My first real computer, following some of the early game consoles. Well, I had a Commodore 128 to be exact, but I spent about 95% of my time playing games in C64 mode. 🕹️😁

My wife was from a Commodore 64 family. I was a ZX Spectrum baby. I was mentioning the flashing borders and noise when loading games.

"What noise?" she asked.

I'd not realised C64 games were silent (except Novaload, apparently). She'd not realised that Speccy games screamed constantly. I played a video to show her.

"Fuck me!" she said. "No wonder you've got tinnitus. How did you not go insane?"

I like the noise.
