Stealing The Saturn (by Ribnose)

So here's something you didn't know about him. He once stole a "friend's" Sega Saturn after that friend broke his N64 and refused to pay for it.
He's mostly a good kid.
But there was that.
There's a wealth disparity going on there, and also a sense of deep betrayal.
This friend had almost every major system of the era. And he was like " i don't have to pay for that"
For Randy there, the '64 was a huge deal. He'd only ever owned an NES and a SNES before it, and it was the first console he owned when it was 'new', that didn't make him feel like a poor kid
He got one when it came out, saving up for it was a big thing for him. Then his rich friend spills pop all over it and bricks it.
This is a relatively uncharacteristic moment for him.
When this happened, he was just old enough to know better than to do it, but just young enough that he did it anyway. He probably wouldn't have even thought to do it at any other time in his life.
This wasn't the first time he realized he was a poor kid, but it was the first time he realized he felt a sense of injustice in his own world. He'd quickly decide that that injustice wasn't remedied with further injustice. But not before doing this.
