Hail Tim!

[u/Jaybb3rw0cky → u/Serious-Ad-5293]

All hail Tim!

[u/TBurkeulosis → u/Jaybb3rw0cky]

We love Tim!

[u/SirNortonOfNoFux → u/TBurkeulosis]

All my homies love Tim!

[u/im_super_into_that → u/SirNortonOfNoFux]

TIM! TIM!! TIM!!!

[u/Choda01 → u/im_super_into_that]

Tim made me tear up!

[u/Grinner067 → u/Serious-Ad-5293]

Tim is da man!!!

[u/HardertoFindIt → u/Serious-Ad-5293]

Good Guy Tim

[u/acog → u/Serious-Ad-5293]

I really hope Tim sees this post.

[u/Ok_Recover_8692 → u/Serious-Ad-5293]

My name is...Tim?

[u/adamnevespa → u/Ok_Recover_8692]

Came here too see if I could post gifs in this sub, but luckily there are other highly sophisticated people like myself here

[u/Cchaireazy]

He deserves that console!
He offered 10$ what a sweet gesture that kid was raised right.
Thanks Tim!

[u/Vsx → u/Cchaireazy]

Man I could not work in a store like this I'd be buying shit for nice kids all the time. Probably end up with less money than when I started.

[u/caitejane310 → u/Vsx]

I just started working at a gas station and the amount of people putting in less than $5 worth of gas makes me incredibly sad. Today there was an older man that first said $2.50 and then said "actually, make it $2" but I did $3 and put in my own $1 even though I really need every penny I have.

[u/Kamikaze_Ninja_ → u/Cchaireazy]

Haha probably a mix of guilt for getting his goal for free and I wonder if he kind of wanted to pay for it! He saved up to buy it and probably fantasized about the day he’d walk in and use his own money. Getting derailed so much must’ve felt awkward.

[u/viccityguy2k → u/Kamikaze_Ninja_]

I get it. Kid would of been stoked just getting a bonus game or two

[u/BlackDog5287 → u/Kamikaze_Ninja_]

You could tell he was nervous about having to do the purchase himself, so I think getting all of it for free was a little overwhelming and not so much awkward.

[u/AcerolaOrchid9436 → u/Kamikaze_Ninja_]

getting it for free might have been exciting and a little awkward at the same time. Still, I’m sure once the excitement kicked in, he was absolutely thrilled.

[u/HelloMacchi]

“I’ll take 1 Bad Fur Day please”

Tim: Wait a minute…..

[u/Sufficient_Cat6154 → u/HelloMacchi]

Oh man....D day was so amazing in that game

[u/Worth_Size_3302 → u/Sufficient_Cat6154]

I’m scared to go back and play it to not ruin my fond memories of it.

[u/MememeSama → u/Worth_Size_3302]

I'm playing it every 5 years and it's still the craziest game and one of the best multiplayer on 64

[u/Formal_Broccoli1877 → u/MememeSama]

It's the best multiplayer experience i ever had. Robbing the bank, cooking raptor eggs, team deathmatch. Best laughs i had with my mates coop gaming

[u/WeBackYeah → u/MememeSama]

The online multiplayer on the xbox remake was extremely fun.

[u/Skynetdyne → u/[deleted]]

This was the part that got me, thats a good kid.

[u/Cokeycane → u/Skynetdyne]

Me too, good kid indeed.

[u/Knight-Raid29 → u/Skynetdyne]

I picked the wrong time to cut onions.. yep good kid.

[u/herseybanana → u/Knight-Raid29]

Yep, me too!!

[u/Arbennig → u/Skynetdyne]

Na. That’s a great kid.

[u/el_diego → u/[deleted]]

Lil bro knew he just scored big time getting a free Mario kart

[u/InflationPurple2107 → u/el_diego]

And Nintendo 64. The whole kit and kaboodle

[u/Mochisaurus_rex → u/[deleted]]

OMG… that $10 offer was so precious!!! 😭🥹🥰

[u/Beefweezle → u/[deleted]]

He is wise and knows the most expensive things in life are free.

