  • I don’t even remember the name of the game, but it was a gba game where you played as a blacksmith and you had to craft your own weapons and go down some mine to collect materials and progress the story. I was 18yo at the time, had just started living alone, didn’t have internet or TV or anything to do. Downloaded that game at work then went home to play it and suddenly I had to leave for work again. It was the first time I stayed up all night playing something. I remember dozing off that next day and even writing stuff about swords in the middle of some work documents.






  • I read somewhere that back then Microsoft was looking to buy some game to include on windows and everybody was showing then games that are more “videogame-ish”, with some level of violence or stuff like that, which Microsoft didn’t want. Eventually some guy at Microsoft had just rejected another game and said something like: “can’t someone just create a pinball game or something?” and someone overheard and created what we now know as Space Cadet Pinball.






  • Mom letting the 11yo “loser” daughter apply makeup and stuff to look older so she could hit on an autistic 19yo and let him believe he finally had a shot with a girl, just so she could have someone running after her to compensate for the bullying she suffered in school. (AFAIK nothing actually happened between the two, the girl just wanted the attention, but it went on for years)
