The only refuges left are in niche communities where the old spirit of the old internet can be found. Like Vtuber comment streams https://twitter.com/batshaped/status/1254266938097758209">https://twitter.com/batshaped...

Kind of not joking. I know it& #39;s hipster to be all "it& #39;s popular so it sucks now" but it& #39;s kind of true? PC games definitely lost some of their old charm once everyone from the portfolio manager dad to a 14 year old bullies started playing basic ass games like COD and MW.

We have a lot of great games now that publishing has gotten cheaper/easier. But my measure is joysticks and realistic sims. Look at how many of those are out there. It& #39;s like having a sacred relic being in possession of a good PC joystick no matter how old.

Ah wait, COD is MW or something, I guess SOCOM is the other one I& #39;m thinking of. They& #39;re all the same.

Anyway, reintroduce having to navigate DOS prompts to start your game so we can have a barrier of entry to the riffraf again I dunno
