I stopped playing computer games somewhere mid/late-90s,
I think the last games I played were, in abc order,
Fallout, Final Fantasy, StarCraft and Quake.
I thought these games were pretty fun to play but even today
Q years later they are part of my culture or education, even.
For example, listen to this:
We've got a problem. A big one. The controller chip for our
water purification system given up the ghost. We can't make
another one and the process is too complicated for
a work-around system. [1]
For me as with many other people who liked sports and
computers as a kid there came a time when Debian, Emacs,
LaTeX, and zsh was more fun than the mentioned game quadrupel
but commercial culture has been a huge part of me - not just
games, everything I'm into - bikes, tools, construction,
climbing, NGE, Alita, The Incal, ice hockey, Casio, Ryobi,
Hitachi, tree house activism - OK, not the last thing - but
other than that - everything is just commercial, capitalist
culture with the end purpose of making money.
But I have realized it can be good, in general and good for
me, AND be about money at the same time. Emacs is good, Emacs
is good for me, and not about money. But there are other
things than Emacs and I didn't see the FOSS community anywhere
around offering me other games instead of the mentioned ones.
Maybe GNU Tyccon?
NO thanks, if I believed in silent planning I would be writing
this right now, not planning, or should I shut up about that
and insterad asses what I'm doing and what will happen in
the future?
