Retarded question I know, but when you guys (and girls) are writing on a piece of tech from your childhood with LSDJ or what not, do you ever go into the zone, like you used to when there was a game cartridge loaded?

So what do you think it is that taps into that imagery? Is it that you're holding a Gameboy, or are there specific games you envision that you used to play as a kid?

What the fuck is the zone? I never really played a gameboy when I was growing up... LSDJ is nothing like super mario land but I guess super mario land took a lot more effort to feel accomplished and you couldn't post your shitty results on the internet.

i think it's just the level of focus that you put into something you're really into. i get in that same zone when writing on other platforms, and it feels the same as when i get into it playing video games. you can lose yourself in anything if it's captivating enough.
