I’ve self diagnosed with face blindness, but I tentatively recognized his hair lift.
The references confirmed it.

On PC, I game exclusively with trackballs and have since the nineties. I’ve never not been given the side eye when someone found out that’s how I play.
When was this magical time during which they were popular?
It’s been a year or two, but I had no issues with Star Citizen in Linux. IIRC, I ran it through Lutris.
The person perhaps (eventually) most qualified to answer this might be Graeldon, who is on a quest to play every Steam game in alphabetical order.
Ancient video time!
My pleasure! Glad it helped. Also, I like your username.
I’m still not sure how much to fear AI, as I’m not knowledgeable on the subject (never even intentionally interacted with one yet) and have seen conflicting reports on how worryingly capable it is. Today I did see this video, which isn’t explicitly about AI but did offer an interesting perspective that could be compared to the paradigm: https://youtu.be/fVN_5xsMDdg
(Warning, the video was interesting, but I got invested about halfway through when I started comparing it to AI, then was disappointed in the ending)
I saw an interesting video about this. It’s outdated (from ten months ago, apparently) but added some context that I, at least, was missing - and that also largely aligns with what you said. Also, though it’s not super evident in this video, I think the presenter is fairly funny.

California, I think.
I don’t know if it is, but you can always just use yt-dlp or something similar.
It’s just the special effects department showing off.
Fair enough.
NerdCubed is, or was, my favorite YouTuber. I don’t like his live streams as much, but he did play Tomba in one.
Didn’t NerdCubed recently play this?
They can get pretty big, but the ones I encounter are generally about the size of my big toenail.
It was probably the Technology Connections one. Even if not, I strongly recommend his channel.
There were individual books per person.
In my childhood household, at all times, there were in-progress books on the back of the commode. You would simply select the one relevant to you.
Well, you might enjoy Steve1989mreinfo, a YouTuber who sporadically posts videos of himself consuming and reviewing MREs of varying ages.
Are you Steve?
Well, fair enough that you were exposed to them. I didn’t have a lot of friends, especially not those even remotely into any kind of tech, as a kid; I think I first heard of trackballs from a programming teacher in about 1996 and bought one to try out of curiosity. Ever since then I’ve used one whenever it was an option.
I’ve even mostly used the same model. If you look in my comment history, you can see I recently mentioned that most of what I use is Kensington Orbits. I’ve tried other models, but they don’t work for me.
The one PC gaming exception for me is Minecraft. In that game you have to right-click a lot (as I’m sure you know) and I guess I haven’t developed the muscles for that because it makes my wrist very tired very quickly. Still, I play a lot of FPS games and have no problem holding the right click for zoom and such; only quick, repetitive right-clicking causes problems for me.
edit: To address your original comment, I have one friend who uses a trackball at work but a regular mouse for anything else. Other than that, I rarely meet anyone who has even heard of them, let alone used them, let alone consistently done so.
