I think about the games I liked as a kid.

I was always a person who loved The Game of Life and loved to play it.

These are the kinds of things that brought me joy as a kid, and childhood in general can be a useful place to start because we often have preferences and things that we love long before society tells them whether they're cool or not or tells us that we should m- optimize them in some way.

So I wanna ask you, what did you love when you were eight or nine? What did you do when nobody told you what to do? What did playtime look like? Did you draw or sing or dance? Did you build dollhouses or play dress-up or play video games or read comics? Did you write stories of your own or watch the same movie repeatedly? I did so many of these things.
