  • gaming was: game permits

    From NANCY BACKUS@1:123/140 to MARK LEWIS on Mon Apr 6 16:27:00 2020

    I don't think many youngsters today even know
    (or care) what a bbs board is. :/

    you're probably right about that... i think you'd also be surprised at
    how many of us "oldsters" are gamers, too... i mean, i remember
    laughing at the idea that anyone could make a living playing video
    games yet here we are today with many doing just that as their full
    time job...

    It's now also a full-time major at RIT, building video games and playing them.... I even personally know a kid that's in that major.... :)

    i'm even doing what i can to try to save a couple of $$$ each time i
    get some so i can maybe get a better GPU (Graphic Processing Unit aka video card) so i can stream my (rarely broadcast) content better and possibly i can also start to make some $$$ from others watching my
    content and being a part of my community...

    That sounds interesting.... :)

    i really have to work on
    verbalizing more, though... no one wants to watch someone play a game
    or do any programming without saying a word about what they are doing something or making certain decisions for the flow to follow a certain path... all my life i've had to work at not saying everything that
    comes into my head and now that's what needs to be done :lol:

    You'll be in a situation where you're not only allowed to but expected
    to be doing so.... <G>

    Same here. It's a lot easier when you have people in your stream chat room that
    you can interact with. It's really hard though when you don't have people talking to you.
