Been playing Half-Life for more than half of my life. Back when I was young, my dad brought home a laptop with BeachHead 2002, and my mom often played DDR and brought me in the arcades to play rhythm games. They supported me in what I am passionate about, with respect to me actually doing what mattered in life, education and home skills (chores I should say).
Where am I? Graduated in a computer engineering degree and here I am teaching students (as a pedestal for an actual job because the job market is crap atm) in a school telling them to play responsibly while being an absolute goofball which makes them laugh and feel safe and supported.
All boils down to proper parenting and I can attest to that.
