Fuck, I never would think to throw my controller at the screen!
I also don't ever throw my controllers in general. Why would I want to break them? Lol.

When you're a small child and you get extremely frustrated about dying to the same boss one too many times in a row, you have to vent that somehow.
It only happened once, I got so frustrated I bit the controller and threw it. You can still see the bite marks. (I was at most 11 years old.)

Things made in the 80s never broke.
Except for the people 🥲
Yeah man! As a thing made in the 80s myself, I gotta tell ya, I'm feeling pretty broken these days.
But I don't blame the build quality, I blame the 8 year old, that dude will be the death of me.