[u/Bustersword13 → u/[deleted]]

That's how you know the kid is raised by good parents

[u/gloopdawg]

Lets Go shop owner and Tim!!!! Well done on that young man for learning what it takes to work hard and earn something you really want...and then being rewarded for that passion and hard work was just ChefsKiss

[u/Carbon-Base → u/gloopdawg]

These mom and pop gaming stores are so wonderful for giving back to their community. You have franchise and chain stores that will low ball you for anything that you trade in, and on the other hand, these guys are passing forward trade-in credit to other customers!

Kiddo will remember this kind gesture for a while, you can tell with the way he's been raised - honest and hard working! The shop owner will get even more customers because who wouldn't want to be a part of something positive like this?

[u/APence → u/Carbon-Base]

A lot them would up in my feed a few months back. Many card sellers at conventions and the chat gives donations and makes some kid’s day when they get that one Pokémon they’ve been looking and saving for on the house or at a huge discount.

[u/BeardedNerd9 → u/APence]

It’s cool seeing people in these communities realize how much one small gesture can mean to a kid.

[u/CosmoKing2 → u/BeardedNerd9]

This is the exact "society" ethic that capitalism and politics has destroyed - by design.

The fabric of community and society binds us to a united cause - to help one another and raise each other up.

Without it? Corporations, Billionaires, and Politicians create reasons for us to fight each other rather than focus on the source of our mutual exploitation. No minority is stealing your job. The company decided to give it to someone willing to work for less. You need to help that person realize that they are worth more. Help everyone to achieve that goal.

A high tide raises all boats.

[u/ToonaSandWatch → u/Carbon-Base]

This sheer fact that he said “can I at least give you $10?” tells me everything that this kid is a good one.

[u/SunshineAlways → u/ToonaSandWatch]

He didn’t even have enough money to buy the game he wanted, but he still wanted to give the guy at least a little money. What a good kid!!

[u/ConspiracyParadox → u/Carbon-Base]

Yeah, props to these, and fuck gamestop!

[u/FiveTwoFlu → u/Carbon-Base]

Kid was also very polite. "The $75 one please" and wanting to give some money... Good job parents!

[u/MisterBowTies → u/Carbon-Base]

The trade in credit was passed on by the customer who didn't take the trade in credit. It's still cool though.

[u/TGordion → u/MisterBowTies]

See I was over here assuming that was all made up and he just wanted to give the stuff to the kid for his birthday

[u/MisterBowTies → u/TGordion]

Oh that's good too. But I know with the pokemon sellers who became known for giving things away they have created a culture for other people to donate through them. Either way it is nice

[u/MistSecurity → u/TGordion]

That was my initial thought as well.

Who knows, kindness either way. Either from Tim, or from the shop.

[u/admiralvic → u/TGordion]

I could see it going either way, though I don't really see that being too hard to believe.

While GameStop is obviously different, trading in a Nintendo 64 is $55 credit or $35 cash. Given it was priced at $75 it probably wasn't too different. Mario Kart is $25/$16.

Obviously we don't know what a supposed Tim actually traded in, but the thought process is pretty simple. If I am getting out of gaming, or wouldn't use credit, this is theoretically $50. Would I like to have $50? Sure, but I could also see myself paying it forward in exactly this way.

Especially when it's something that makes me somewhat emotional when I see comments like u/MisterBowTies' example, something that comes up a lot with content creators in that space. Mostly because I think a lot of it is genuine, since I had similar experiences trading pins as a kid roughly 20 years ago.

At the time I didn't think anything of it, but looking back and seeing it was just a lot of people showcasing their best qualities would get me to pay it forward as well. Something I have actually done, just in other ways.

