>Super Mario 64 was the first game my ex and I played as a couple after we moved in, when only the TV and the consoles had been unpacked. We sat on the floor and ordered pizza. I still remember how she looked in a white tank top, holding the Nintendo 64 controller, lit from the front by the bright colors of the game.
>She was gone, along with most of the furniture, about a week later.
>I went on a trip for work, and when I returned, there was a note where a person used to be. I sat very still for a very long time.
>Someone broke into my apartment and stole my video game collection exactly four days later. A dozen or so systems, and over 600 games, all gone.
>It was the first time I had ever walked into a crime scene. My ex-girlfriend was standing in the kitchen with her new boyfriend.
>The collection included most of the important Dreamcast games. Boxed Nintendo 64 games. Rare, even at that time, PlayStation RPGs. Sega CD games in perfect plastic cases. I had the hardware necessary to play them all.
>It had been a simple crime; I lived in an old building, and the hinges on my door were on the outside. The thieves had simply tapped the pins out and walked in. I doubt they even knew what they had stolen, and my gut lurched as I thought about my carefully curated collection being sold for a buck a game at some random pawn shop.
>“Son, the only things that happen if I turn on the blacklight in here is that you get embarrassed, and the games will still be gone when I turn it off,” he said. I nodded. It later occurred to me that he was probably joking, but I was too numb to read social cues.
>It was then I realized this cop was a gooblygraper and this was all the latent effect of a hassament and gangstalking campaign against me
>My ex asked if I was OK before shutting the door behind her. I told her I wasn’t.
>That’s why it was so easy to cry in the shower

Gamergate really is the boogeyman.
That's pretty sad. That's a lot of money and a lot of memories. I'd be furious if that happened to me.
This is pretty tertiary content though.
