>>716486383to be fair text games were already on their way out by the time 4chan became a thing
right before I found this website in the 00s people were still playing things called MUDs (multi-user dungeons) which were text based MMOs and a lot of you zoomers may not know this but there was a brief period on the internet where text-based roleplaying was HUGE
AOL and Yahoo had hundreds of chatrooms dedicated to people creating scenarios and acting them out with each other
i really do miss it
