When the Fear of Weightlessness Taught Me to Fly: My Journey from Aviator Novice to Starlight Warlord

I never thought I’d write a game about flying until I sat alone in my Chicago apartment one midnight, watching the Aviator game’s last spin like a plane disappearing into clouds. I was raised on military documentaries—my father, an Irish-American engineer, taught me that real flight isn’t loud. It’s quiet. It’s calibrated.

At first, I clicked ‘Take Off’ like a child pressing buttons at an airport fair. But soon I realized: the true warlord doesn’t chase RTP. She reads it—the way wind moves through static data. Every multiplier is a pulse; every pause, a breath.

I set my budget at $50 per session—not because I feared loss, but because I loved the rhythm of silence between spins. The screen became my cockpit: blue-gray gradients like dawn over Lake Michigan. No桑巴 drums here—just the hum of server fans and the hush after a win.

I stopped using ‘Aviator Tricks’ videos. Instead, I kept a journal: each flight was a poem written in binary light.

The real trick? Don’t play for winnings. Play for wonder.

Last year during the virtual Air Show at Chicago Aviation Museum—I submitted my first screenshot as art. Not proof of luck—but proof of presence.

You don’t need hacks to reach the stars. You just need to be still long enough to hear them breathe.

Click ‘Take Off’—and let silence carry you.
