When I was a kid the idea of an unexplored digital world was very compelling to me. That feeling of being completely in the zone. When you could be one with the machine, but without being used and controlled by it.Everything tech related that I've ever done since has been an attempt to recapture that feeling.
When I was about 3 years old, I got done kind of telephone toy and it fascinated me to no end. Still to this day I don't understand why, but, even then, all I knew was that I wanted to understand how it worked and why—what was inside it. From there, my tinkering obsession, specifically with tech, was sparked.

>>100176996Back in the 80s you needed to fuck with your computer to get it to play games, it didn't just work most of the time. Piracy was amazing back then too, it was like being in an exclusive club before the internet. Basically gaming was the catalyst though, and I just stuck with it since then. That and horse porn.