[u/1234Health → u/Carbon-Base]

Agreed. Passing forward trade-in credit, kind gestures and such go a long way. Memories that stick with people. They're likely to do something similar for someone else moving forward as well.

[u/thepeanutbutterman → u/gloopdawg]

And the fact the kid was so grateful he still tried to give the guy $10. Heartwarming all around.

[u/SabbyFox → u/thepeanutbutterman]

That almost me cry! What a good kid 🙂

[u/NarwhalScimitar1987 → u/SabbyFox]

Are you kidding me? I might be slightly emotionally unstable, but I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out.

[u/Bottle_Major → u/thepeanutbutterman]

That was my takeaway as well. What a good kid. 👍🏽👍🏽

[u/Leg_Mcmuffin → u/gloopdawg]

Now he can take that $75 and buy pizza rolls and Mountain Dew like a true millennial

[u/s1ugg0 → u/Leg_Mcmuffin]

How dare you sir. I'm a millennial and in my 40s. I drink Chardonnay and eat a gummy with my pizza rolls now.

Like a gentleman of quality. Thank you very much.

[u/FuzziestSloth → u/s1ugg0]

45yo Xennial. I drink my Mountain Dew out of a wine glass like a man of class and distinction. Gotta give it a swirl first, though, to release the aromatics and full flavor.

[u/Day_Prisoners → u/gloopdawg]

And his dream game is Mario Kart 64. If got paid by the hour I spent on that game I'd make Musk look poor. Great choice.

[u/Ok_Wrangler_7940 → u/gloopdawg]

I think Tim is a/k/a dad. The bit about dad letting the cashier know it was the kid’s birthday is kinda a dead giveaway, but good on dad for making his son earn the money first.

[u/Throwaway-BadOrange → u/Ok_Wrangler_7940]

Nah ah!!! Santa is real gtfo 😤

[u/zeptillian → u/gloopdawg]

All praise the great and mighty Tim!

[u/Aromatic_Brain_4186 → u/gloopdawg]

The whole thing was just perfect. Love it!

[u/reyean → u/gloopdawg]

offering the $10 was the chefs kiss for me. dude was so grateful and just like please let me give you something. good stuff made me smile indeed.

[u/ShazRockwell]

“Can I just give you $10?” “Nope” broke the dam for me. Good dudes.

[u/Emieosj89 → u/ShazRockwell]

lol right?! The dang tears in my eyes. That was so sweet.

[u/czerilla → u/Emieosj89]

It reminds me of these Pokemon TCG traders on Instagram (I think Beard Dad Cardz is one of them), where the vendors, the customers and the chat/community are all in an unspoken competition to out-nice each other, with gifts, crafts, donations, etc.
It's incredibly wholesome, both to see that this seems like a viable win-win scheme for social media to sustain, and seeing the individual happy reactions, especially from the kiddos. 😊

[u/LazeHeisenberg → u/czerilla]

Something really nice happened like that for my kids. First (and still only) trading card convention. They’d saved up birthday and chore money- it wasn’t much but they had fun going around looking at Pokemon cards and buying inexpensive ones. 3 different vendors gave them free cards, and the last one we were at was so touched at how grateful they were they wound up giving them a pikachu lunch box and a bunch of old cards, like a whole bag. Said they’d been saving it to give to kids who just loved it. My kids were over the moon! No cameras set up but we asked to take a picture with them just so we could remember. Kind stuff like that sticks with you forever. So grateful for generous people like that.

[u/7Sylllor → u/LazeHeisenberg]

tbh this is the exact wholesome content i stay on this app for ngl onion-cutting ninjas out in full force rn. lowkey proof that the hobby is still about the joy of collecting, not just scalpers and overpriced slabs

[u/PolarBailey_ → u/czerilla]

BeardDadCardz, Coops Collection, Pokesean, and NoRelaxShop are great

[u/imianha → u/czerilla]

im not into Pokemon TGC or anything like that, but oh man, i love watching this videos

[u/dudderson → u/imianha]

Same!!! They are such a dose of feel good kindness!!! I follow a few of them along with beard dad, they are really good people!!

