I entered the world in January 2008, so it was a pretty big year for me. Hard to believe it’s been 18 years already.

I was probably playing on that old Nintendo I borrowed from someone. It was old even back then. I was not quite on the internet yet I think, might have been playing Miniclip flashgames, found out Newgrounds, and discovered things that would have been better if not.

I wanted AI allies in Starcraft, so I rigged together what would look like allies, from what limited things I can do with the scenario editor.

I had all sorts of great ideas, but I also started to become more and more aware that I had to do something. I was a hyper kid that could not sit still, and caused problems all the time.

They claimed I was suicidal, so I spent time waiting in the cold to be sent over a bus to the capital city, so they could pump me full of drugs and break me, and I would never be the same since.
