I can't see SMB3 without remembering that once I was playing it with my brother and my dad comes in, saying he hates that game.
Later, we ask him why does he hate the game, he says he's really got no reasons, but still hates the game.
My dad would routinely come in and see anything we had going on the TV, from cartoons to video games, and express how much he hated that thing, or how he didn't understand how we could enjoy it.
Parents out there... don't do this. Stop feeling envious or resentful of children for being able to be happy.
One of my father's girlfriends did this to my younger brother and I as kids. She legitimately hated it when we experienced any kind of joy or contentment and would immediately try to cut us down or cause a problem to ruin it. She is one of the few people I've met in life that I consider a truly bad person.
That sounds like some serious jealousy/resentment/narcissism, I'm sorry you had to go through that.
I would get this kind of weird "what the heck are you watching/playing" criticism and I think it was mainly a weird play to get to the TV so he could watch football or screaming heads cable news. . .
I felt really self conscious about anything I chose to watch myself in full view for a long time. Namely anime. Anime always knew when a parental figure lurked nearby and would choose that moment to get really weird.
