For me, the one thing which makes PC gaming so fun there is always something new. New tech, games, and peripherals are always exciting. When I first got a PC back in 1992, I didn’t know what to expect. I wanted to play games but I also wanted productivity like making art. And once I connected to the internet, it seemed like I entered a world that was a living and breathing entity. It was an exciting time.
The inspiration.
In Cyberpunk 2077, V’s Northside apartment inspired me to change things up. For the longest time I rocked the color red, now I embraced the full RGB spectrum of color. I’ve been going through this eighties renaissance, such as synthwave music and art. We had some really rad arcades back in the day and I wanted to capture that feeling. This arcade called Spaceplex was peak eighties performance. There was nothing else like it. To get in you to walk through a neon lit tunnel. It felt like getting transported to this futuristic place, an ultimate escape. Lights and sounds caused a sensory overload. No matter which direction you turned or looked you could not get away from the fun and excitement.
It’s nice to have a place where I can unplug from the world and relax. I love basking in the neon glow of a reality I created and surrounded by things I like. I don’t think of myself as a gamer. I’m just a guy who likes to play games. But I do embrace the idea of game or computer culture. Such as Playing games online, streaming games and watching streams for instance. Sharing memes and trolling relatives on social media is also a lot of fun.
Final words.
Pc gaming in my opinion allows creative individuality while uniting like minded people. In a time where it seems like division is stronger than ever, gaming and computer culture unites us. Stay true to yourself and have fun. Trolling is ok too, such as in the case of fake gamer site Kotaku, but try to be excellent to each other.
