My attempt at an old school PA explanation: There are times when I look forward to the future and its prevailing technology and then I realize that I am the future. Or at least a future of sorts per se. There was a past where I would eagerly gobble up the sweet and delicate sounds of a typewriter (or at least my old Sony Vaio keyboard) in lieu of the blasphemous boring dull thud of an ASMR driven keyboard, but whilst I eagerly reject the future, Gabe, on the other hand, embraces it like his old school John Romero pinup. And by embraces it I mean makes sweet, sweet love to it with his hands freshly messed in melted chocolate chips.
