nobody stopping you from quitting your job and playing games from 2005 50 hours a week....
that's the scary part about being an adult.
Normal people have to pay bills and attend to social obligations
Not if you move back into your mom's basement
Part of being an adult is realizing you can do whatever the hell you want, as long as you accept the consequences.
I wasn't a kid, life was better
Objectively yes, it was. The surveillance alone is reason for ye olden days (1999) being far superior to now. Even still, you could mostly insulate yourself from the modern world by only using pre 2015 or older tech and not having a smartphone. Only use Gemini protocol or gophernet for internet.
This is mostly how I live on weekends. Just hang out on irc if you need social contact.
and being an adult is something unecessarily horrible and punishing
Canva makes me regret living. There I finally fucking said it. Whew that feels better.
my first PC game I played was one I programmed in BASIC out of a magazine...
my back hurts.
Seeing the RO icon will always bring me joy.
The free servers were amazing for a broke high school student.
Especially because third-party servers often had multiple times the XP rate of the official ones which made them way less of a grind.
Still a grind. I can't even count the time sunk in.
Just less of one!
Haven’t thought of it in YEARS, then last week my buddy up and hosted a private server. Been happily grinding every day. It’s weird that I see it again here.
RO was such a fever dream in Brazil, it was magic
Oh boy that game was fun. I was a noob and had a strange mage whose attack weapon was a magic staff i had to hit people with.
This is the game where i discovered the existence of battle priest. Modern MMO won't allow such flexibility build.
ragnarok online mentioned
What’s wrong with L4D2?
What's that bottom panel crossed shape one?
I believe it's some sort of clip editor. I have no idea the name though
Heroes of Newerth was the best moba of all of them. Just saw there is a HoN reborn? Anybody know if it’s any good?
Growing up isn't worth it anymore...
