I'm so glad someone else had the experience! Just being that combination of bored and curious that makes you open everything with notepad until you find something cool, clicking through windows registry entries and changing stuff to see if it does anything, then having your mind blown when you find a hex editor for the first time because you read some text file that shows you how to edit a specific value to cheat in a game .... then you kinda boggle at how they knew which value to edit. Then it takes you another 5-10 years to figure that one out. I do think I could have learned faster if I had a guide, but also not having one helped in its own weird way.
- doubloon 3y agoyeah i think... things are better now. people are still pushing those boundaries by poking at the unknown, and learning by exploring. like those people porting Linux to the Apple M chips. they have so many more resources so their exploration nowdays takes them so much farther than it did us back in the day trying to flip a bit in copy protection binary
