Let's have some good old fashioned RAGE.
>Had a turquoise gameboy color I've had for years. Got it for my biethday and it came with Pokemon Crystal to go with it
>Enjoyed the FUCK out of it until I got Sapphire and an SP some years later.
>Be 13 then, and had to stay in a hotel for a while due to reasons
>mom meets another mom on 4th floor and her autisitic son (his little brother wasn't bad, just shy)
>"hey anon, make a friend they'd love to play with you"
>warily accept. I didn't know much about autism then but I had a GUT FEELING
>annoying for the most part. Did some dumbass shit and broke several things
>"hey anon can I play your gameboy" just shrug and say okay- didn't pay much attention, I was helping his little bro beat a boss
>"anon its not working "
>what? I just charged it though.
>go over and heart stops
>its jammed in backwards
>"it wouldn't fit so I had to slam it in"
>head starts buzzing as i try to pry it loose- have to use a pair of pliers
>it comes free and I put it back the right way, but it doesn't work... It just plays a glitched and half hearted version of the intro before stopping
>lose my shit and explode because I didn't have much as a kid, and he took away my only handheld game
I got Sapphire and a GBSP about two years later, but the ache is still there.

I still get the odd pang of sadness to this day
>>29192085
I was almost the autistic brother (cousin in my case) once but thankfully we weren't far away from where I had forgotten the cartridge when my cousin asked for his game back so we went back and found it still there

You never realise until you're older. Never let anyone borrow anything from you.

>spend ten thousand years searching for it in and under furniture

>my mother brings up the possibility but says she won't call my uncle to tell him because she doesnt want to cause trouble
She already caused trouble by letting that little cunt get away with theft.
I hope you've repeatedly shat on your cousins car by now.

Seriously though. I did lose a shit load of bros, but I did happen to have some transferred to oras. So i'm glad about that
