As a kid I never watched South Park, the Simpsons, I never played Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh, I was homeschooled, and I wasn't allowed to play any games with blood in them. I spent a lot of my time reverse engineering some video games to remove the blood to appeal to my parents to let me play them. This was how I sort've got into modding.
Blockland has been the beginning and the bane of my internet addiction. Started here, did some stupid stuff, and my parents found out and banned me from the internet for like a year. Then I eventually got back to it, playing on Blockland and stuff, and I did something immensely stupid and wound up in some weird beta online relationship. This ended in disaster, as would be expected, and my parents banned me from everything for half a year and then for like a year afterwards I was on some weird internet filter. After continued fighting and rebellion my parents eventually just gave the forget up and stopped caring about what I do on the internet so long as I use my best judgement.
