  • StackExchange was the most discouraging place I ever asked a question as a beginner.

    The two questions I ever asked were immediately downvoted to 0 before an answer was even given. And then the answer basically called out my errors without explaining how to fix them. The most helpful replies were people just giving me a full set of code that worked, but they never explained how it worked.

    So I went back to lurking and hoping someone else has my question.


  • I was in middle school, just discovering retro game collecting. I got tons I’d NES, SNES, and N64 games for pennies on the dollar, compared to today. It was a terrible time in terms of school, but a wonderful time in terms of exploring my hobbies.

    I had just met my best friend at the time. Finding someone with as much anxiety as me was helpful.
