I deleted mine by hand, they still returned. I've taken to editing them and replacing the text with [deleted]. Seems to be working better for now.

My main system is Windows, I'm a Windows developer. My older machines are Linux - because Windows runs like a dog on them and no longer supports them.

Seems pretty reasonable, even the federated stuff works fine - unlike Mastodon, oddly.

I did once, for about nine months when I was 18.

Then an exorcism happened, I became doubtful and finally stopped believing.

Mine was No Man's Sky...

12 years I think for my imekon account on reddit.

I found the best way to study for me was to follow a video tutorial and copy the steps involved. See the results myself.

Learning a new game engine for example, I try doing something simple with, do I understand what I'm doing?

I was 18 when the realisation hit like a pile of bricks. I was all at once terrified and scared... and realised I knew absolutely noone else who might be gay. Then an incident at University caused me to nail the closet door shut... until eight years later I finally came out as gay.

Took until I was in my 50's before I realised I'm pansexual. I thought I was bi, but more attracted to men than women. Made me think I wasn't bi.

Video games did not exist when I was a child. They came much later, with text based games at first like moria, adventure etc.

Board games I remember are Risk, Monopoly and Business.

I played video games a lot in my early twenties, played a lot of Unreal Tournament and Quake when I worked on device drivers for sound cards... supporting... games! We had a modded UT with all sorts of custom maps and crazy taunts set up - hilarious as we played it at lunchtime on headphones.

"Respect my authority!" would ring out as someone got blasted, or "Meat! He He" etc.

After writing device drivers I went on to work for Codemasters on their racing games: DiRT, GRiD, F1 2011 and the ill fated BodyCount. I also fixed a bug in Just Cause.

Been OK. Used to go on marches but my partner's recent operation has reduced that quite a bit. We used to go every year here in London (and sometimes Brighton). We saw Pride in Canada a few years ago... it was odd to us seeing our hotel celebrating it.

I still remember my first gay pride march in the mid '80s when it was political in the UK, and we marched outside No 10 Downing St and yelled "Gay Rights!" back then.
