Let’s see what @olympiaohanian thinks…” His words reflected his curiosity about whether Olympia would enjoy the vintage video game. However, following his latest update, it seems his elder daughter loved her father’s thoughtful gesture.
On X, Ohanian posted a picture of his daughter’s console featuring a Pokémon game. Sharing the image, he wrote, “Just helping my kid level up her Pokémon while she sleeps… not doing this for me at all.” While he claimed he was only helping Olympia in her game, it seemed more like an excuse forhim to indulge with Olympia’s Tetris console himself. Well, that’s nostalgia.
