I remember times when computer time was limited even for those who were young.

By the net café and pocket money.

I used to have an hour of Internet a week as a kid. I'm sure it cost a lot paying per minute.

People don't remember computer/cyber cafés and how much it cost.

They were worth it though. There was one across the street from my high school and I'd play dota, CS 1.6, and StarCraft on LAN with some buddies after school. Nothing beat that experience and it's a shame we lost something this great.

My friends and I would often do a night run at the local computer café which was fairly cheap. I'm glad I was a teen at the time, I definitely wouldn't enjoy being awake all night nowaday, but fun times indeed.

Are there computers in heaven/hell?

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago

would hardly be heaven without them.

That being said I'm going to hell so the meme still applies

All DOS go to heaven. So you'll have Sim City 1 at least.

I wanna spend as little time as possible so I can spend as much time enjoying the earth as possible. Before we burn it down
