Reminds me of a moment in Deltarune that’s sort of the opposite of this:
Minor spoilers: >!In Chapter 1, if you look under Asreal’s bed you find a console with two controllers, one original and one knock-off. Then at the very end of Chapter 2 if you look at Toriel’s monitor in her classroom, it’ll say something like "The desktop background is you and your brother playing videogames. He’s using a knock-off controller.!<
That hit me unreasonably hard lol. It was a mix of “AAAAAAAAA he’s such a good older brother 😭” and “Jesus Christ this is some good fucking storytelling.” It’s a callback to the very beginning of the game, which you find at the very end of the demo. An absolute gem of storytelling put into the flavor-text of two otherwise mundane objects. It’s such a subtle yet beautiful way of showing that he loves you.

Well the dad’s clearly cheating. The kid has a controller that’s split in half!
He rage broke it last time.
Yeah as a dude with a 5yo, all my controllers break. The only upside is an excuse to get new controllers every other year or so

A few tears were shed.
Kid gets the good controller when he earns the good controller
