Connecting to the Shrecknet?

>>714261084
I fully believe the internet went to shit when going online stopped being a bit of a hassle
When "connecting" to the web stopped being a thing and you were just always on, when smartphones started having regular and easy web connectivity, when there was no longer some delay or a bit of fiddling required
Don't get me wrong, these are great quality of life changes for us actual old web users
But they've stopped filtering normalfags, and that's a shame

Anyway yeah I got treats

>>714260814 (OP)
What's the bucket for, anon?

>>714260814 (OP)
I came with the boys!

>what do you want to play first?

>Alcohol in a bag
What kinda third world nonsense is this

sorry, already at the cooler BYOC LAN party with da boys

>>714261286
It's true. I'm old enough to have been there for the very start of the net and I remember having to tell my mum not to pick up the phone when it rings so I could play SC with my bud. Dumb bitch always picked it up too. The net we knew is dead. It sucks because it was fucking amazing and shit at the same time. It was a huge barrier of entry having to press connect and pay for internet by the hour. Now everything is run by the internet but that internet that was run by people instead of corporations and government is sorely missed.

space age bitch

IMO the biggest barrier being crossed was smartphones
Stuff like dial up net being replaced and the switch to common wifi were... fine... sure they made things easier but this was still an era where most of the web was ours
The real big issue was every normie having a phone in their pocket that can connect to the web, THAT was where shit started going south fast

>>714261802
>Slavs
God I love those wacky folk
They are shitposts given human form
The divide between Russians and Ukranians is so artificial and political *spits* in reality all slavs are one and the same breed and they're amazing

>>714262061
>>714261802
not to get too >tinfoil here, but i have a personal theory that the ukraine and russian war is a bit fake
in reality they're after america, they're using ukraine to sap resources from america to weaken it so that russia can invade since they're a massive powerhouse and ukraine will end up getting a share of the loot

but that's just a theory
a gay theory
thanks for watching

I for one do not miss how laggy image loading was on DSL and every time I get nostolgic for the old web I remember how much it actually kind of sucked.
I think the peak period was during the bulletin board era where forums were quick, smart, and decentralized and none of the HTML5 ad bloat had entered the wide web.

>>714262348
it's really a mix of pros and cons

the technical improvements are great but the cultural disaster it brought about cannot be understates

>>714260814 (OP)
i'm literally fine with all of this except the buckets
used to LAN all the time in my friend's basement

>>714262431
Why does everyone seem to have an issue with the buckets
What's wrong with a few buckets?

>>714262481
depends on what is/was in them, don't shit where you eat etc

>>714262061
I mean its not like they aren't the same ethnically and culturally, it's just the Russians want to install a geriatric communist as the leader of the entirety of Eastern Europe.
I'd say the war is their version of voting.

>>714262481
>>714262519

>>714262527
its always the same ethnic groups fighting eachother
the chinese and japanese
the israelis and the arabs
the english and the scottish
close proximity with mild differences causes a lot of animosity, it's a fact of life

>>714262630
Is that why /v/ and Reddit pretend to hate eachother?

>come to LAN party
>people start talking about everything other than playing vidya
ah
the usual

>>714262630
What an idiot take, one of those listed was always the aggressor going apeshit against the other one

>>714265282
>doesn't mention which "one"
haha, well baited my friend, well baited

HoMM3, anyone?

>bring alchohol to party
>drink all of it
>host is sipping like a bitch
>get more from the fridge
>get passive aggressive comments like "you should drink what you bring" or some bullshit
If we are drinking, WE are drinking, not my fault you are doing it for the "taste" (LM@O)

>>714267464
also give your little sister her switch back, mario party? overcooked? Nah bitch, vegas

>>714266962

>>714260814 (OP)
tape me to the ceiling brother

>>714262152
>the last part
