Modern AU - A young Laura discovers her first love, suggested by GiantBurger!

Not sure why I chose an SNES parody... I could have gone with something slightly more modern like an early Playstation or XBox, or tried to fabricated one entirely... but I think maybe just because it was my first console I felt like drawing something a little nostalgic for me. :) I was a 90's kid after all. I also think, on top of this sketch being set in the past, it might make sense to have the modern TK setting be slightly behind our own, technology wise, since the existence of magic might have meant less pressure to develop alternatives.

For those wondering about the prices, the Modern AU's currency (1G) is about 10 dollars. (It's actually a little more, but 10 makes it easy to just move the decimal over to the right one place and get a rough idea of the equivalent value.) I have a fondness for settings that uses smaller values for prices, so that the pennies are still useful. I just think the novelty of it is fun. :9

I've seen that look before. I probably wore it more than once at her age.

My first was a Commodore Vic-20. Good times.

My first was a Magnavox Odyssey III. Magnavox’s attempt to break into the nascent console market back in the late 1970s.

My first console was a Sega Genesis with Sega CD attachment. My first Console video game was Metroid on a friend's NES a couple of years earlier. Yet my first video game was (if I remember right...) the first Mario game but you had to type the entire game code into the computer yourself. Mom did not enjoy that early age of computers.

it's a great start of what we know she would do in the future years maybe we could be her companions in her livestreaming and i would probably be in the VR version if the games she plays has VR version maybe i'd also drink every now and then just for being a comic relief but i wouldn't endorse drinking while solo streaming only if it were for a comic relief

I remember these demo setups always giving me the worst neck pain

When I was a kid, my parents bought a Radio Shack TRS-80 computer. I was able to program some simple games in BASIC on that thing. Never really got into much coding beyond that, though.

This used to be one of the best things about browsing in video game shops. Now that console gaming is mostly online, demo stations like this are so rare in video game shops nowadays...
