    Nothing will ever match the feelings when you were young and things were new. It’s easier to accept that than face the constant disappointment trying to recapture it.

    Playing league with my cousins 10 years algo may have been the only time I’ve got any enjoyment from League of Legends.

    One time back in Halo 3 in a FFA game I killed everyone else on the map twice before I died, and that death was from a grenade I threw to finish someone off when I ran out of ammo and had to melee him. I have never felt that powerful before or since.

    Jesus Christ this hits home. We used to link 4 xbox, from the basement to the 2nd story. My parents, extatic that I was interacting with other people, would order bottomless pizza and soda, and kids WAY outside of my social tier would show up and be nice to me. Then, on Monday, I’d just go back to being the weirdo nerd again…

    GMod LAN parties. To be fair, I’m sure I could have the same fun now. Only everyone’s schedules are different and we can’t get together for a good 24 hours of intermittent sleep, play, and loud music.

    The fuck happened to us?

    This was definitely a Babylon Bee article. Can’t tell if they made it or just copied it from reddit. If they originated it, best Babylon Bee article by a long shot.

    For me it was Nintendo 64, Goldeneye sleepover party. Pure, unbridled, unadulterated happiness. A time with what felt like genuine acceptance and kindness.

    For me it was a little known game called ThinkTanks. It was created as a demo for a companies game engine and never got much support. It was a silly little catoon tank game with basic 3D.

    The community figured out how to bypass the demo restrictions on the game engine. The game was modded to an insane degree. Thousands of new maps, new game types and objects. I dabbled with it at the time and created around 70 maps personally.

    Last I check the original game was someone like 8mb of space. The full mod pack with all of the maps was 2GB

      Wow you have just unlocked a hidden memory for me. My dad had this game on his Mac G5, and I would play (vanilla) all the time. Back then I thought the internet was small, so when I saw someone online with the name “Will” and thought it was one of my friends from school.

      I wonder if there is anyone still playing.

    For me it was warcraft. I just bought and assembled my NZXT Vulcan rig and I think that LAN party was the peak of my existence.
