@soulevans07 Aye... 🙁

@KorDarei She was forever immortalized as the "mom of the adventurer" archetype on a C64 RPG game cartridge prototype I wrote and soldered together as a kid, which got published and sold a few thousand copies in the mid 90s.
As an atheist, I think it's the closest I could do to deliver her soul to heaven. 🤷♂️ -
@irene Yeah, I learned that later. I restored a lot of old Nintendo cartridges, my first PCB etch was to fix a SNES Mario world cartridge.

@bittersweet better than PC's, what are these lies lol.
My mom never touched a PC or smartphone. Well, most people didn't back then, because it was the early 90s.
But I brought a borrowed SNES to the hospital and taught her to blow on the Zelda cartridge if it didn't work. She died after we finished the game.
After that my dad bought me a commodore 64, the machine that taught me about electronics and programming, and molded me into who I am today.
On the first date with my girlfriend (now 12y together) we just sat talking for hours in her room, playing Zelda on her SNES taking turns, and I told her my mom would have liked her.
