I made a joke about how Russia was a bit behind in video game tech in the 90's and got banned, lol.

How thin skinned. Heck, I was buying 2600 stuff in 1996. It was retro by that point.

Right?

Dude really got pissed. I remember getting some pirated games from Estonia in the 90's and Estonia was halfway further to the West than Russia.

In 1996, the N64 was released. Unfortunately it took until the spring of 1997 for my dad to get us one. I fucking loved him for that. The most amazing suprise in my life. It wasn't a christmas, a birthday, nothing. Dad just got us a N64 as a surprise. Fucking 3D gaming, flying around in Star Wars ships. It was AMAZING. RIP Dad
