Look how that strap is digging into her shoulder. Bitch is walking around with all kinds of junk that was marketed to her. Performative act, probably told the lines to say because TV was worried about vidya. And they were right be, TV sucks.

>>12346890
"You already have a nintendo" was a pretty common parental opinion back then.

>>12346865
probably but i think my mom bought me video games because we felt guilty about having nothing to bond over like my sister and her did

>>12346865
I never got shit for games after the age of 8, had to buy all of it myself.
I only learned resentment from that.
>>12346890
She's self-centered. Everyone besides her is the bad guy, and she power trips on setting rules for her children.

>>12346898
Oh shit... does this kind of thing happen? Mom has a better bond with daughter than son?

>>12346895
Parents being cheap is normal. Parents posturing that seeing through marketing is the reasons for their cheapness is performative. These retards were ultra consumers.

well, she's not wrong, the snes was quite expensive.

>>12346912
My parents refused to get me a NES, but finally got me a Super Nintendo, a Game Boy, a N64, a Playstation, and Dreamcast in rapid succession year after year.

My mom knew what I was talking about when I started asking for 16-bit system back then because we were both arcade enthusiasts. So all I had to say was that I wanted to keep up with the arcades and she understood.

>>12346865
I never got a console other than on my 10th birthday/ I had to buy everything myself or get it secondhand from my cousins

>>12346865
She's not that pretty, I'd take the Super Nintendo over her.

I love how in the video, there's group therapy sessions that are basically "We're not buying the SNES, billy" for 100bux per session, like you can't just say no to your child for free or some shit, or get a genesis with sonic to shut them up for a reasonable price.

>>12346890
Yeah it's weird, you never really see women carry huge purses full of shit around like you did in the 90s.

>>12346865
my mom had an nes, snes, genesis and gameboy by the time I was 3 and introduced me to gaming. then when ps1 came out she let me watch her play "cool adult" games like resident evil and ff7 until I was brave enough to play them myself.

You can tell how old people are in this thread by not realizing that this was an extremely common mindset for older generations back then. The idea of swapping out electronics every few years was still a very uncommon practice. Things LASTED for decades back then. That lamp in your living room? Probably from the 50's. That cheap dishwasher? From the 70's and still doing its job. That TV? A hand me down from your grandparents from 1979 that lacked modern stuff like F-connectors (coaxial) or AV and needed a spade connector adapter of all things! And keep in mind that videogame consoles usually came and went within 4-5 years up until Gen 7 in mid 2000's. The NES came out in 85 in the US, but it didn't start booming like hotcakes until around 87-88. You had kids getting an NES in 90-91 and then immediately yearning for an SNES the following week or in 89-90 and saw those commercials of what Nintendon't by Sega.
And if by chance you were that kid with both Genesis and Nintendo consoles or even more then that, you were known about in school. Most kids I knew in school were lucky enough just to have one console. Other kids would just go to someone elses house to play their SNES even by mid 90s.

I'm not wrong though

My mom forbade video game consoles. But she did buy me an Apple IIgs as a kid, I was like 8 years old when it came out. Then later on once that was obsolete she took me computer shopping for a new computer, at the local computer shop / builder. I got a 286, later upgraded to a 386 and when I moved to college, 486 with new MB all in the same case. Wish I still had it but I had to ditch almost everything for a big move.

Overall I don't feel like I missed out, my buddies all had consoles but PC games were more entertaining to me for the most part. Playing two players with two mice at once Catan was awesome, my buddy and I eventually rigged up a screen with tape and cardboard sticking out perpendicular from the screen so we couldn't see each other's sides. Modem play was also possible with Gold or II or whatever, but with everybody's mom and sister trying to pick up the phone it was only practical in the middle of the night or if nobody else was home.

Parents know almost nothing about video games

They have no idea why it's not possible to play snes games on an nes. If you did explain it then they would say you still should put that effort into making nes games out of respect for your customers. If you explained the things that just aren't possible on the nes you're not going to come up with a single example they could possibly care about.

