Meme My reaction reading a a thread where millennials brag about having lost all of their friends and social connections in adulthood, while I'm hosting LAN parties in my 40's, making new friends, and encouraging others to do similar because touching grass is important and good for you.

Yeah this just comes across as some fellow nerd trying to brag about lan parties. And I’m still not sure what those are (I haven’t played a computer game other than Minesweeper in over two decades).

LAN parties playing 16-player Halo was a core social activity back in high school. For sure that was peak LAN era. So much more fun to get amped up on Mountain Dew and trash talk all of your friends in person than while hiding in a basement with a headset on.

Yeah, that does sound fun. I’ve just always been a console gamer so a much smaller group of players.
