I have a long list of games I need to play. I tend to get them a few years after release so bugs and updates finish up. It's usually at a good price as well.

I recognize you were trying to write Sheit, but the spell correcter made it better.

When I first got Gran Turismo 6 for my PS3, I had to wait a week for all the updates.

Someone else pointed out companies don't like competing against themselves. Mods are even worse. I loved Half Life, but my online game of choice was The Specialists. A lot of this push for graphics and Indie stuff has ended the ability to get mods like that. We don't have an updated Specialists today and I'm sad.

That's a good point. Nintendo both uses Mario and competes against Mario with every game. Most companies don't want to do that.

Steam had that back in the day. Tons of mods used it. Most modern games do not have that though.

I traveled a lot as a kid. My parents are middle class type doctors and scientists. We moved too often to actually be middle class, so no one believes me when I talk about where I grew up. This is how I know where everything is in random places, I lived there. I count Hawaii and the PNW as home but lived in every western state, Scotland, northern England, and Germany.

The highschool I graduated from had the only gifted program in the area. It was also the biggest ghetto school. It was 50% black, 30% Mexican, and the white kids were often pressured to be gay or something to be different like everyone else. Imagine Hogwarts in the ghetto and you're at a good start. Since I was in the gifted program they just expected I was gay and Jewish. This proved especially true if I did a play or acted.

At the same time I was working at TV stations and got my first college degree. I also did internships at a space agency and helped study how the atmosphere bounces solar radiation and other objects on earth and Mars. Imagine Napoleon Dynamite had a really interesting life and you have me.

I've since gotten into history and anthropology, which got me to study videogames culture and History. This led to me working at conventions with arcades. The first group I met was arcade collectors and they invited me to shows. Eventually I wanted to make something that combined all of my talents. I imagined a place that used tech to tell stories that you participated in.

With Covid and the PNW dying I decided to move to Florida and get a degree in themed design. I also got married and became a foster parent.

Do I need to do a AMA?

I was actually pressured to be gay or at least overly sexual. It was awkward admitting I liked girls but not as much as I pretended.
