I want to somehow go back to 1998 and find young me when I still believed the internet and computers would truly make us love each other more and break down national divides and bring a greater peace to the whole world and i want to punch him square in the mouth.
Also i think this might be my last Christmas. Like I will still be around but Christmas as we grow up with is no longer going to be a thing.
If it makes you feel better, my husband and I met in an online game (while we lived across international borders,) fell in love, and began dating. The game also has VR, and we explored massive chunks of the Milky Way Galaxy over many months during the pandemic :)
That is nice to hear, I also found my wife online dating site before they went to crap and actually wanted you to find a healthy relationship instead of keeping you on the dating treadmill and thus a customer.
It’s not young-you’s fault, they had us all hooked on that potential. And it 100% had and still has that potential, it’s just that the wrong people are calling the shots.
Tell you what, I’ll go back with you and we can punch the ones who ruined the internet!
I wholeheartedly believe nothing is lost yet! We’re still around, we’re still full-on “seditious” (from the perspective of Big Bucks McOildrill), we can do this!
But, yes, we do need an Underground Railroad type network for now…

Same.
I mean Ive already given myself a black eye before, but I’d also love to go back and kick my own ass for not being a better person. Future me was never going to change anything Asafum, you dumb fuck. Now it’s just 1000x harder and 2 decades down the drain.

We’re married now!
Elite: Dangerous?
Yep, Elite!
Or No Man’s Sky?

Which VR game is this? Just got a headset and I love space games!
It’s Elite Dangerous! Play pancake mode until you get the hang of it. Once you have some experience, strap in-it’s a ton of fun!

Yeah I mean the web is lost but the tildeverse is still a thing so that’s something but it’s not going to change the world only become the resistance.
Tildeverse?

Don’t blame the internet for the unjust hierarchy that permeates every facet of human civilization. It is a tool, nothing more.
Same.

Why do you feel you wasted 2 decades? Not enough personal progress? We all do what we can in life.
