I didn't have a PC but I worked helpdesk time at a local IT joint and they would regularly do PC lan tournament every month. Eventually I got the invite so I'd come check it out

I"m a old head, I remember in college Halo over the T1 connection or whatever it was.

Then we got into that Socom on PS2.

My mom was/is a nurse she was “on call” back then so her job gave her a PC and one of those old ass brick cell phones in like 94.

she had no clue on how to use any of it, so i spent my time just messing around and teaching myself stuff. Was already pirating games when i was like 12 years old

Wanna talk about OG online games. Back then before companies having a website was even a thing. Sears had a website and all that was on there was the number/address to their corporate offices and and online maze game where you just tried to make it through the maze before the other player.

Sears revolutionized online gaming back in 1996

Sometimes I wish I could go back to the internet being as mind-blowing as it was back then when it was all so new.

The Dreamcast was truly my 1st dial up online gaming experience with PSO.

It blew my mind back in the day.

Man, being able to just see whatever you wanted to whenever felt unreal. This box gave you video games, music, p0rn, anime, social media it was crazy. I was addicted to being on the internet during those years I'd say I still am heavily reliant on the internet but back then it was insane to me.

Bruh.

I remember just sitting at the table we had the PC on, and just sitting there, mind blown, thinking "So, I can just get all this shyt........for free?"

The internet is on that short list of things that I look back that changed me from merely allowed to Legal.
