> I'm now 53. Where have all those years gone?

Feel that way every time I see a YT video on a "retro" computer I would have been able to play while having a beer legally (18 in the UK so 1998), it's then a shock to realise that was nearly 30 years ago.

> Don't get me wrong, I had a great life (so far) and I'd replay it just the same.

So would I and I didn't have a great life but if I alter the past I don't meet my missus/have my family so as much as it did suck, I'm happy now and don't want to change anything.

> And the games. So many games...

Still a gamer, there are three constants in my life, programming, reading and video games (roughly in that order).

That's the thing right? I love the missus (only met her at 38 y/o but it's been 15 years of love) and our daughter she's now 11 y/o. And it's perfect.

I just wish life would play in slow-mo. The same life, but in slow-mo.
