My father is now a crane operator, and he was full of confidence, saying, 'I'm such a good crane driver that I'd win too many prizes if I played a crane game!' So when I took him to an arcade, he realized that he even shouldn't have touched it, saying, 'I understand that the arms are weak, but why is there an intentional lag in the actual operation and movement?'
