    I’m one of the few people who’s 14 yo self would fucking admire, mostly for stupid teenage horny reasons but also video game industry reasons.

        Even better (by 14 yo me standards), I met a pretty girl online, whom I later married and got into the industry (albeit, less cultured? Lol).

        When questioned by my childhood self why I am not making games myself, I point to my backlog and we both nod in agreement before I thoroughly wreck him in Smash Bros.

          You think you could beat 14 year old you in smash bros?

          I was way better at fighting games when I was a teen than now. I played Street Fighter recently because of whatever compilation they were selling. I suck at it now. I bought sf2 like 4 times now and beat the game with each character back in the day. It’s hard to get past the 2nd stage now.

            It’s more that I was not particularly good at it yet by 14, and Smash is particular. Plus I haven’t declined (yet), but maybe when I hit 40, hehe.
