Computer games is a bit of a different story than Video games in general.
I know I played oldschool runescape back in like... at least 2006. I remember when hunter was released as a skill. So that puts me at about 10 years old at that time. But I didn't really get into computer games until I was maybe 12 or 13. I had a step brother at the time who played this game called Shadowbane, and let me tell you, Shadowbane was the most fucking ballerest game to ever fucking exist, ever. Goddamn that game was dope. There's an emulator for it and I've played it recently and it's still fun as fuck; it's just hard to get into because the whole game is around PvP and the PvP is really complex and requires a lot of learning.
But yeah, that would have been around 2008. So that's about when I really seriously got into computer games, specifically.

perhaps 4 or so, i don't really recall. i had an electronic toy piano, just something i could mess with. i believe i first played the concertina piano at the age of 6, wasn't great at it, but learned a simple song for the keyboard by 7 thanks to my dad, and played it at a family reunion musician gig when i was 9. "Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen" would be the name(s) of the song(s), by Santana.

I was a TA for a while in an English center for kids but I didn't like how they were treating the foreign teachers (talking behind their back, disrespecting them etc) so I quitted after a while.
Your age when you first tasted your favorite food.
perhaps by 5 or so, but didn't really exactly understand what cultures they were.

3rd grade, so like 8 years old. My dad was drunk while our family was eating out with other people and I told him that I'm thirsty, so he gave me "water". Being an innocent kid at that time, I thought that it was water and then drank it, but go figure, it was alcohol.
But my vocabulary was very short so even if I could read I couldn't understand what was written there.
Spanish is easy to read aloud, each letter represents one sound (there are a few exceptions, but they aren't difficult to remember.)
C is read as "s" before e or i.
CH is the common CH sound.
G is read as "j" before e or i. btw, the Spanish J is pronounced like the H in English, I haven't found any other language that pronounces J like that The "u" is silent in "gue" or "gui", but not in "güe" or "güi"
H is not pronounced
LL is pronounced like a middle point between the J of Jam and the Y of Yes.
Q is only used along with u, the u is silent in "que" or "qui"
R is trilled at the start of a word, a flap in the middle of a word, except when it's doubled.
There are only 5 vowels written and pronounced, all of them pronounced the same regardless of clusters (with the exceptions above) A, E, I, O, U.
Y is pronounced like LL before a vowel, but as I before a consonant or in the end of a word.
Some dialects might have consonant elision, but that's not the standard, however, voiced consonants are often reduced to fricatives in the middle of vowels in most varieties.
I remember I was awful at reading books at my primary school (didn't read them much) because I found them too easy and therefore boring (was more interested in Horrible Histories).
However, I don't really remember when I was able to read fluently, or when I started finding school books way too easy for me. The earliest I was reading Horrible Histories that I remember was when I was 8, and I completely understood the books. Horrible Histories had books with around 100 pages, I think.
Yeah, biggest book I have of that series is ~250 pages and that's a combination of two of the books. So yeah, around 100 pages in a single book in the series.
I kinda miss reading that series. Might read again.
I started to draw to express myself (not learning anything) since I was 13.
I started to learn how to draw (including bare fundamentals) on-and-off since I was 15. However, I've drawn around once a month at most.
I hope to draw more.
I used cared about my academic results until I was in late high school, after I was accepted into the college (I was 16 at that time) I wanted I started to care less about them, however, I don't like to have mediocre grades.
I consider that learning is what matters most, so I focus in learning rather than having high grades.
