Reminds of the accounts of people who owned enslaved people being afraid to let them go because of how they thought once freed they would turn around and slaughter their former “masters” because how could they not.
Except that didn’t happen.
Even then, only if the process is fun. Like collecting the thingamajigs (it’s been a while) in Crackdown. I remember just moving around in that game being fun
Only just finished the first entry, and this is still the case by the end of that book at least. The main character does have a kind of “raw power” that goes beyond what others have innately, which is a bit exceptional-ising.

Maybe I’ll go shower at the gym or a friend’s lol
Tell me you haven’t read Jonathan Strange without telling me you haven’t read Jonathan Strange 😏 obviously it’s because all mirrors are connected - as entrances to the King’s Way of old.

Indeed, treasure that memory. I wish I’d had access to the pirate/bootleg console scene, but at least there was the PC scene, and emulators for me.
Ahhh the prime pirating years. Enjoy! If I hadn’t pirated at that age, I would have but a tiny fraction of the shared culture and nostalgia that I currently enjoy with my peers.
…and that contemporary game makers and publishers profit from today, now that I’ve got money to spend.
