I feel that. I switched from a GTX era GPU to a 7800XT as well recently. It’s night and day how many generic glitches and program limitations I don’t have to deal with anymore.

Welcome. ^^
Yeah! You could basically warp time (and later, space in the sequel). Rewind to access areas, fast forward to jump things, pause to defeat enemies, and even record to have yourself so multiple things at once. I wish Microsoft and Artoon did something with that, but the popularity of Halo (namely in the US and EU markets) overshadowed every other Xbox exclusive.
I’m 99% sure everything for me can be traced back to Blinx: The Time Sweeper, an old Xbox exclusive with anthro cats and pigs. Really awesome game, and to this day, I think it was a gem of mechanics and dynamics that it’s a pity never became something more. That would’ve started in around '06. I was 3-4.
I didn’t know the concept of furry until '16 or so, when I would’ve been 13-14. I had a fascination with fur and animal stuff, and a younger friend (he was like 12) said something like “Oh, so you’re a furry?” A few googles later…I was like GOD NO. Came back by early-2017, with a more careful Google and an open mind, and yeah, I was. Joined a furry forum in mid-2017, and the rest is history. Seen a lot of stuff in my time here, but unfortunately, I arrived too late to see a lot of the furry community that used to exist in my local area. Just a few years too young to have caught RCFM.
Some type of BASIC came first along with Batch (if it counts) and later Visual Basic. All sorts of easy things that I fully advocate for as first languages in education. The next step for me was C/C++ and various different languages that are more learning examples than anything now like COBOL and Pascal. And then for school, I picked up Python, Java, C#, Ruby, and a smattering of ARM Assembler.
I use a lot of languages for school, but outside of that, depending on the research I’m doing, projects I’m working on, and other things, it varies between C++ (which I use for analytics and research stuff) and Python (which is much nicer for automation and interacting with distributed computing). Bash finds itself very close behind them for automation when I’m being too lazy to write Python.
