Except stories like this existed way before Reddit did. You're either new to the site in general, or you never went to /b/ when I did ~2007 - 2009, because every day we had this.
It just happens that Reddit is where you find nothing but this type of thing nowadays.
>>3075783
WELL I GUESS THAT MEANS THIS IS GAMEFAQS AS FUCK THEN!Story threads like this are one of the best things to read on 4chan anyway
>>3075783
Because Reddit lives off the worst parts of our already retarded and extensively popularized legacy? Wow Anon, we could be onto something here.

Dude what an asshole. My parents didn't understand the concept of saving either when I was growing up.

Split screen ghosting will always happen because unless your peripheral vision is as shit as a racehorse with blinders there's no way you're not seeing what you're opponents are up to. It's part of the game.

My ex (~21 yrs) did this once while playing Super Mario Bros 3 with my nieces(7-11 yrs) once during a bet they had. Ever since then, they kept asking me when was I going to get a new girlfriend.
