yes at primary school! this was in the 90s so they were already out of date & the school only "officially" used them for some simple educational programs. but because my mum worked at the school I often had to stay late and would mess around with them. eventually I taught myself BASIC from an old library book which was my first experience of programming. so that thing basically set me on the trajectory for a whole life of being a big computer nerd and a career as a professional(?) software developer

I can giga-bite as much as I need to

that's true

In terms of hardware clones not really. But I would quite like to get hold of any Sunplus-hardware plug n play consoles with Nice Code games, a few of them were advertised by Qi Sheng Long but may not have actually been released. I really want to see what kind of work Nice Code was doing on the more advanced hardware, it felt like they were starting to hit their creative stride with their later VT03 games but the whole plug n play market was collapsing on its arse and so they sadly ended up being mostly known and maligned for the famiclone shovelware stuff they did around 2003

Back when I was vaguely "into furry" but didn't have a proper fursona I'd got into the habit of saying "rawr" a lot and a friend picked up on it and started calling me lion and I just ran with it from there. So literally the roar came before the lion

wakes up roar roar roar goes back to sleep

honestly i don't drink cocktails regularly enough to have a favourite, if i find myself in a cocktail bar i just pick something i fancy off the menu. but i like a mojito, i like an old fashioned. maybe something with midori. or a long island iced tea cos it gets me drunk

picked up eschatos which is great. still playing splatoon 3 but i think i've reached my skill ceiling at S+/X battle level cos I'm just getting my arse handed to me over and over which is not so much fun. also replaying mother 3 (i originally played it way back when the fan translation first came out & i've forgotten most of it by now)

Probably the Neo Geo Pocket Color. Relatively small library but all bangers

I think I need to see your research methodology

i don't know my life is the same as it's been for a while. it's boring and stagnant and i don't feel able to do anything about it. sorry i suppose this was a depressing answer wasn't it