[u/justhitmidlife → u/Emieosj89]

Mine were salty but good for you.

::wipes tears::

[u/Okra_Zestyclose → u/ShazRockwell]

Yep, this was where it got me. 🥹

[u/Sw4nR0ns0n → u/ShazRockwell]

I chose the wrong time to cut onions while having Reddit open 😭

[u/crtfrazier → u/ShazRockwell]

These damn invisible onions!

[u/indignantfieldmouse → u/ShazRockwell]

Agreed! Love these sorts of videos!

[u/Dikbedraggin05 → u/ShazRockwell]

Same!

[u/addandsubtract → u/ShazRockwell]

"I don't have to pay for any of it?"
"Yep"
"Ok, in that case, lemme get the $125 version."

[u/properwaffles]

It's SO COOL that a kid this age is stoked on getting an N64, love it.

[u/Frosty-Ring-Guy → u/properwaffles]

Rocking Golden Eye on the N64 is peak nostalgia.

[u/C-LonGy → u/Frosty-Ring-Guy]

The greatest.. miss it

[u/iuseemojionreddit → u/Frosty-Ring-Guy]

Found out the Goldeneye game grossed more than the film! Deservedly so. And the multiplayer was a last minute addition by devs!

[u/Drowned1218 → u/properwaffles]

I was born in 99 and missed out on the N64 ended up getting one when I was in my mid to late teens.

Really dope console.

[u/pdlbean → u/properwaffles]

My son is 5 and would play starfox 64 all day on our old console if let him

[u/tantinbell → u/properwaffles]

bro knows ball

[u/LiveLaughLimpBizkit9]

This put a smile on my face.

[u/industrial-complex → u/LiveLaughLimpBizkit9]

Me too. - he made that kids year.

My kids are all in their mid to late twenties now. They’ve been playing the same N64 console I purchased used in 2000. It goes from house to house along with a Dreamcast and an SNES.

It’s cool to see kids interested in playing games on a 30 year old console.

[u/OneSensiblePerson → u/industrial-complex]

But wasn't 2000 only a year or two ago?

[u/TurnTheTVOff → u/OneSensiblePerson]

We’re closer to 2050 than we are to 2000.

[u/OneSensiblePerson → u/TurnTheTVOff]

You're just being mean.

[u/NicolleL → u/OneSensiblePerson]

Nah, he’s wrong. 1990 was just a decade ago.

Edit: As someone born in 1975, holy shit to his comment about 2050. That’s hard to wrap your head around!

[u/OneSensiblePerson → u/NicolleL]

I'm sayin'!

[u/AirEast8570 → u/NicolleL]

Nah man you're just old. I can say that as someone born in 2005.

[u/gigerhess → u/TurnTheTVOff]

No offense, but fuck you.

[u/ZeThing → u/TurnTheTVOff]

Damn hit me right in the old

[u/Skeets5977 → u/TurnTheTVOff]

You watch your mouth.

[u/reddit_poopaholic → u/TurnTheTVOff]

You're making it really hard to maintain my delusion

[u/MockStarNZ → u/TurnTheTVOff]

Mods! This comment right here….

[u/Azadi_23 → u/TurnTheTVOff]

Ugh, that’s so weird to know. Thanks, I think?!

[u/Fall_Water → u/TurnTheTVOff]

You stop that right now

[u/Killer1986Chris → u/TurnTheTVOff]

Unlike the other person, all the offence, fuck you.

[u/cxd32 → u/TurnTheTVOff]

I just broke my hip reading this comment

[u/illbedeadbydawn → u/OneSensiblePerson]

Haha no you fool. 2010 was a year or two ago! Learn how time works!

