    Growing up in rural America this is literally my childhood, our "playroom" that all the neighborhood kids would come hang out to play Halo and Resident Evil literally looked like this

        We would sit on plastic lawn chairs (indoors) cause the dingy couch was uncomfortable and too far from the screen

        And we'd drink these huge packs of Gatorade and capri-sun my mom would buy every week, Yu-gi-oh card were always scattered about, and this one kid would bring these delicious mini corn dogs his mom bought from the piggly wiggly

        I'm Arab, how the fuck do I have one of the most quintessential American upbringings on this site, shit is tripping me out just thinking back on it :stalin-stressed:

            One of my best friends in early childhood was literally named Hunter, and if you think that's trippy half the kids who hung out in the playroom were white passing Native Americans

            A staple of Southern American retail capitalism that should be classified as an SCP.......and the place my mama bought Gatorade and corn dogs

        We had a .22 rifle and a high-powered pellet gun, naturally we were only allowed to mess around with the pellet gun
