I loved my Tonka dump truck as a kid, until some yellow jackets made a nest in it and stung the shit out of me. I still remember 50 plus years later lol.
 
Now THIS is finding GOLD...

An entire pallet of pre-1941 (1937, exceptional quality steel and prewar manufacturing standards) almost-mint grade K98 Mausers... Not just the guns themselves, but the steel used in these guns are labeled by some collectors as "pre-nuclear age", AKA prior to the nuclear tests of post-1945 which had altered the ambient radioisotope quantity in iron ores worldwide.

 
I never saw the big deal about games and never played online, but I played some back in the day when I had no internet or cable and the weather was too bad to do anything outside.

I don’t miss them
I stopped just as online gaming was getting real popular. I just stopped one day and haven’t had any desire to fire the PlayStation back up
 
I played Xbox1. My oldest boy was little when it came out, I had just gotten divorced from his mom... Figured it'd be a big gift that would make me seem cool. The games were honestly way better than anything when I was a kid. We got into call of duty. I played the first couple for the story. Stopped playing at all when he was about 8 or 9 and could stone cold smoke me at anything we tried.
ETA .. That was over 15 years ago.

Played PONG once in a bar 1968, sucked at it , and never played a video game since.

Similar to how the chinese are sending out their maritime salvage ships to recover any and all WW2 ships off the ocean floor, ignoring all historic maritime graveyard protectons on the wrecks.

Well... after I retired...(20 years ago) a friend of mine had an xbox, I would come over, dinner, a drink or two. and we would play Halo, I know...I know.
So I purchased an X box, played Halo, and then bought Bioshock...half way through I started having nightmares, I'm a grown man, 12 months in SEA, and a divorce! .... Got rid of all of it, and am now on a crusade to keep my grandkids off this devil machine!
These games are serious shit, they will f**k up your brain!
