### How We Got Here
- **2011**: [Georges](https://georges.fyu) stumbles on what would become [his favorite SMBC comic](https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2011-02-17), thank you [Zach](https://mastodon.social/@ZachWeinersmith)!
- **2011**: [Georges](https://georges.fyi) stumbles on what would become [his favorite SMBC comic](https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2011-02-17), thank you [Zach](https://mastodon.social/@ZachWeinersmith)!
- **2020**: Georges joins the [OPS-SAT-1](https://opssat1.esoc.esa.int) mission control team at the European Space Agency (ESA) as a spacecraft operations engineer. Visions of running Doom in space intensifies.
- **2023**: The reality of a 2024 end-of-mission by atmospheric re-entry starts to hit hard. The spacecraft's impending doom (see what I did there?) is a wake-up call to get serious abour running Doom in space before it's too late.
- **2024**: Georges has been asking around for help with compiling and deploying Doom for the spacecraft's ARM32 onboard computer but isn't making progress. One night, while doomscrolling (ha!) on Instagram instead of sleeping, he stumbles on a reel from [Ólafur](https://mastodon.social/@olafurw)'s ["Playing Video Games One Frame at a Time"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Nf8KcG4ro) presentation at NDC TechTown 2023. After sliding into the DM, the rest is history.
