Oh man, my mom would tell this story about me sobbing after I played the '95 Sega Frankenstein cabinet at a laundromat when I was four or five. She thought I was scared of the monster (which is a pretty good guess, those stitches could be pretty visceral for a kid!) but eventually she pieced together though my sniffles that I was upset about "not actually being able to control the ball." She tried to soothe me about it for ages but I just refused to calm down or agree with anything she was saying. Baby's first existential crisis lol. I'd completely forgotten about it until I got a job at an arcade as a teen & started to get really into pinball & she was like... are you sure you're ok with this? Like, no mom, I'm freaking out about the inconsequential nature of humanity at all times at my part time after school job!!! Lol. Anyway, just really loved how you put that. Totally agree it's powerful stuff especially for a developing mind
