it's fall. Let's have some comfy /vr/ stories, please!

>Winter day in 1990's New Zealand
>Played every single copied Commodore 64 game I own, many to completion
>Probably 200+ cracked games on floppies
>Bored, ask dad for more games
>Dad calls his mate from work
>Comes home an hour later, throws me a bag of lollies and a packet of chips
>"Thanks, dad!" - but a little sad I see no games
>"Oh, the games are on the table"
>Rush out, two full disk holders of games, maybe 100 disks
>Best day ever, so many new games and a few working copies of games I already had that never worked.

Fall in love with Bubble Bobble, Defender of the Crown, Bionic Commando, etc.

>Probably 200+ cracked games on floppies
The times when we played everything, regardless of quality... When I got my hands on the first GBA Goodset in 2002 or 2003 I also played each and every single game, even the Japanese ones I couldn't even understand.

Not him but there's nothing comfier than playing vidya inside on a rainy day. Wrapped up on the couch with some cocoa. Or in bed reading comics.

OP was probably just trying to set the mood.

>Winter Break, 3 days after Christmas 1996

>friends come over to play vidya
>Just got a Saturn for Christmas, my buddy got an N64

Not particularly "comfy," but whatever:

Go to Grandmother's house on Christmas Eve. Get imported (Japanese) Pokemon Gold...
HOLY SHIT THIS GAME THAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR FOREVER IS HERE

Also lying down on the very white carpet of my grandmother's house as I played Wario Land on the GameBoy without a care in the world.

>My friend's 10th birthday in September of 2000
>He got an N64 with Ocarina of Time
>Everyone is invited, we all sit around his 13inch crt TV
>Everyone in awe as the title screen appears
>"Holy shit look at those GRAPHICS"
>friend's mother asks when we want to eat
>nobody says anything
>everybody is staring at the TV as link walks around Kokiri forest
I never had an N64 myself but this moment alone makes me feel extremely nostalgic for Ocarina of Time.

>Massive blizzards the Northeast
>Everything is closed for 3 days
>Store doesn't charge for days it isn't open

I don't really have fall game experiences, I don't think.

I mostly remember playing GB in a backseat, a lot of Mario Land 2 and Pokemon Trading Card Game and Mario Tennis and Link's Awakening.

Those were the days

>>3561763
Good for you since life for me was never comfy we were to many people on too little housing space and was living on a street where there was no kids my age.
The ones I met later stole things,broke things,and treated me like shit because they found it fun.

>>3563938
Where and when did you grow up?

>>3563979
I was born right after the collapse of the Soviet Union living in a small town somewhere in eastern europe.
Ive lived through post-communism period of political and economic transformation also called "transition" where my parents were barely getting by,they had it rough to say the least and were living with my grandparents in their house while having two other kids.
Its all bad memories i dont want to remember.

>>3563317
Maybe Folgers, or Campbell's Soup.

>>3563989
Here's a tip: Don't visit /vr/, a board mainly founded on Western nostalgia

>>3564014
There are still threads about famiclones here and there,im ok with it and can provide some perspective.
And yes famiclones here were selling like hot cakes up to 1997-98

The only memories I have of those young days are the ones where I got injuried or did something stupid.

Fuck.

>tfw too much of a babby to have retro comfy.

Closest i ever got to some real /vr/ comfy was playing Trackmania, some random flashgame platformer where you played as a turtle and Wipeout during a fairly big storm we had in '04.
Your wouldnt think so but the techno OST of wipeout lends itself very well to snuggles at midnight during a storm.

>Live in Mexico central area
>Christmas 1998
>Travel to Cd. Juarez to visit family
>That 90s-early 00's feeling in the city, both mexican and american.
>My cousin tells me to follow him to his room
>When i enter the room i see a tiny 13'' crtv
>I was looking at a coloured old man with moustache
>Super Mario 64
>Spend last 98' week playing Mario 64 without stop in the cold city
>Since then my favorite console and one of my favorite games.

>>3564387
>old man

Mario is CLEARLY in his mid 20s - Miyamoto told us as much!

>>3564429
Wait, I'm older than Mario?

>>3561863
Well, other than snow, yeah. I used to love playing games set in the winter or with a winter theme while it's cold, windy, and snowing outside. Alas, we all have to grow up, and now I have to work when it snows. Still have comfy memories though.

>>3561763
>Mid October
>Get up 5:30 with my alarm and it's pitch black outside
>Make a cup of tea and put it in a thermos
>Head out into the cold and as the sky finally lightens there's a dense fog

>Wonderful comfy autumn feelings
That was this morning.
