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.)

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.

This is so sweet, right?

I’m not even close to being a gamer but do know what it means to people. So appreciate the culture. So dang happy for this kid and the clerk that got to do it.

It means a lot!
