    (Your Steam games all live in a folder called “steamapps” — when was the last time you clicked on that?)

    A few days ago, because I’m constantly tinkering with them to add mods, remove unskippable opening movies, etc. Video games are undeniably why I know what I do about directory structures and the like.

      I learned so much about computing by modding my own games. Adventure Construction Set, shitty mad libs games in basic, and then later spending basically every free hour from 12-18 years old modding Morrowind.

      Gotta wonder how many modern programmers learned from modding Minecraft.
