“Well of COURSE I remember where I was on 9/11/2001- I was gleefully opening and playing my brand new PlayStation 2 with hardly a care in the whole world! So much fun… probably one of the best days of my whole life! Seems kind of random and specific that you’d ask me that, though.”

my two favorite gaming memories are getting the N64 for christmas and seeing Mario in 3D for the first time, and my grandpa waiting in line to get an Xbox for my birthday on release day and then coming home from school and just staring at the grass in Halo like a dipshit, in complete awe at the detail. the N64 i think i first played at that same grandpa's house too, at least that's where the memory takes place. i love all my grandparents obviously but he was my favorite by far

My uncle actually worked at the WTC and experienced both the 1993 bombing and 9/11. The latter broke his brain and he's terrified of Muslims now