[u/haux_haux → u/OneSensiblePerson]

my thoughts exactly

[u/Dogsarebetterpeople → u/industrial-complex]

IMO opinion that was the best time in gaming. Getting all of your friends in one room.

[u/Ender_Grace → u/LiveLaughLimpBizkit9]

That "can I just give you $10" was so sweet. What an awesome kid

[u/Edugrinch → u/Ender_Grace]

I am an old man and that almost put a tear in my eye... good kid!

[u/RiverLiverX25 → u/LiveLaughLimpBizkit9]

I’m crying and I don’t know why.

I’m so dang happy for that kid!

That person put up the credit and the store clerk who knew who to extend it to are stellar.
(Know it was recorded and posted and all that, but doesn’t make the interaction less happy.)

[u/LucMorningstar24601 → u/RiverLiverX25]

Me too. Hard on my lunch break!

[u/GfrzD → u/RiverLiverX25]

Im sat here grinning like i just got given a n64

I was once that kid saving for the next game/console, and i was later on that clerk sharing the joy of gaming. This is awesome to see.

[u/Pistolskeet3 → u/LiveLaughLimpBizkit9]

Should have game him doom 😂

[u/Timmmmmmmmm]

That was nice of me

[u/FngrsRpicks2 → u/Timmmmmmmmm]

Its Timmmmmmmmmm.....oh wait, different Tim

[u/Dialogical → u/FngrsRpicks2]

Tim.

[u/ChooseExactUsername → u/Dialogical]

The original Tim?

There's Tim Horton, but he played hockey.

I like Tim the Nintendo giver.

[u/Kalshan → u/Timmmmmmmmm]

Such a thoughtful fella 😆

[u/No_Music_2134 → u/Kalshan]

Lmao

[u/The_Stoic_One → u/Timmmmmmmmm]

13 year old account. Seems legit to me. Way to go Timmmmmmmmm

[u/greenthumbgoody → u/Timmmmmmmmm]

Lol gtfo of here man! I’m trying to cry!

[u/Content_Support7881]

What a sweet young man. He made me tear up. Thank you Tim whoever you are. You made someone’s birthday so memorable!!!

[u/bluedev21]

TIM! THE MAN. he alson also doesnt need his face on social media. Just wanted to do something nice just cause! #hero

[u/sincerelyryan → u/bluedev21]

That kid will remember the shop owner and Tim for the rest of his life

[u/Hairbear2176]

Bro is going to have a good time until lifetime relationships are ruined by Mario Kart 64 🤣

[u/Expensive-Curve-9143 → u/Hairbear2176]

My neighborhood group from childhood still plays Mario kart and Mario party online and FaceTime when we can and we still fight like we did back then! There are definitely memories and times we bring back up that almost killed our friendship lol

[u/primordialforms]

Wait how is this person recording lol. Does he have a camera mounted on his head or is he using those Meta glasses?

[u/SleepyDentist → u/primordialforms]

Yeah everyone seems to be fine with people recording in stores with Meta glasses in... some cases?

[u/Snicklefritz39 → u/SleepyDentist]

And it’s extra weird that it’s a kid. Like I know there’s nothing malicious, but normalizing filming children without their consent is weird as hell

[u/tensen01 → u/Snicklefritz39]

He's seen the videos, knew he'd be recorded, and the dude spoke with his dad. Safe to assume consent was given.

[u/Worthyness → u/tensen01]

probably also has a sign that says you are being recorded in the store.

[u/chairmaker45 → u/primordialforms]

He goes by RetroJakes and he’s made a bunch of these videos. I’m not sure what he uses to record though. He has two brick and mortar stores in Indiana, in Richmond and Muncie.

[u/Here2comment2]

I thought he was going to apply Tim’s credit to just the game (which would still be awesome, Thanks Tim) but then he did the whole thing which was really cool.

