Hmm let's see, in high school I was into:

  • Medieval foam fighting
  • chess club
  • Debate club
  • anime
  • being an extremely online edgelord
  • Wearing a prescription monocle because I only had a prescription in one eye.


Yeah I was pretty cool

My first exposure to programming was teaching myself how to write stupid little programs on my graphing calculator in high school. But I was pretty popular/well liked, so it was kind of the best of both worlds.

I remember our programming classes in high school were taught by a horrible old lady who knew very little about programming. first class was Visual Basic second was c++. this turned me away from programming for a few years, but I was always into tech so I came back to it on my own later

i used hot bot to search for "teens"

my high school didn't have a programming class, just like word processing and basic spreadsheets, idk why we even had a computer lab. middle school computer class, though, we spent like three weeks on BASIC on the Apple IIs.

I had a picture of a tie interceptor I’d printed out at the library inside my trapper keeper. one day I accidentally forgot my backpack outside somewhere, and when I found it the next day that was the only thing that was missing

lol this reminds me

I had used AMOS on my Amiga 500 to build some animated thing that used nested x and y loops (I think?) out into sine and cosine functions respectively to draw a circle

I had no idea how what I was doing make a circle. I had not idea what a sine or cosine function did, but I kept plugging numbers into them and noticed they were cyclical and then I plotted it and yeah that’s cool and randomly tried x into sine and y into cosine and drew a fuckin circle on the screen. I arrived there purely from a combination of limited resources but an insatiable quest to find out what’ll happen if I do this or that.


you know when maxwell, when finalising his equations calculated the speed of these electronomagnetic waves he was proposing exist and when the speed was the same as the speed of light he was like “I just invented light bitches :grin:

me discovering how to draw a circle - was up there with that


but the point of this story is that I hauled my whole rear end amiga 500 and that commodore 1084 monitor and the cables to school when I was 13 and showed the teacher for some project lol

it also had some basic line animations I’d made and I drew a picture of the starter logo and put it at the front coz starter was cool at the time

hazed and confused - set in the 80s and is a college sexy fun comedy that can break the rules because it’s set in the 80s where people were shits. get scorsese on the job, make it r18. the wolf of wall street of college sex comedies
