SomethingAwful forums were NEVER about any kind of free speech. They had stifling censorship that drove a lot of the regulars off the forums for good.
Art Bell was amazing in the late 1990s........then I think his son being sexually assaulted messed him up because was all downhill after that. He would constantly flake out and always had an excuse. He finally got a new…
I'm old so I remember when SomethingAwful was like 4chan and reddit combined for its time. I never actually registered an account on the forums, I was busy on other sites. My biggest issue with the SA forums is how they…
When I got online in 1996-1997 there was some website that played with font sizing and graphics to make the biggest Fuck on the internet. Like it would take a couple minutes to scroll on an old 640x480 monitor. Good…
I used to work in a warehouse driving a forklift. I will take a desk job any day of the week over that hell.
I was still in college when the Raptor came out. I had an affluent friend who put two in RAID0 and I never saw Windows XP boot up so fast. He has some kind of solution rigged up for the noise so it was noticeable but…
I emailed Matrox and asked if support for GLQuake was coming and they emailed me back and said "We are currently working on the drivers" Total lie. The Mystique was completely incapable of supporting GLQuake. Live and…
In 1996 I had got my first PC, I wanted a 3D card but didn't have the technical knowledge to understand the difference between cards. I got a Matrox Mystique. It ran a couple of games well that it came with. It was…

I used lophtcrack to get the windows admin password to the computer lab PCs in high school :)
I'm old, my online friends moved from IRC to Discord around 2017.
I stopped using Waterfox back in like 2010-2012(not sure the exact year) and switched to Cyberfox. Then to Chrome, back to Firefox. I don't see any point in using Waterfox in 2021.

For a time after its launch in I think 1997 people were calling Total Annihilation the greatest RTS and maybe the greatest game of all time. I wish the RTS community wouldn't shit so hard on any game that isn't…
In 1996 I got online for the first time with dial up, it creeped my mother out "why do people talk to each other over the computer why can't they use the phone?" lol
I was wondering the same. Just anecdotal but Frogbot was the best for me, it could rocket jump in all the right places in Clan Arena.
I was told when I majored in CS in year 2000 that "in 20 years Java will be the only language" and also "it will impossible for an American to get a job as they will be hiring all of their programmers from India"
I got a ZIP drive like a year before I got a CD burner so it didn't have a very long lifespan. I wish I still had it so I could hook it up and see what I put on the discs.
>using polar coordinates for clipping comes to mind Wonder how he would do it in 2021. Also GLDoom was a project that started off of this but the source code was lost for 20 years due to a hard drive failure.
I was super hyped for Overwatch, I loved my time with the beta. I thought Overwatch was going to be the new Counter-Strike, Quake, or Halo. One of those games that just defines its time period. Then it launched and I…
