The picture is on my phone. Twelve boys have set up two televisions and Xboxes in a 10x12 room. Halo: Combat Evolved is paused.

Whenever I see old LAN Party photos like that, all I can think about is how awful those rooms must have smelt like, and the electricity bill.

I'm sad that so many nostalgia posts on the internet are based around consuming.

More importantly why would you even need a screen in the bathroom? Literally ruins the most basic act of our existence.

One thing I don't miss about Reddit is how dependence on automod made it literally unusable for new accounts (sh.itjust.works)
 

On Reddit if you have a new account that wasn't five years old and had over 9,000 upvotes you'd be de-facto banned from 90% of all subreddits by AutoModerator removing everything you posted. Even then if you didn't use proper bracketing or whatever you'd get removed as well.

Part of me thinks this was intentional to get people attached to their accounts that conveniently had their life stories, writing styles, beliefs, likes and dislikes all in one place.
