If your bored enjoy this rabbit hole. So, couple years ago I tried the online dating thing. I was speaking with someone that shared some of the same interests, one of them being memes. She sent me this exact meme and said that she drew it for a friend. They didn’t realize you could look up the history of said memes. I did the right thing and kept that bit to my self so she couldn’t use that information against the next dude. The history of said meme https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/aww-yiss

Personal Computer (80-90s)

Doom 2 - Spent my childhood on dial up playing other friends over the modem. Up all hours of the night using chainsaws and rockets. Late 90s when Duke Nukem came out, It was the first game I drove immediately to the store and purchased. Back in the day when you bought the box and had to take it home and install it. Thought it was leading edge and funny as hell. To be fair it was at the time. Today that information is tracked. I’d like to know how many thousands of hours I spent on this game. But it was hilarious and late fun filled nights.

Today I buy 2-3 games per decade. But still game for a majority of my entertainment. One of the benefits of being an old gamer is that if you build a new system today it can play everything from the 70s to 2023 at a minimal. Toss in Emulation for other consoles in there you really have a plethora of choices, 4 decades worth to be specific. All of which contain no tracking, no always online, no micro-transactions. As gaming was intended! Really hard to find something that checks those boxes, about 2-3 titles per decade worth purchasing.

Playing HorizonFFXI currently. Used to play it retail from 2003-2007. Been pretty chill and relaxing so far. Also play a lot of Kenshi. Very hard to find games without monetization. Thus I only play really old stuff.
