DaYacht | PC | Glitch Builder

Greetings, Travelers!

I am the YachtMaestro (AKA TheLandYacht, AKA DaYacht).

Practically raised at the computer, got a Commodore 64 gifted to me by my Big Brother when he shipped off to College. I learned how to play such awesome games as Temple of Apshai, loading it off of a Cassette Tape drive (yes, honest to goodness audio cassettes).

I soon moved on to standing at the arcade or the local convenience store for hours on end to play whatever games took my fancy.

Of course, I was an early adopter of all the Consoles; Nintendo, Sega Genesis, etc.

But it was when the first real PC's took the shelves that I never thought of looking back. I've been playing PC games since I got my first PC way back in the stone-age of Windows 3.11.

As for No Man's Sky, I'm not an early adopter, I only found it thanks to my daughter wanting to "connect with" her aging parents & buying copies for each of us in October, 2022 (PC/Steam for me, XBox for her).

Being what some would call "obsessive", I've wracked up a bit under 1800 hours in the 9 months since I discovered NMS.

...With NO End in sight!

Outside of NMS, I'm an avid reader of most things Sci-fi & fantasy, and many Sci-fi/fantasy movie/TV series as well.

I was something akin to a DJ (and a taxi driver) for a quarter-century...so you can catch me dropping a song-reference, a lyric...or a you-tube link at the drop of a hat, mid-conversation on Discord, on which I've become very active.
