were old farts and their kids were grown, he always gave them to us and we'd just buy extra for other family members that wanted to go along. I won't deny I had an amazing childhood in so many ways, but that doesn't forgive the lies and trauma.
