I used to like multiplayer back when there was a larger community element. Now no one uses their mic and the lobby changes every match so I'm basically just playing against bots anyway.

Reject modernity, embrace tradition - we'll still be there for you in the arena and boomer shooter crowd, and of course, various Counter-Strike and Team Fortress 2 lobbies.

Come prepared.

I've been playing a lot of Red Alert 2 lately which has similar vibes as well

There is something beautiful in TF2 kicking off the whole cosmetic microtransactions/lootbox industry, then sitting back and continuing to be a fun community game for the next decade.

This hits hard. I still remember joining the same 3 cs servers and befriending the people there. Good times.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Back when servers were hosted and you had a little community of maybe 200 people who would cycle in and out.

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

I met some lifelong friends in those servers.

A few friends and I are planning a 90s lan. Simple rules like no games published after 2001-08-23, no internet, only self-hosted servers, and all shit talking must be out loud. Also shit talking must be kid safe since we're all old and have kids old enough to be competent but young enough we don't want to teach them the true art of shit talking.

My kids are teenagers now. Teaching them the true art of shit-talking has been a pleasure.

My youngest kicking my ass at every fucking game we play has not been.

"but daaad, we just want to chill, can't we play and not be toxic to others?"

This sounds like an insane amount of fun. The only thing more fun than a LAN as a kid, is a LAN when you're 40 and can afford top tier snacks. And you have kids to be waiters

And you might actually be playing against bots, depending on the game.
