I was 7 years old when the '80s began and 17 years old when they ended, so it was an incredibly formative decade for me.

I’d designed my avatar’s face and body to look, more or less, like my own. My avatar had a slightly smaller nose than me, and he was taller. And thinner. And more muscular. And he didn’t have any teenage acne. But aside from these minor details, we looked more or less identical.

I wanted to be able to write in the voice that I talk to my friends and assume that everybody would know what I was talking about.
