About Gary

A personal blog exploring technology, video games, and whatever else happens to hijack my attention.

A nostalgic gaming corner featuring a small, chunky, transparent plastic game console from the 1990s connected to a curved CRT television, its convex glass screen glowing softly with an indistinct, colorful title screen. The console sits on a slightly scuffed wooden TV stand, next to a stack of classic game cartridges and a coiled controller cable. The room is dim, lit mainly by the CRT’s cool, bluish light, casting gentle reflections on the plastic surfaces and a faint halo on the wall behind. Photographic realism, shot from a low angle with a shallow depth of field, evoking a reflective, slightly moody atmosphere that hints at personal stories about retro games and technology memories.
A close-up of a slim, modern game console standing vertically on a low-profile media shelf made of dark stained wood, its matte white casing contrasting with a glossy black center column illuminated by a soft blue status light. Next to it, a small row of game cases is neatly aligned, their spines forming a colorful but slightly blurred band. The wall behind is a smooth, neutral gray, with an ultra-thin TV above displaying an abstract, out-of-focus cityscape in cool tones. Soft, diffused evening lighting from recessed ceiling lights creates gentle highlights on the console edges and faint reflections in the TV screen. Photographic realism, shot at a three-quarter angle, conveying a clean, professional, tech-savvy gaming space.

Tech, Games, and Everything Between

I’m Gary Lucero. I started my journey with technology in the early 1970s with reel-to-reel tape recorders, record players, 8-track tapes, early cameras, and calculators. I became a hi-fi nut, then found video game consoles and computers in the early 1980s, and that was that!

Today, I spend my time tinkering mostly with software on Windows PCs, or video games on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. I am a huge fan of the Commodore Amiga and other old computers and love to explore them on the MiSTer FPGA.
