lol i haven't heard "play computer" in a looooong time
and when i was, back in those days, most of the time i was programming, with whatever tools i could scrape together in the days when a C compiler cost a month's wages

"play computer games". my bad
nah, "play computer" was a literal common expression in the 80s and early 90s
i thought you typed that because you lived through it
back in those days, boys with commodore 64s and whatnot were mostly playing games but often also reading BASIC manuals and haxing their computers to do things
