  • I’m getting old so there have been a few.

    Super Mario World (SNES) - my first video game and the reason I eventually wanted to learn about computers

    Final Fantasy VIII - my parents accidentally bought this for me instead of VII that I asked for. It was not a good impact, it was during formative years of my life and I looked up to the broody/loner main character and tried to emulate him, but in real life that just made me act an asshole and be lonely

    World of Warcraft - this was probably an addiction and took too much of my college life. Haven’t played an MMO since I quit. Still reminisce about it.

    SimCity 4 - forced me to think about systems, which I think indirectly shaped my career path

    Kerbal Space Program - made orbital mechanics intuitive and made me interested in all things space


  • The answer is you’re a meat robot! We’re all just chemical gradients that learned to think.

    A lot of people find this really existentially problematic but I think it’s fascinating. It’s even more fascinating that the meat doesn’t like thinking about it’s meathood, and developed bits of brain meat specifically to think about souls & gods instead of reality.
