My fellow funny brained friend! It's wild how much linux got me back into dicking around on my puter. When I was a teenager, I spent hours on my first laptop just fuckin modding the shit out of Bethesda games, pirating the games my parents couldn't afford, and farting around with emulators that let me re-experience games I had almost forgotten. Somewhere along the way, the overwhelming pressure of life caused me to curl up and recede inward and I stopped doing just about everything I enjoyed. That lasted a long, long time.

When I recently got a hand me down rig from a friend, I thought I'd use the hell out of it. I didn't. Then, one day, on a shitty old laptop that choked on windows, I decided to try out linux mint. It's been uphill from there.
