I'm pulling my driveway.

We all know what that means.

It's time for now to drive to work.

Okay.

So often on my podcast, I talk about history.

But usually I talk about the history of magic.

So today I'm going to switch things up a little bit and talk about the history of gaming, of games.

There has been a fundamental shift from when I was a kid to now that I wanted to spend today

talking about because it really, it has a big impact in sort of how I think of games and

how I see things.

And I don't know if the average person who isn't, you know, my age necessarily knows

how things have changed.

So today, I'm going to talk

about how gaming has changed. So today's topic is about not magic, but gaming. Related, I feel.

Okay, so, okay, for those that are unaware, I am 48, born back in 1967, which means that I grew up in the 70s, that I was a kid, late 70s,

early 80s. I graduated from high school in 85. I graduated in college in 89, but that's what I know.

So anyway, here's one of the big differences.

There's a couple of fundamental differences between then and now, and I want to start

talking about that.

So when I was a kid, I got into gaming because my dad was into gaming.

I did a whole podcast with my dad.

We talked about that a little bit.
