Bright blue until I was at least in my teens. Faded to grey by the time I was in my 30s.

Don't beat yourself up. Seriously.
I was able to break free early partly due to how absurd the hypocrisy became. My mother was going to hell, not because she's a cold narcissist, but a Jew and a 'practitioner' of new age bullshit. And my father saw nothing at all wrong with this type of belief.
Not to mention he was pretty racist (though in a 'subtle' way), while helping raise my adopted Korean sister.
I was lucky that he and my mother were such atrociously bad examples of how to deal with others, that I vowed to never be like them.
That was my thought too. Princess Leia is a complete badass and my first time seeing a woman in that such a depiction on any screen.
It defined a genre. And had some pretty advanced concepts for the time (the first game I played with right-click help pop-ups).
It's still being worked on, mostly via Caster of Magic. The 'reboot' is OK, but a bit too slavish in copying the UI issues.
More like "we can't hear you over all these AIPAC donations constantly rolling in".
Or I could just play some sweet Master of Magic (DOS version)... a game so beloved it's still getting actively modded some 30 years later!
I have such a ridiculous backlog to play. Such guilt.
Same boat here my friend.
1000+ hours, lots of intricate builds. Post Ashlands has been miserable.
With all that, still the best $20 I've ever spent in 43 years of gaming.
They've gotten progressively more poorly thought out though.
Mistlands is glorious, but so fogged in as to be essentially invisible. I resorted to a mod to increase the value of the wisp.
Ashlands is just a brutal, unfun grind. Not hard, just relentless especially with endless pop-in of enemies. Not to mention even more horrendous performance... 20fps on a very high end system is abysmal (rtx 4090, nvme drive, etc).
Valheim was amazing. But it's faltered so badly in the past 2 years that I'm just sad. Very sad.

Sadly I wasn't wondering. Just watching the country implode very quickly, only for an equally horrifying explosion coming all too soon.
There will be mass violence if Trump wins or loses. Far more manageable if the latter, but democrats are masters of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
