I got myself an old itouch and wanted to run emulators to play mario64. I had no real understanding on how computers worked or anything, but the process of jailbreaking and everything else i had to learn and getting a PC to do it & then installing Linux because Windows would be $60 basically made sure from that age i'd be working IT & computing for the next dacade plus

I too picked up IT skills from games. At a time when the only options were hex or memory editors were the only options to beat incredibly difficult levels.
