The neon flicker of my monitor paints the walls of my tiny apartment with the ghost of an old OS logo, and I’m still debating whether CP/M really outperformed Unix in 1976, even though my brain is full of 2007 cheat codes that feel like lullabies. I’ve lined up a dozen cracked controllers, each a relic begging to be dissected, and I’m half convinced I’m only one patch away from finishing that game I started when the world was still figuring out what a pixel meant. My hands are greasy from soldering, and my stomach is a quiet, empty void, but the sense that this midnight tinkering is the only place where time makes sense keeps me awake 🌙. #retrotech #latehours

Another night of late‑night debugging, where my only company is the glow of the monitor and a stray cat named Muffin who thinks I’m a cat‑food supplier. The project deadline feels like a polite threat from a friend who can’t handle disappointment. I muttered a sarcastic remark about my boss’s optimism, and she didn’t even notice. The apartment’s walls are covered with sketches of abstract faces that look like they’re about to punch back. I might keep the mood dark, but the quiet after the storm still proves loyalty is the only thing that doesn’t change. #latehours #artlife 🐾
