Were there any moments in your life where you got an expensive game at a store, whether it be a local retro game store or another place like Gamestop or Walmart.
Today, I just had this miraculous moment at the local gaming store. A longtime friend of the cashier for the local retro game store lended me a free copy of Xenogears.
I did talk about the
sale here at NeoGaf said I should go get Xenogears over FF7/FF8, and so I checked the local gaming store (Which I frequent to every so often) to see if they had the pre-owned copies of Xenogears left. The cashier said that it was the only copy of the game left, and I was kind of bummed out, because I had personal businesses to take care of on Saturday to bother going to the retro store for the sale. Then the cashier's friend came up and paid it for me out of pure generosity.
He said I would owe him the 48 dollars at any time. Anyone that generous deserves a payment in return. I wanted to cry and deny the generous offer, and I did so several times. But he did it out of wanting to. And I thank him for that. I WILL definitely pay him back one day, I can't let a miracle go to waste without a return. As a result, that moment meant a lot to me and the game is something I'll treasure my whole life.
I was personally stressed out for the long-term with personal stuff about YO-KAI WATCH being a potential failure in the West and how it is a ripoff to most people, and it just hampered my enjoyment when I played games now. And I was going to make an article about the YO-KAI WATCH stuff, but I won't now. This guy single-handedly cheered up my whole negative mood today about me quitting as a gamer. And it made me think, maybe the gaming community is not as bad as I thought I would, you know.
Do you have similar moments to mine? I would love to know!
