I didn't have a really good PC of my own until I built my first gaming PC in 2008. I have really fond memories of those first years playing games on it. I built it specifically to play Team Fortress 2. I played through Oblivion, Devil May Cry 4.and tons of other games. I was blown away by how good stuff looked. That was the turning point when I became a PC gamer.

Prior to that, I was using Pentium 3-equivalent PC's (ATHLON and VIA) that couldn't really play high-end games at all. I was mainly a console gamer during the 90's and 2000's, just about everybody I knew was a console gamer.

Out of nostalgia me and my bros played on a thirdie server for two months straight in 2023 or so. It was modeled after gta online so had tangible "progress". The data center which housed the server (among lots of actually important shit) burned down and when they got a backup running they handed out a bunch of bonuses. Good times, and it was a reminder of how fragile this thing of ours really is

So why did the internet flip their shit over this being shut down? Zoomers sure, it makes sense for them but I remember some people who in their 30s being upset over this game being shut down for some fucking reason. Was it a meme or was it geniune?

KOTOR 1&2. They just have an atmosphere to them that I can't articulate, and I don't whatever they had will ever be successfully replicated again (although I also loved Mass Effect 1, which was just Great Value brand KOTOR, and I was fine with that).

UO caused MMORPG to be a household abbreviation. There were international articles published about a new "virtual world". It single-handedly created the 90s MMO-hype (on top of years of text-only MUDs).

Blizzard saw that hype, took it all for themselves, blew everyone away for a while and then quietly killed the entire genre.

I bought that new back in the day and I tried to like it, I really tried. I like the art style, I like isometric games, I like vaguely RPG like action games, but this... god you need infinite patience. The controls could only be imagined by a person who had video games described to them via. 10 rounds of machine translation, you get so very easily stunlocked by every enemy, the retry points always seem to be WAY back before the last really annoying section rather than immediately after and more often than not they try to convey you shouldn't be in a place by putting an enemy that's basically impossible to avoid, and then not 5 mins later they pull the same shit except THIS time you're just expected to thread the fucking needle and just KNOW that this time we didn't mean to make a roadblock, we are just asshole french and did it anyway through malice and incompetence.
What's even more hilarious is they remade it recently and somehow made it even worse.

Metal Gear Solid 1 being the first time it felt like I was playing something that felt like being in a movie.
Warcraft 3 custom maps goofing around and having a near-endless amount of new experiences within the same game.
CS 1.6 for the competitive scene.
World of Warcraft for the social aspect and "this feels like a real and breathing virtual world".
