Whenever life was going a little too well, I sat down and tried to learn assembly language.

I loved the old C64... the 6502 (actually a 6510) was a breeze to code for, and the SID and VIC II chips let you do some very powerful effects with very little (relatively speaking) coding.

Closest thing I’ve touched since those heady days of C64 and C128 8 bit days have honestly been the video game systems. Particularly the Nintendo systems... The Gameboy in particular reminded me a lot of those systems, very open access to the hardware and ability to play around with it.

Sort of a modern version of self-flagellation? I used to do it because I needed to for the speed. I'm not going back there.

That’ll knock the buzz right outta you. Don’t you think a whip would have felt better?
