    When I was in high school, before smartphones, I would sit on the left side of the classroom, put my flip phone in my left hand next to my thigh, and play Tetris one handed. I’d have my pencil in my right hand to make it look like I was taking notes and would pause periodically to look up and look like I was paying attention. It got me through the vast majority of classes haha.

      I had a game watch around 5th grade. It was LCD and had a tiny little joystick at the bottom of the screen. It would play imitations of games like Pac Man and Space Invaders. Apparently I wasn’t ghosty enough because it got confiscated pretty quickly.

      play Tetris one handed.

      Sounds like a euphemism, but I guess you didn’t mention a joy stick
