    Video games and getting them to run on computers taught me most of what I know about them via “fiddling,” so this checks out for this Xer.

      installing minecraft mods are what got me to where I am today, I approach tech stuff with a “I’ll learn how to do this” (fiddling) rather than a “oh i’ll just call the PC guy” that my mom would do.

      80s millennial here and same. Getting games to run was so much work back in the 90s that I learned about computers. I think I got my first IT job because I was able to install and setup Word.
