Answers to the questions some of my readers had about me, why not?

Alright, here are some answers to your questions. If your question is not here, there were some more answers in a previous post

• @Doctor_Derp asks: Do you like waffles/pancakes/french toast?

  Yes, I like them all, I eat them all, I enjoy them all, good food.

• Konstantin asks: what’s your favorite kind of coffee?

  I think it would be American coffee? It’s just coffee with a couple spoons of sugar and fresh milk. Café con leche!

  I also like Café de Olla.

• Clayton asks: What was your first computer and what lead you to love technology and FOSS?

  This is a hard one, I remember playing with my father’s laptops a few times, there was this cereal box motorcycle racing game that I found quite fun. I think I still have it.

  My first desktop was some sort of HP thing with 512 MB of RAM, running Windows XP and quite a bit of very slow hard drive storage. I remember trying a CD of FIFA 07 for PC and it ran pretty well. I didn’t really care about FOSS until 2016 or so, when I discovered F-Droid and custom ROMs, but still, it was more because of the free as in gratis, I didn’t care much about the freedom for another couple years when I started to care about game development, discovered Godot, then Linux, and the rest is history. I may go into more detail in a biggee post.

• Rogue asks: Any rare games you’ve been wanting to find and play on your PSP?

  I don’t really have anything I can’t find 😉 … But there are some games I’ve been meaning to play. One of those games is Riviera: The Promised Land, it sounds neat, and it is a JRPG, I don’t know what else to say.

• Hyde asks: What do you think of those youtubers that do some boxing?

  I don’t know who does that, not really following that side of YouTube, but the few times I’ve heard about that I found out there’s also Chess-Boxing where you do a round of boxing and another of chess, and I think that sounds kind of fun.

• Benjamin Hollon asks: If you could do anything full-time without having to worry about money or other factors, what would that dream job be?

  Traveling is probably the answer—not really a dream job though.

  Honestly I would probably like to do game development, I really enjoyed it during the pandemic and it was fun, I would use some of my infinite money to get a powerful desktop and some instruments to make my soundtracks and learn more about everything. I liked making games. Maybe even be in charge of just directing it, having a full team of well paid people to help me achieve my vision—I don’t know that vision yet, though.

• 82Mhz asks: What brought you to blogging and having a website in the first place?

  I kind of answered this question already! In my previous blogpost. In short, I found out about the fediverse, about the small web community and Linux, and I decided to start blogging once I discovered Kev Quirk’s 100 Days To Offload challenge.

• CactoChameleon9 asks: Do you have any interesting short term or long term ambitions?

  I just want to have a job that allows me to have 2 free days and where I just have to be in front of a computer doing whatever I’m asked to do, I want to have enough time to keep blogging, doing my hobbies and discovering new ones. I would like to code or expand on one of the videogames I’ve developed, as a solo project of mine, and earn some money that way too—it would still be FOSS though.

  I would like to have a family, have kids, teach them everything I know as soon as possible, specially origami! They would be bilingual, solve rubiks cubes, do yo-yo tricks and be the coolest kids at school, But I also want to be able to accept their choices in life—unless that choice involves not doing origami. 😤

• Wouter asks: Why isn’t your top 25 GOAT list on your blog, and why don’t you talk a little bit about each entry?

  Oh yeah, that was going to be a future blog! I kind of did it on a whim, I will expand on my choices later and think this through more in depth, it should be fun! I meant to do it but I kinda forgot, so thanks to the reminder… proceeds to forget again.

For now these are all the answers for the questions I could find, if you have anymore questions feel free to leave them somewhere! This was really fun, actually—let’s do it again!

This is post 74 of #100DaysToOffload. Have a good rest of your day, fellow reader. 😊
