shoutout to all those folks who were about to identify with this post and then suddenly felt super old
shoutout to the computer room dwellers glued to pre-internet computers
shoutout to misspent youth wasted on Zork and Kings Quest and Commander Keen
shoutout to that friend with Wolfenstein and Leisure Suit Larry
shoutout to coupler modems and MUDs and usenet
shoutout to beige computers and particle board “computer desks” and 3.5 floppies and 5.25 floppies and color monitors
shoutout to the dawn of the information age, which you spent mostly just playing Lemmings or shouting down the hallway “DON’T ANSWER THE PHONE!”
