I remember lugging my CRT to friend’s house. We’d compare who had the nicer CRT 😂 but the real face-off was always in the games. Battlefield, CS, Quake, WoW, Halo, UT.

Yeah, nerdy 😆 nostr:note1p6zc2t4d0g0hdhn7lepwz62j7se37y0qk56cjjfpumy89lwxtwesxhtkwd

Need some RTS in there

LOL never had one. The first thing I bought in my 20s was a word processor. Aside from a Commodore 64 I didnt get a real computer till I was in my 30s

Bonus if you throw a switch (1000 points if a hub!) in the middle of the floor.

Networking in those days was such a bitch.

Oh yeah.

I’m addition to home LAN parties I remember during my early career when it was the dead part of the year (late December) when a bunch of us would fire up Quake 3 arena and it was OK because the system admins were hosting the game.

We used to do Duke Nukem and Quake LANs. The good old days.

Those were the days! We used to play Aliens vs Predator quite a bit too on LAN.. Loved being an Alien and hanging in the ducts 😂

I loved AvP, especially if I got to be a marine with a grenade launcher 🤣🤣💥🤣💥💥💥💥💥

Oh man totally

My first LAN “party” was at NYU’s computer labs at 14. Some summer computer class I was put in.

I brought my DOOM knee deep in the dead shareware CD and we were the kids in the back playing death match in turbo mode.

I think that helped bootstrap my understanding of LAN networking (and whatever the fuck Novell netware IPX was) more than anything else.
