i have clear memories of him storming out the back and building a fire (like a campfire) in the yard because pokemon pinball was conspiring against him so he was going to burn it, i was hiding in my room listening to my mother plead with him not to burn the gameboy because it didn't even belong to him, it had been my birthday present. "i loving paid for it!" he shouted, although in fact he hadn't

I remember being like 4 years old and playing Dr. Mario with my mom and I think for most of my early childhood I was never happier than that. Not that I had a bad childhood, I just really liked hangin’ with Mom doing Nintendo.

Pokemon Pinball was hellishly frustrating, that's really unfortunate that he found that one to latch on to in particular because it would have been poison for someone like that. For reference, it demanded 100% focus and was completely unforgiving about it. Even if you got good at bumping the table to alter the ball's path (assuming it's not bouncing too fast or too buggily) you risked getting a tilt. No matter how many unlikely things had lined up to catch that Mew -- I remember being one bounce away once -- you were always one unlucky moment away from the ball going somewhere unrecoverable, game-over-ing, and losing your progress. It could make normal people scream at it. Why, game? Why? edit: In hindsight it's clear now a simple "save" feature was all Pokemon Pinball needed. At least give a poor kid the benefit of backup save states, when all the other games of the time have real cheat codes. Without even changing anything else 100% of the frustration would be gone. Modern games take note. I couldn't handle the confusion and frustration of that one as a kid and my game boy took a beating (those things must have been overbuilt by quite a lot). But I was 13 years old. An adult should have life priorities by then and know to just walk away from something that's engineered to be a bad experience instead of letting it consume you and turn you into a stupid abusive poo poo monster to your confused kids. If you're not joking, it's tragic that you had to put up with that around the house. Video games are supposed to be these elaborate futuristic worlds that provide a good escape from all that poo poo, and it couldn't be for you.

I believe them, because Pokemon Pinball being the breaking point sounds real and the 9/11 bit is too weird to make up
