How old are you? By the time I was in my teens, there was always more games, BBSes, etc. Perhaps the fact that all those things were harder to come by was an advantage but I certainly did spent my whole day on the computer creating.
- j45 8y agoHaha, I think we're close in age, my teens had BBSes and IRC too. Wasted a lot of time in a good way. The connectedness during the early "broad" internet generations in the mid to late 90's was really special. I'm probably not alone in still having some of those friendships to this day. I spent part of my teens on apple, atari st's and then PCs. Creating with multiple platforms is something I'm very thankful for. Games were evolving but had limited power, the imagination was still better graphics. The recent story about the Sierra source code was cool. Online gaming wasn't fast enough, and so other forms of interaction took the day. There's lots of tools today to build games, it doesn't seem a rite of passage anymore to try and write a game or animate something.. Instead it's writing a todo app today.