Granted it's because they don't give a shit about video games and see them as a net negative. The twist is when you get older you realize they were right and your life would be much better if you never fell for the video game meme.

Child therapy was such a 90s parenting meme. Kid doesn't do his homework? Send him to therapy. Kid asks for too much at Christmas? Therapy. Kid rightly complains that you, the parent, are doing something wrong? Therapy! I don't know what parents thought it would really do for their kids, but I'd wager that the majority of children subjected to that just viewed it as punishment, and only superficially changed their behavior because they didn't want to piss away afternoons hearing another adult tell them, in so much flowery language, that they're doing something wrong and/or that life sucks and they just have to get used to it.

Did anybody's mom wind up banging their son's bully AND buy said bully an SNES, while denying such luxuries to her own son?

Yeah video games were still "new" so it wasn't weird for people to not really think too deeply on technological advancement or that they were anything but passing fad toys. Heck the idea of not even have a game system was pretty normal.

Jokes aside, you are correct. Not only did appliances last for far longer, I've gotten the impression that consumers didn't care for the features that separate products as much as whether the product reliably did its job. Like you described, why get a new TV with fancy AV inputs if we can already watch all our shows on our current one.
Of course, game consoles don't replace their predecessors the same way a new dishwasher would replace an old one, but I doubt many parents knew or cared to know that when vidya as a concept was still new.

Legit question: do you guys really only rely on your parents to get vidya?
My parents, and most parents probably, were, on one hand, struggling to maintain a family and video games were expensive luxury toys, on the other hand, parents also typically won't want to spoil their kids, so yeah the reaction of that mom is normal.
However, there were GRANDMAS, who maybe had some good retirement money and also want to spoil her grandsons.
In my case, 90% of my vidya was thanks to my grandma. I got a new game almost every weekend, glorious times, and I'm forever grateful to her. I always tell her I still have all the video games she got for me back then and thank her.

>>12360982
My grandma didn't even know what a videogame was. Your granny is a spiritual zoomer.

>>12346904
Almost the same. Last system I got as a present was the Sega Master system in 1989 when I was 12. Had to buy myself every system after that. Would get the odd game as a present, but I stopped asking because I knew they wouldn't do it.

>>12360982
>do you guys really only rely on your parents to get vidya?
I did. When I was really little, my parents would buy games/toys at the store if they were inexpensive (under $20). More expensive stuff was reserved for birthdays and Christmas.
When I was around 10, however, they agreed to pay me for various chores around the house. I did the dishes and vacuumed/mopped, and I took turns mowing the lawn with my dad during my early teens.
I did them whenever I could, that way I had enough money saved before new vidya came out.

>>12360972
That's for pong

>>12360982
yes i often got games from my grandparents as holiday gifts. im sure my parents told them what to buy. my grandma also had a colecovision and would play it with us.

Shit poster here, I'm all for educating zoomers about things and truth be told I like zoomers, all things said and done. Zoomers create demand, sure this will raise prices of physical but we have better emulators, official re-releases, projects from 30 years ago revived and completed, new retro releases. Crazy shit nobody would have envisioned a decade ago. Clone consoles, FPGA, new retro systems. It's amazing. Not saying zoomers are solely responsible for this, not even close but nobody can deny it has improved everything and made these games more accessible than ever. Zoomers are still faggots and I hate them though.

>>12346865
My first console was a Genesis, my parents didn't understand why I wanted a Playstation until we went to my teenage cousin's house who had one and they saw the graphics. It was a big enough leap forward that they understood the Genesis wasn't gonna keep getting new games.

More than likely in a butterfly effect sort of way. I remember I was part of some intervention with the educational administrator due to my addiction to video games. I remember having to fake being impressed with how the administrator had a game which has "helicopters and tanks" on PC, and act as if the message was understood when the reality was my mental capacity and capabilities are sub-standard for the expectation of the time. It is difficult to imagine myself in a better financial situation even if I did not get a SNES, as rent, utilities, food, insurance, and overall cost of living pressures are so immense at this time as even younger co-workers express these same frustrations despite not even caring about having a Super Nintendo.
