Actually playing games

I TOLD YOU TO PLAY WITCHER, NOT MAKE ANOTHER SHITPOST

Most jazz is classy.

To split a paper into thirds, roll it up until one end of the paper reaches to the other end then carefully flatten the paper.

Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Couldn't think of anything so I just pulled something from a related poem :3.

list small things from your childhood

^ Especially those 18+ games I was not supposed to play, kinda fun to say I was big fan of legacy of kain (original one, blood omen 1) when I was like 12 and I didn't even understand English.

^ "Mom please, you'll talk with grandma later, I want to play with friends online!"

^ And how I hated the fact that I didn't have a cable to swap pokemons with my friends.

From some non-gaming things:

teachers insisting that papers not handwritten in cursive would be rejected in middle school, high school, and college

+1

teachers insisting that papers submitted late would be rejected in middle school, high school, and college

+1

• All parks, fields and playgrounds being full of children, and magically turning into abandoned the moment Dragonball was being aired in TV (now there is 10x more of all those playgrounds, and 10x less children using them)

• Making sugar bombs with friends and planting in the school :3.

Much more but I already forgot majority of that, since I spent actually too much time playing vidya (and I don't regret it).

looking up 'sex' in a dictionary, reading something ambiguous, and getting the idea that it was about sliding saliva into someone else's mouth

It.. isn't?

I remember playing Galaga when it was new and a big thing. Nowadays I'm still amazed by how well it's simple risk-reward mechanics hold up.

I also remember hiding in bushes and using a blowpipe to shoot berries at passing cars.

And I remember seeing the original Guyver anime series airing during after-school hours. Apparently someone thought at the time that it was a good idea to expose kids to body horror, gratuitous dismemberment and casual straight up murder. Which me in my late teens found kinda funny.

mom giving me awfully large sums of money (like fiver at max haha) when we were on the vacation at the sea
worrying about school like it really mattered, huh
getting excited about traveling, 'cause that was the only way to stay up really late
reading about sex in Bravo Girl hidden under the table in school day-room
feeling sad and lonely when admitted the first time to the hospital
first mp3 player 96 mb of memory, bitch!
and yellow tamagotchi
and feeding a boy at the camp with m&m's so he could let me play tetris on his gameboy
Turok was my first game
and Pharaoh was the second
and Ford Racing was the third
my undying love for skeletons
my undeniable fear of dentists
exchanging floppy disks with gifs and powerpoint presentations with friends
grandma giving me wether's original; the taste of my childhood

I could go on forever :D

• The only time in all my life that I owned a pet
• Cars still had unique designs, before they all turned in ugly lookalikes. Before it got better again in this century.
• I remember tasting foreign bread and cheese that I never tasted again. Still looking and hoping that it wasn't just some misguided kid's memory/imagination.
• My uncle made the best meal ever. I only remember chicken and lots of onions in a huge bowl, hanging above an open fire. It was so good that I wanted to crawl into the bowl (like Obelix).

• Death by "Blinky"
• Death by troggle
• Death by dysentery
• Death by goomba
• Death by octorok
• Death by Persian trap spikes
• Death by not using a rubber while losing my virginity to a cheap hooker
• Death by fatality
• Death by hellbringer LOKI
• Death by zerg

And yet, amidst all that death and destruction, those moments are still some of the fondest from my childhood. :)

• Getting called a vegetable-tarian throughout my childhood
• Doing homework at recess since no one wanted play with me because I transferred schools late in the year.
• Getting put into detention 14 days in a row because I didn't bring in a recorder that was never ordered for me.
• The ice cream place near the beach that served a 1/4 kiddie that was the size of a normal places large (and I never could finish it)
• Doing chores for lima beans.
• Deciding to keep a wild field mouse as a pet and not tell my parents. It was about a week.
• Going to my first sleepover and realizing most parents do not have separate rooms.

What is this?

Since you specifically mentioned Super Mario Bros., you can jump over the flagpole. The screen will simply run on forever until you run out of time.
I remember going to my neighbors houses to play N64. Between the 3 of us we had Goldeneye, Duke Nukem 64, NFL Quartback Club, Super Smash Bros., and Mario Kart 64. Those were good times.

I remember catching Missingno, and ruining my game cartridge before it was a thing. Back then the internet consisted of loud beeps, whines, etc, and was too expensive for most people.

Speaking of glitches Johnny Cage had a secret fatality in the first MK.
I somehow stumbled upon his green shadow kick that went through the person's stomach.

Far too many memories, nostalgia is a bad feeling.

I remember being baptized to try to be a good Christian because I felt guilty for questioning faith. the water was so cold.

I remember being held underwater by my father and couldn't breathe and being laughed at for calling it almost drowning.

I remember seeing aliens and ufos.

I remember the feeling and sight of spiders I hallucinated crawling all over me

getting in trouble in Cello class for yawning 'cause I had no sleep.

not being able to play flute 'cause "my lips were to big" then crying and choosing to play trombone even though I didn't want to to try to hide my crying from my crush

my only friend and my brother making fun of me for having a girlfriend so I ignored her and broke up with her

being embarrassed when the fact I had diarrhea was overheard by my crush in the clinic

envying girls having periods

being the only black kid in my music class

not getting ice cream on the day everyone was supposed to because I was forgotten about

writing a diary because my mother told me to then finding out she read it and lied about it and learning to never trust adults

riding the elevator in elementery school.

Playing in the woods with my siblings near my childhood home. The house was a log cabin kind of house, and it was on the side of a hill (said hill was covered in old-growth forest). If we were to trek down the hill, through the forest, there was a peaceful pond where beavers lived. We often played in the forest, and when accompanied by the parents, all the way down the pond.

I remember doing something quite entertaining; some young pine trees have these "bubbles" in the bark, containing sticky and soft sap. If you stab these bubbles with a sharp branch or stick, then place the tip on the surface of calm water, the sap will "spread" from the tip on the stick in a thin, colorful layer on the surface of the water. Ever saw oil or gasoline in a puddle of water, and it was colorful, like a rainbow? It's the same reaction.

As the sap spreads away from the stick, putting it in water will also push the stick. Here's one of the only videos of it I could find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH9CLwXrICg

We had different childhoods, that's for sure.

Standing in the milkbar/corner shop with 20pence and taking 5 minutes to decide what lollies to get (4 or those and...no wait, 2 of those, of that). Would walk out with a bag of treats :) Those owners had a world of patience back then. (Just realised this really shows my age, oh well :).

Bringing back tadpoles in a jar from the local creek to watch them hatch into frogs. Our house was built on an old orchard so we could pick plums for out mothers when they grew.

I remember waking up early just to watch Saturday Morning tv shows at like 8am, even 6am at times. Asking me to wake up before 10am on my days off now just to watch Tv.. I can't see that happening.
