That was me with Quake II. All my rich friends had cable modems when they were still a luxury item and the rest of us poors out in the woods had to make do with 12kbps. It was a slaughter every night after school.

My friends and I used to do that. We find some scumbag trawling the teen chat rooms on AOL and get them to IM us. The we’d say we wanted to send them a picture us and we’d send them gore, scat porn, and other gross shit. Some of the best nights of my teenage years.
My first hands-on experience with the Internet was at a friend’s house in the early 90s in 4th or 5th grade. I’d seen it before on various classroom computers but I never got a chance to use it because the teachers all seemed to agree on putting the unstable desk-throwing kids in front of them for the school day to keep them distracted.
I went to school with a kid whose last name was Homo. This was the 90s in a culturally cloistered part of the US - at least back then - so the kid never heard the end of it. He changed his surname after graduation.

I’m relatively new to Linux. I honestly don’t see what the problem is.
I’d tell myself all of this depression and anxiety you’re going through isn’t normal or something you just need to deal with. You’re mentally ill and you need medication and therapy.1

It’s pretty idiot-proof and I haven’t had any issues with software since gaming is largely solved on Linux and Adobe can eat my ass.

I wrote him off as a prick after he practically had a narcissistic meltdown during a stream with a psychiatrist when he was told that he comes off as an arrogant pedant and needs to learn to admit when he’s wrong.
He’s been working on that game for almost a decade now, too.
He’ll gladly tell you about how he was hacker/dev whizkid at Blizzard for 7 years. Of course, he’ll leave out the fact that he was only a QA tester and a web security drone who got the job because his father is a big wig there.
Shitty gas station job I worked at in my late teens tried to switch to those ratfucking cash cards and end paper checks. They claimed that the first withdrawal or use on the card from any location wouldn’t charge us any fees.
I proved that wrong by trying to get my full paycheck out of the ATM we had in the store and got slapped with a 10 dollar fee. When my boss shrugged and said “Oh, well” I went home and looked up the state labor laws about these fucking cards. Turns out they weren’t allowed to charge fees in my state at all and any use of such fees would be treated as wage theft.
Company changed their tune real quick when I threatened HR about going to our local daily and the labor department about it. Paper paychecks were suddenly an option again and everyone got a $25 bonus for whatever fees they lost. Fuckers. I quit three months later.
