i have literally no understanding of why computers work. how the fuck are a bunch of ones and zeroes which represent basically an on/off switch, going 2 translate into Video Games. thats like if i just flickered the lights in my bedroom real fast in a specific order and then suddenly i was playing skyrim.

not that you asked but there’s a really great book about this called Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software (pdf 1, pdf 2) by Charles Petzold! it explains how all of this works for a non-technical audience, without skimping on accuracy or detail and it blew my whole entire mind
