    That’s a fair assessment. She is the youngest and her asshole siblings would never let her use their game consoles. She didn’t get her own until age 10.

    But to be even more fair, I didn’t get my first console (N64) until I was 9. Some kids were lucky enough to have parents willing to buy them expensive electronics at a younger age. Neither of us were that lucky/spoiled. But my neighbor who was one year younger than me had a SNES and a PC. I didn’t get my own PC until 2004. Until then everyone except my dad had to share the living room computer, and it had the shittiest GPU in the world—GeForce4 MX 4000—which was basically a scam card. But it was good enough to run Driver and Spider-Man (the one based on the first Tobey film), so it was good enough for me. Half-Life 2 was out of the question, though.
