Children who grew up with a Nintendo console were more likely to have parents who hated each other but stayed together due to strange socioreligious beliefs.

genesis was old by 96/97. the playstation and n64 were out.

I had both. SNES and a Genesis with the Sega CD. To this day my dad still thinks Sega should have won. They divorced when I was 11.
>>334588328
what the fuck, buying sega and cartridges in 1997? I thought that shit flied back in like 92-93
My parents are still happily together.

Nope. Never remarried.

Were they really selling it without a 6-button controller past, say, 1992?
>tfw parents were previously married to other people and still love each other to this day
Feels kind of weird knowing my dad's 70 now though, he still acts exactly the same as 20 years ago.

Because I was too busy thinking about this bad boy to even bother with Altered Beasts.

Man that game sucks dick. Everyone recommends it and it plays like ass.
>>334588328
The kids I remember having the Genesis either had parents who were divorced, father/mother dead, parents eventually got divorced, or parents filed for bankruptcy multiple times.
SNES? Parents always there, and one kid ended up being a patent lawyer.
>>334589489
Why would you flat out admit to being underaged?
>>334603051
>and one kid ended up being a patent lawyer.
*yawn* Are we supposed to be impressed by this?
>>334589504
I'm starting to understand why most kids I knew who had the Genesis ended up coming out of the closest many years later.

Yeah, the Genesis taught about personal strength and owning what you are. Nintentoddlers are all just repressed homosexuals who lack the emotional development to express themselves in a mature manner and will always cower in the closet, hating who they are.

My parents wouldn't get us a console when I was little. The first console we ever got was a Sega Genesis. By the time I got my next console, the N64, my parents were divorced. Damn you, Sega.
>>334588328
Holy shit. My parents divorced and it was a bad one. Now I know why.

Yes goy, marriage and nuclear family is only for us Chosen with out backwards beliefs. Make sure to divorce as soon as any light issues arise. Better yet don't both with marriage at all your kids will thank you, why would I lie?

its pretty normal
I had a Sega Genesis, parents never divorced but dad cheated all the time but Mom was whatever about it
>I'm the one who's divorced
Anyone else remember Phantasy Star IV being $99?
I only owned Nintendo consoles up until sometime in the mid 2000s when I ended up getting a Genesis. I got to play one a few years prior but now I had the chance to explore the library outside of Sonic.
Pic related is pretty cool.

Why else would he had bought him a N64 as a replacement?
Joke's on you, my separated parents had never married.

I had a Sega Genesis for a very short time before it was lost in a move, and I never even knew my father. There was no divorce because they were never married.

My parents were divorced for one year, when I was two, and then remarried, staying together after that until my father died.
I owned both consoles.
>>334588328
Im okay now. Though a bit fucked i guess since growing up my mom made me fuck her growing up since courts are gay and give women to much the benefit of doubt whenver i said i wanted to go with my dad. Though i guess the worst part was im guessing as some sort of power play so i wouldn't get to big for my britches since i was fucking her made get fucked by a couple of big dogs as she called me the family bitch as she schliled herself.
Im okay now i guess not great sure but aside from a couple of super weird fetishes and shit im doing okay at least i guess.
Also the genises was pretty neato as well for the time for people who actually knew how to make shit for it and werent just lazy fahs about deving.shit for.it.

>>334588917
None that I know. My uncle, his wife and kids are closest and are a military family.
But they raised their first 2 kids way too strict and I swear fucked up my male cousin, they were like malnourished I think. Both are pretty useless and weird looking.
My grandma gave them ice cream, their first ice cream, and my uncle wouldn't talk to them for a long time.
When they were like 5 and 6, they were freaking out because my mom gave them peppermints, and eating them by handfuls. Their dad walked in and both kids started choking and trying to spit out peppermints.
Drank water only, but were allowed 2 glasses of skim milk a day. Portions were extremely tightly controlled.
Then they had 2 kids much later, and basically let them do what the fuck ever, and those 2 are much more well adjusted and promising.
>tfw never owned a single Sega console in my entire life
>>334588328
Had the NES before the Megadrive. Never had a super nintendo.
My father left less than 3 days after I was born.
I always played the Megadrive before having a Playstation so it works both ways.

America here.
Mom and dad divorced since before I can remember. Haven't seen anyone from my dad's side of the family in 10 years. Haven't seen any of my extended family in quite a while either. Grandmother hates my mom. Uncle hates my mom and sucks up to grandmother that hates my mom. Stepfather doesn't have a job and can't get one because of a criminal record for punching out some dude at an IHOP. I don't have job either and the best I can get are shitty minimum wage jobs. Smallest brother has been homeschooled for about 7 years and probably has fuck all for social skills. Mother breaking her back over her nursing job to support all of us. Only one of us that isn't a screwup is my middle brother who's about to graduate high school with honors, but he'll probably have to go into debt to get into college. None of us have health insurance, so if one of us gets sick or injured, we're probably screwed to high hell.
Thanks for reading my blog.

>Make sure to divorce as soon as any light issues arise.
It's funny because that's completely acceptable in Judaism, while Christianity likens it to adultery.
Hell, in Jewish law, it's completely acceptable to divorce your wife simply because you find another woman more attractive. Don't even need your wife's consent to divorce.
>>334611050
It's not all bad. Slowly I'm getting my own life together. Getting in shape, focusing on getting my GED, and I might even be able to go to a community college around here with money I get from FAFSA. One good thing about not going for so long is that since I'm over 26, my parents aren't expected to contribute, so I get slightly more aid and I don't have to place that burden on my mother.

shut up
>>334588328
My friend's parents divorced when we were kids and he was the only one with a sega console.
Hmm, where does this correlation come from?
>>334612476
Sega consoles were cheaper than Nintendo consoles, at least in the US. They even licensed out the rights for the production of the Genesis to random-ass companies, something unheard of for most consoles even less so today, so you got tons of cheap knockoffs that were more affordable to poorer families.
Since financial issues are the number one cause of divorce, it stands to reason that poorer families are more likely to divorce, and since the Genesis was the cheaper console, poorer families were more likely to buy it.Completely talking out of my ass here though. I don't know if there's any actual correlation, but Sega consoles were cheaper, and it is true that money problems are the number one cause of divorce.

>>334588328
>tfw it's true of my brothers and my sister (well, half siblings)
but not of me, my parents have been together for a bit longer than I've been born and show no signs of leaving each other
played the SNES and Genesis growing up -- family wasn't exactly rich, but we were definitely well to do pre-9/11 (which is a good mile marker for when my family stopped being describable as wealthy), so I had loads of games and two systems to play, had the best of both worlds and (mostly) good parents
>>334588328
Can confirm.
