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.)
I love my kid-gamer self.
I was really bad at games, but I would always chalk it up to "I'm just a kid and it's okay to be bad."
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.
