For me was not grand parents but my dad was referring me ALL the time to other people that went to his workshop that I “know about computers” (almost is some sort of arcane knowledge). I remember once somebody approached me with the typical question:
Are you the one that “knows about computers”?
(cringing inside already) yes that’s me
You know, I have this fridge that won’t cool…
I just left even before he finished the sentence. My dad later that day asked me why I was rude to someone (I know it was this guy). I just told him “imagine you know about cars and somebody asks you fix their fridge”. Didn’t even need to say more.
So for some people in my place, " knowing about computers " means arcane knowledge with nearly everything with a digital screen on it.
Trying to learn how to play a Final Fantasy game in your late thirties is like trying to learn brain surgery on a worm. I don’t know how I had the patience for any of that shit back in the day.
Or, hear me out: take a cold shower for a minute, then turn it slightly warm. It will be painful. Repeat every day. Go outside with one less layer than normal, shiver for 5 minutes. Do this literally every day. Pretty soon, cold adaptation. The human body is nice like that, and your vascular system will thank you. Unless you have a really bad heart condition that wouldn’t allow cardio obviously because your heart rate will go up.
I just got a Steam Deck, and I bought Baldur’s Gate 3. Pretty sure I’ll finish it on my deathbed. It feels like the hour here or there that I manage to play is not getting me anywhere fast.
