>The point was that I have already said the things I said.
I'm sure it was but this the first I've seen it.
>He is like 40, he is boomerposting
Ok so he may have alzheimer's 🤣
>These are questions he won't answer when asked directly
Have you tried calling him 😉
I know you guys got each other numbers.

Idyllic.

Remember in 1999 when Agent Smith told Neo that the late 90s were the peak of human civilization and everyone in the theater chuckled?

I have partied with fedi peeps, it's cool. I'm in the computer, I don't mind stepping out of the computer for beers or LAN party or whatever.
But I don't think meeting him IRL is required to know if he's working tonight.
> Though in a sincere way, Graf would know.
graf's a friend and appears to be friends with matty; I don't like to drive wedges and I am compulsively direct about my motivations.

@p I miss LAN parties so badly.
Some days, I want to go back to 1997...
...sitting with 9 pals, their PC's and cables, power strips and other cords all snarled up in the living room... pizza boxes open, cans of soda and beer everywhere, as we merrily blew each other to pieces in Quake and Duke Nukem.
We didn't realize it at the time, but that was about as good as life would ever get.
"Xaylla, you Quad camping cunt!"
I miss those days.

>You were tagged in the posts, I don't know what to tell you.
I must have gotten a shit ton of notifications. 🤷
My bad if I got distracted my some other thread or irl.
>Maybe I will, you know if he's working tonight?
No idea. I've never met anyone irl and really don't want to.
Though in a sincere way, Graf would know.

@SilverDeth @p no network outages. No lag. No mess with joining a chat, joining a group, getting the perms right. It wasn't without its problems but you could solve them and learn from them.
There's been much progress that's less absolute advancement and more "dubious sidegrade", French press (1850s), K-cup machines (2004). Safety razor (1870), Gillette disposable multi-blade razors (1998). Kick scooter (1817), e-scooter (2000s). lan-party StarCraft (1998), online-only StarCraft II (2010).
