I’ve never broken a controller but I did smash a Pixel 6 playing CoD Mobile a couple years ago. Haven’t played since.
What was your first controller breaking game experience?
Me? Mega Man 2. Wiley's castle. 10 year old me was not up to snuff. I was so angy.

52 of these worked. Only about 10 of them had things on them. I don’t think most of them had ever been used. Good haul! 😊
I printed boxes for them out of PETG that fit into my camera bag. Each box can holds 10 disks, or 60 “high resolution” digital photos. lol

Oh baby. Nothing gets me more excited than a bubble mailer full of floppy disks. 🥵🥰
For what I paid, if only 20 out of 60 are good, I’ll be happy. 🤞

I purchased a box of 60 used floppy disks that were supposed to be here by today. Looks like it got delayed in Alaska and is gonna take a couple more days. I'm so impatient when it comes to shipping times. I hate waiting. lol
