    I grew up poor. What drift? I grew up on mouse and keyboard because a computer was also useful for schoolwork and it’s not like it was a gaming PC anyway, it was really crappy but could play GTA San Andreas at 20 fps.

    Keyboard and mouse cost like 5 euros a piece to replace, though I don’t believe I ever needed to replace a keyboard.

      Can’t have drift if you don’t have analog controls ¯_(ツ)_/¯ The pain I experienced as a kid was finding a PC controller, working a full day to get the thing working, only to realize it is complete ass, man did I respect console controllers after that.

        Oh man I remember that controller. There was a little stick you could screw into the d-pad that was a bit of help for some games, but it was all pain after a while

      I smashed several keyboards getting frustrated playing fifa. I inherited a bad loser temperament that I have worked very hard on to lose. I did manage to get rid of it, only when I’m very very drunk and probably shouldn’t be allowed to play games it still pops up, but that hasn’t happened for a couple of years now.

      I grew up poor. What drift? And what mouse?

      My NES and 6 games were absolutely fantastic in 1996, thank you very much
