The other half of the desk
I have been gaming longer than I have been building
Started on a Terminator 2 — the 8-bit console with the grey light gun and a shoebox of cartridges. The PC years came after that, and these days it is mostly Valorant. Same habit throughout: read the screen fast, decide, commit.

How I got here
roughly in order
-
Where it started
Terminator 2, 8-bit
The grey console, two hard-edged controllers and a light gun you had to hold close to the TV. Mario, Contra and whatever else was on the cartridge that week. Everything since has been a bigger version of that.
-
The CD-drive years
GTA, Prince of Persia, Call of Duty, Project IGI
The whole PC era on one hand-me-down machine. Prince of Persia I finished every part of, not just the famous one. Finished, not just installed.
-
Between classes
The flash game era
Browser tabs full of games that loaded in twenty seconds and ate an afternoon. Half of what I know about how an interface should feel came from there.

Now
Valorant, most nights
Five people, one plan, and about thirty seconds to change it. It sharpened how fast I read a screen, which turns out to be the same muscle a layout needs.

Whenever the desk is not an option
Mobile
Queue, commute, waiting room. Different screen, same habit.
