My dad, who has a degree in education and works as a career counselor at a local college, will not properly use bold, italics, or underlining when writing email messages. Instead, he INSISTS on CAPITALIZING certain words for EMPHASIS throughout his WHOLE MESSAGE.

Parents, teachers, bosses, and the general old people population are terrible with technology.
The Controller is Wierd
One day I'm playing Mass Effect 3 and my mom comes in and tells me how cool it looks. So i talk her into making an account and the first three minutes of cutscenes are to boring so i skip them we get to the game and she can figue out what to do she is holding it with 3 fingers and is staring at it intently, after about 10 minutes of trying to figure out how to shoot and move. she literally had to use one stick at a time alternating between aiming and moving she then told me it was to goddamn hard
