Such a unique atmosphere it was. Back when the internet was becoming more widespread but the centralization of power had not yet taken place. Tens of thousands of individual community cultures were flourishing everywhere like islands spread across a vast ocean. It's so hard to describe this time period to people who haven't lived through it. But those who have, they know exactly what I'm talking about.

I have such vivid memories of being excited to get home from school and chat to the pals I was just with on MSN. Something about the novelty of online chat was so palpably exciting - transitioning from the functional and grey 90's computing into this big-buttoned, colourful mess was like someone kicking open French doors of the mind and allowing the masses to realise how fun and engaging it could all be. Suddenly computers were cool. You could reach out across the town, country and world - breaching your safe and insular four walls; seeking but never knowing what you'll find. It's a slightly nerdy/pathetic comparison but I can't help but equate it to scratching that itch of navigating and exploring the "unknown world", as so many before us had done centuries ago. Such heartfelt nostalgia to have lived through the Wild West of the internet and its meteoric rise to complete dominance and reliance.

I was “that guy” who -pestered- taught everyone there was something wrong with their display settings and taught them why everything looks so stretched out.

For most people it was the opposite. Many people (including me) hated Steam. I had no DSL back then, so every patch took some hours and I had to pay per minute, you had no choice if you want to update or not, you just had to. Also another argument was, that you can't resell games which was no problem back then. I started with Counter-Strike 1.5 and hated 1.6 for the fact, it forced me to use Steam. Now it's pretty unthinkable that there was a time without it.

I see why you like it. It was truly amazing time, a lot of freedom, little to no moderation, the business interest still wasn't really there so you didn't get all sort of things popping off in the programs, everything was pretty scarce (from media stuff to some scripts/programs) so it had substantial value. But what I miss the most is small communities in the games and on the forums living in their own bubbles. You would kind of by accident get into some sort of guild/group in a game with its own webpage and hang out within it with its own events, memes etc. Now it's way too different, everything is very centralized, a lot more people (and of very different groups, early internet is basically the place dominated by very young guys from NA/EU, and folks who could afford and figure out how to do stuff online, now it's a melting pot of normies).

@@iz5808 Fully agree and I share your nostalgia too. Personally, I think that everything went to shit with the first iPhone and social media, when everything became an "app". It removed that basic level of gatekeeping we had back then (but maybe we didn't realize it at the time) - owning a PC to get online, which also required a basic level of technical competency and understanding of the _culture_ before you got any leeway in the community. Nowadays online games (but also all online media) are all too homogeneous, filtered and made to be palatable to anyone, losing all substance in the process.

The internet culture of today promoting a lot of FOMO will only degrade our souls over the years.

Took me back to a much simpler time, good job! Though the most unrealistic part about this video is your fast internet speed lol I remember having to wait forever for pages to load, and even longer for things to download. If I was downloading a ~3 GB game, I would leave my computer overnight.

I still remember when CS 1.6 came into existence. I was actually playing in a 1.5 server at that time, the map was de_dust2 and people were talking about 1.5 being the best and being sad about it dying. The server I was on actually crashed (or shut down?) and I was unable to reconnect there, and I somehow thought Valve just shut the entire game down to force people into 1.6. That's when I installed Steam, and I still remember my secret question too.

@ZnifferN 10 ай бұрын

Hmm… But they didnt shut down their won servers for CS before mid 04

@hugoooobr 10 ай бұрын

They 'killed' 1.6 to force people to switch to CSGO, do you remember that? Even with all the hype, way more modern engine, and MONTHS later after it release, CSGO was still behind 1.6 in number of players, so Valve made 1.6 lags/stutter online, mysteriously, out of nowhere. It worked, CSGO got a massive boost on its player base and it took the lead.

For anybody wondering, Xfire was used to chat with other gamers and it would count how many hours you played the games. Eventually steam added those features and xfire vanished. It became a tournament organizer or something e-sports related, I don't remember.

@laeamminlakana-matt5692 9 ай бұрын

Oh man xfire, I remember having to migrate to skype because all my school friends were normies. That thing was so much ahead of it's time. Livestreaming, very light client, skinning, the list goes on and on what that thing could do by like 2k7. Now it's been almost 20 years and most of it's features are on Discord, but that thing is a webclient based on freaking chromium, and eats like a half a gigabyte of memory just for vc while xfire could probably do that part with in a handful of megabytes. ._.
