+ | == About the Author == |
+ | |
+ | I played my first video game on PC at the age of six. I was begging my dad to teach me DOS commands to run Jill of the Jungle inside of a week. Not only did games make me fluent ''enough'' in DOS as a child, they stuck with me my whole life. Although I failed to fix my GameBoy color that died spontaneously, I have never let another console get the better of me. I was the one who opened the Playstation 2 when the disc tray got stuck. I put an SSD in my Xbox One just because Minecraft took too long to load. I have replaced more charge ports on handheld game consoles than I have fingers and toes to count (friends don’t let their friends' kids charge their Switch with an iPhone charger… more than once). |