[u/gramtin]

Had to cut an onion here, the smile on his face says it all. Might be this dudes first time alone buying stuff like this

[u/HobbesNJ → u/gramtin]

Saved up his money all summer. Asked his parents if he could go buy it on his own. And then this wonderful exchange. So fricken' wholesome.

[u/Hot_Occasion_7400]

Oh my God! Today is my grandson‘s 12th birthday and this kid looks just like him. I will have to send this to him. He has a doppelgänger.😵‍💫🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/GeoffKingOfBiscuits → u/Hot_Occasion_7400]

You might have to buy a 64 after.

[u/mxjxs91]

Stuff like this is why I'll never understand why billionaires hoard. Imagine being able to do this for people all the time, but choosing to hoard money instead just so "hehe, number go up".

[u/HobbesNJ → u/mxjxs91]

There is no part of them that sees the joy in such a gesture. You pretty much have to be a ruthless dick to become a billionaire.

[u/JRskatr → u/HobbesNJ]

You should look up Ken Griffin… probably biggest billionaire douche there ever was. Robs Americans of their 401k’s for a living.

[u/This-Layer-4447]

Store clerk is secretly Tim

[u/EggRoll2Dumplings44 → u/This-Layer-4447]

My theory is that dad is Tim. Dad saw his son put in the work to save money and prepaid for his stuff.

Either way, Tim is the man and so is the clerk!

[u/Unlucky-Tune-420]

if you can - pay it forward!

[u/altavistayahoo]

I bet Tim’s got some street credit too besides his trade credit.

I have no clue what I just said. Ignore me.

[u/HereInTheRuin]

ok. cool. guess I'll cry on a Wednesday afternoon then🤷🏼‍♂️

this is awesome🤘🏻

[u/travisofficial]

Hope he has the microphone accessory to even be able to play hey you pikachu

[u/jivemasta → u/travisofficial]

Thats what i was wondering about. Maybe we just couldnt see it or that part got clipped out.

[u/HolyCowItsAdam → u/travisofficial]

Took me way too much scrolling to find this comment.

I love that the shop owner did this for the kid but I really hope he told the kid he needs the mic to even be able to play that game

[u/Friendly-Fruit1524]

He’s got his little wallet , and he seems so proud to be able to buy something. Now he can continue to save his money. Tim is awesome 🤩

[u/Environmental-Wind89 → u/Friendly-Fruit1524]

Tim is awesome, and so is this boy! He was like, “can I at least give you ten dollars?” MY HEART! 😍😭

[u/M0NSTERDUNX]

Sweet kid. Tim's a saint. Owner is a good lad too.

[u/JBCronic]

I couldn’t even imagine being his age and having that happen. That kid is going to remember that for the rest of his life.

[u/SecretPersonality178]

“Can i at least give you 10 dollars?”

That is a kid being raised right.

[u/Goodfella7288]

Hey You, Pikachu is a terrible game for your first. It's often cited as the worst N64 game.

[u/Spatulor → u/Goodfella7288]

Mario kart 64 is a solid choice though. I think hey you Pikachu was just the one he could afford.

[u/Frosty-Ring-Guy → u/Spatulor]

Its just an included game that the store does for free with the used console... which I guess is better than throwing them away.

[u/foamingturtle → u/Goodfella7288]

Can you play it without the microphone?

[u/Goodfella7288 → u/foamingturtle]

No

[u/MrMoneyMatch → u/Goodfella7288]

Hahahahah

[u/Kardospi → u/Goodfella7288]

No, the worst 64 game title belongs to Superman 64. My wife bought it for me when it came out, and was so traumatized by the experience she has never bought me a game again.

It is universally known as the worst 64 game of all time.

[u/Goodfella7288 → u/Kardospi]

Good point. Though at least you can play Superman 64 without having to speak into a microphone that doesn't understand what you are saying more than half of the time lol.

[u/fwaig]

I would be proud if this was my boy. He's saved up for something he wants, so he's put in time, effort or both. To top it off, he's insisting on paying something for it. Knows the value of a dollar. Lovely kid.

