Hello there @schattenjaeger, I trust your jet lag is now a distant memory..
just wanted to say: Transport Tycoon and Day of the Tentacle were big hitters with my mini-@ceyman!..among others of course..Bloody good show on smashing the shit out of those games amigo, Bravo!
The 16-bit style image you used reminded me of the film 'Trancers' (with Tim Thomerson no less) - "Dry hair's for SQUIDS!" hahaha

I hear ya on the negative/ignorant views to gaming from the general adult world back in the day, which were the 90s for me i guess as was an 80s baby...I grew up in Hastings (1066 country) UK, making English my first language, so while I cannot claim the language benefits you rightly shielded yourself with, hi 5s on holding your ground!

Looks like your post got my attention and I made my first etch on the steemit blockchain, wooooo! party on Wayne!!
