    I’m thankful I was in my late teens and early 20s during the 90s. It was pretty good and I have a lot of nostalgia for it. The cold war ended. Berlin Wall fell. Mandela walked free. Such an optimistic time. And great music to boot!

    Also had internet but no smart phones. You had to take your whole computer to Lan parties.

      I both do and don’t miss LAN parties. Like getting everyone playing took forever, then you played a few rounds of that game. Someone suggested a different game. Rinse, repeat until the sun comes up.

        And you’d have to deal with dodgy IPX drivers for your network card. And someone forgot the coax 50ohm terminator at home etc. But still I’m glad I have those memories.

        hosting them was such a pain in the ass too, i only did it once and didn’t have enough space or power outlets for everyone; some of them had to play without speakers. lol
