The Second World War became my favourite subject matter. My first memory of this simulated murder comes from when I was eight I was a United States Ranger storming the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc on D-Day in Call of Duty II, and I had Nazis to kill. Growing up, I had a boyish interest in military history, and the video games I played for entertainment aligned with such tastes. The desktop computer that sits in my room glows in rainbow colours, my keyboard is backlit in red, and I have two monitors.
