People of Reddit, What are your "core memories" (a la Inside Out)?

  • Trading pokemons with the girl I liked on my 8th birthday. Then we battled and I won. I remember having a tactic that made the match

  • The moment I got severely shouted down for something that wasn't really my fault. This lead to me developing social anxiety

  • Sneaking into my brothers room every saturday morning when he was still sleeping to use his PC to play the Warcraft III campaign. It took me months to finish it but there was so much pleasant anticipation

  • Giving a girl I talked to in the club a kiss on the cheek when I was very drunk. Was happy when she didn't slap me. Later went out, barfed and passed out lying on the back while it slowly became morning. That was in the forest behind the club and blackbirds were singing

  • lying on a rooftop in Rome and looking at the stars while listening to music

  • Having my first girlfriend and breaking up with her without even having touched her hand once

And a lot of other remarkable gaming experiences and painful situations in RL.
