uh, well at the age I am now, I'm not proud to say that as a kid, when I said i wanted a computer, dad brought one home, when I said I wanted a better computer, dad brought one home, so on and so on.

I didn't start to educate myself in computer/IT stuff until i was like 20, they were just gaming consoles that you could watch porn and do homework on AFAIK at the time.

My parents were good people that worked hard and may have taken the idea of american consumerism a little too far. They were both children of immigrants who fled Korea and Germany during the wars.

If you are able spoil your kids, definitely do so! but I would advise making damn sure they understand where it all comes from before the age of 15. my parents died of separate natural causes when i was like 22~ then I had some hard lessons to learn, that I had to learn real fast, otherwise things could have ended up very differently to where I am today.

thats life tho right?

It wasn't common in era, bro.

Not going to mess with your story here, I can't verify anything personal. It was your assertion, bold assertion that this computer stuff was normal, common and OK when most families might've had a single computer and it sat in the kitchen.

The house had a single phone line, a nice house at that. Your personal story is cool but recognize the difference. The argument was about in era stuff, it wasn't normal or common for a family to have more than one computer, let alone for playing a game or watching porno, and paying the prices for all that.

Consoles beat Computers (Windows Desktop) in the wars because guess what is under everyones tree? it wasn't some niche high-end Alienware with the latest 3D accelerators and sound cards, it was a console. It's Xbox gaming, you would think today with as common as being a "gamer" is then families would have like 5 consoles in the living room, all xboxes or playstations, and they just bounce back and forth owning noobs on COD or something. Nah man, they have one box.
