As someone who grew up in similar circumstances in the 90s but in South Africa (no home internet, no books, no friends no help at all) and then finally found Denthor of Asphyxia's tutorials (as well as PCGPE and eventually Huge), I was super gutted to find there wasn't really a South African graphics coding scene, it was basically just him :/
Mode 13h changed my life and set me on the course to being a graphics coder today (along with an email from John Carmack!), it's been such an amazing ride with hardware getting exponentially faster every year (RIP to that). I ought to get mov ax, 13h; int 10h tattooed along with 0xa0000, 0x3c8, 0x3c9 or something :)