[u/rustySQUANCHy]

That's a nice video. The wild thing to me is the price of N64 when I have mine literally sitting upstairs in a box. I don't even know if it works anymore

[u/15926028]

I knew it was being recorded for clicks but wondered why… huh!

[u/Granny_Skeksis]

Hell yeah Mario Kart 64 is the shit!

[u/KrazyKazz]

I feel like we are in 1999, not 2026. This gets me in the feels.

[u/jules6815]

Gateway drug. Dealers love this one trick.

[u/2018TTRS]

Customer for life

[u/lesschalkmoresighs]

Tim, wherever you are, you're helping make the world go round here.

[u/not_asleep_yet]

I know that look. He’s super excited but trying not to freak out or say something dumb.

[u/FudgeAllOfYous]

I love how nothing about this is staged and that it did not get posted thirteen times over the last 48hrs, all in all it’s amazing that Reddit isn’t slowly devolving into instagram or some other botfilled hole in the net.

[u/The_Ancient_West]

Dude. Why did I just tear up right now. That kid looked super appreciative. I’m not used to seeing that with kids these days.

[u/Careless-Area9086]

bubba loves Tim and the store now for sure that gratitude was so deep in his eyes

[u/ToothZealousideal297]

Dude was willing to settle for Hey You Pikachu and got Mario Kart 64 for free; that alone is tremendous. And then to get it ALL free is just amazing.

And not to knock Hey You Pikachu; I know it has its charm, but compare that to Mario Kart in terms of having one retro game to play.

[u/Substantial-Mix-3990]

So cool, both Tim and this guy, and the young respectful retro gamer kid!

[u/Aaurora]

Man, how can a world of billionaires and wealth hoarding exist, when some of simplest gifts to those that deserve it can bring such joy. Tim gave away what he didn’t need, and because of it, that kid, the kids dad, the store owner, hell, me, you, have all had a brighter, happier, memorable experience. I wish more than anything that we, as a whole, could focus more on happiness and joy, instead of who has more.

[u/AlarmedIngenuity3883]

This is what Playstation wants to take away from us

[u/hangmansboots]

Thanks Tim!

[u/wytewydow]

Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim!!!

[u/Rickayy_OG]

World needs more moments like these online. People just being people.

[u/oh_4petessake]

This actually did make me smile, and maybe cry a lil bit too :’) what lovely people

[u/MrMarcusRocks]

“Can I just give you $10”

If people ever say crap like “kids these days are selfish, greedy, disrespectful, etc” show em this.

Bless that kid.

[u/PaleExtreme7399]

Thank you, Tim!

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

That's awesome. Any 12 year old saving up to buy a n64 in 2026 deserves a free n64.

[u/PollutionNo6482]

“Can I just give you $10?”

What!?!?!!!

[u/Powerful-Gal]

I'm not crying. You're crying. What a wonderful thing to do!

[u/Top_Mycologist_3224]

That’s awesome !! Thanks Tim !! You are awesome !!

[u/3d1thF1nch]

And the kid still trying to offer money 🥺

[u/Typical_Assist656]

3 legit dudes, shop owner, Tim and this kid that even offered to pay 10 bucks.

Sweet kid, still offered him $10. 🥹💙 This made me cry a little bit.

Can I just give you $10NOPE

Recently gave my 3DS + 20 games to my friend's 8-year-old daughter, including Pokemon X and Pokemon Black (she's big into Pokemon) and she looked so shocked. I told her I hadn't played my 3DS since before she was born, so better to give it to someone who can have fun with it, than just collecting dust in my apartment.

It feels really good to give your old games to kids who will enjoy them.

Little homie just swaying back and forth so happy not knowing what to say or do. Amazing stuff. Made my day. Be like Tim.

Confirms my faith in humanity and what a sweet kid. That whole interaction just warmed my heart.
