It's August 4th, 1999. You have a few weeks of summer vacation left. You wake up in the morning and message your buddy ELSears asking if he wants to come over and play games on your Dreamcast.
You don't know this, but this is the greatest era for the internet, technology, and human civilization. It's all downhill from here.

Not to hurt your nostalgia but i love modern internet and an ui that doesnt look like cavemen shit
>i love modern internet
We know, mindbroken zoom zoom.
sure ! enjoy your 1999 text based crap
>People used to give a shit about each other online instead
computers/tech have the sole need of engaging yourself. Saying tech bad because people became shittier is a lame excuse. If you loved to have people care about you then stop using a computer and go meet people.
>text based
Heaven forbid we use words instead of pictures, intellectually stunted zoomer.
any tech from 1999 is objectively inferior to tech from 2023.
>sure ! enjoy your 1999 text based crap
There is arguably more graphical content in the image OP posted than text
>It's le bad because ... it's OUTDATED! It looks like something cavemen would use! And that's ... le bad even tough it looks gorgeous and is much better then today's design!
I'm gonna kill myself
I'm just hoping I can survive WW3 and maybe something resembling the old internet can come back in my last few decades. Frick. People used to give a shit about each other online instead of trying to 1up each other with their funniest gore image or wojak.
The internet should have never been worldwide or mobile phone based, it should have been restricted to a per state level only. It should have been restricted and locked down and kept artificially small
Frick me, man. I feel so bad for zoomers, they don't know what they missed out on.
return to bbses
shit fanfiction, unsubbed
go back
this doomer circlejerking shit is just as insufferable as reddit zoomers
You can tell OP is right because it hits home and makes anons like >97862936 seethe about what they missed
Sour grapes at its finest.
>seethe about what they missed
not that at all. its more the self defeating whiny wistful attitude that annoys me. that's why the magic of those days will never be recaptured again. you all just mope about it like a bunch of homosexuals
The magic can't be recaptured because it requires good faith in your fellow man, which doesn't exist anymore. No matter how hard you try, you'll always be polluted by redditors, channers, tiktokers and dominated by their culture.
You can never have your galapagos islands again. That was the special sauce.
>ywn get to destroy people in microsoft ants again
I honestly think if some indie just ripped off microsoft ants with anime girls and multiplayer it could be a big hit tbh
I forgot all about Microsoft Ants.
That shit was great. I'd love to play it again
>diablo ii with the boys, just a game for fun, no sociopolitics ruining it
>going for a swim in the beach and not worrying about cancer or microplastics or world war 3
>you know, and trust, each and every single person in your neighborhood
>"dude, intel is going to bring out pentium 4 next year!"
All memories now. It is never going to come back.
Plot twist.
1999 is actually the year 5100
Our greatgreat^19 lived that already.
Dude a few posts above me, chill the fukk out. Like you never ordered anything from ebay or online store.
Girly boy, eat a pop tart or something, you cuck
i never used AOL but i remember that era fondly
I remember It was the summer of 2001 or 2002, nice cool summer morning, I had just bought new issue of some weekly gaming magazine with latest news, latest game reviews etc, I had no worries, life was comfy back them
the Dreamcast didn't release until the 9th of September in the US.
