I started playing video games in the 80s-90s, but I never really understood how they worked or what code they were running till I got introduced to the computer, bbc micro, BASIC language, then C/C++, intel, Nvidia, etc. vendors of that Era. Nope I was not aware of the underlying politics, I saw it as fun entertainment only until I went to the West to study computer science and HPC opened me up to the politics of virtual reality or games. Man, yes, if you believe these things can render whatever you want, and the tech people will make it real for you. You can experience romance, super human abilities, future, aliens, hell, etc. So don’t look down upon games & gamers as waste of time, these things are for real…get that rig you’ve been dreaming of and see it come to life!
