0:00.0 | I remember the first time I posted something online. It was a video game guide in the 90s. |
0:07.0 | And there's an internet adage that I think is true. It goes like this. |
0:10.0 | The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question, but to post the wrong answer. |
0:17.0 | I posted a guide on how to beat a video game, and it immediately got down-voted, mocked, ridiculed, and I was told to get good. |
