I failed math 3 years in a row in high school and I made plenty of minecraft clones using nothing but logic and basic algebra. Math isn't as important to programming as people say, I still can't do division or multiplication on paper, but in a program, I can make it do that for me.

Need to redo the foam and foil keys but otherwise it works great, let out the magic smoke the first time i powered it up so i did a re-cap and now it starts fine.
And it even has a working hard drive!
I also have an IBM Lexmark model M keyboard I use as my daily driver
I did, this buddy is too far gone, 3rd gear practically doesn't exist
Transmission is slow on startup (especially when cold) so the first shift always takes a while to engage, and I have to watch the lights to see if I still have enough coolant (fun leak)
Fucking UPS with the same garbage, the form for changing your address was broken and would display an error, the phone call support refused to help and told me to "just use the online form". I wocked around it by opening the form, pressing the back button, opening it again, and then it would display properly... Just to change a single fucking number in the apartment unit category. Those are 2 hours of my life I'm never getting back.
Wanted to make games as a kid, got way way waayy too into it, now I just make my own programs when I need to
Being kicked out of my family > Barely avoiding homelessness for 3 years now > helping a friend out when their family passed > managing to stay employed > getting my gf away from her abusive parents through a skilled mission of infiltration and gaslighting towards the abusers (used their own tricks against them). Now I'm just trying to scrape out of homelessness again as the housing market where I live is just godawful terrible. I'm 21 goddammit, I didn't expect to be thrown into new game + right off the bat. I still wanna go to college so I'm at least proud I kept my ambitions.
2 reinstalls now* I had to upgrade my NVME drive and the old one shit the bed while I was moving data, so everything on this system is fresh now.... At least I keep the important stuff backed up in git haha
