To this day, I still have exact intuition for the time span between "Fire in the hole!" and "Boom".

Oh my god i didn’t think I’d be taking this nostalgia pill today but I’m so glad I did. This show was absolutely foundational to my high school experience haha. StarCraft, CnC, and CS were pretty much my entire life in 2008-2010. What a blast of a time on the internet. Designing maps in StarCraft’s map editor is half the reason I even got into programming in the first place.

Not trying to convert anyone, but changing keybindings is pretty easy in almost any unix window manager and/or desktop environment I've ever tried.

I haven't looked in a while but I could never find an easy way to mimic macOS's cmd/ctrl behavior in Linux. Being able to cmd+c to copy from a terminal window comes in clutch.

With tmux-yank this isn't a problem.

I remember playing one of the early CS betas as a Half-life mod in ~1999. It was such a huge leap in gameplay and style from anything else out there. Most FPSs up to this point were SciFi based, guns like the BFG and plasma guns. Counterstrike's focus on realism really altered how you connected with the game. Columbine had happened very recently and was still very much in the zeitgeist. There was a very real cultural…

Counter-terrorist win. ):

> My friends and I would build CounterStrike maps that were the layout of our highschool and would then run around and shoot each other. There was a small netcafe nearby when I was young that had a good quality T1 connection and hosted their own CS servers. Some of the players got together and actually mapped out the entire netcafe store itself and some of the surrounding area to create a "de_" style map. This meant…

> a good quality T1 Oh man, I remember the good ol' days, when a 1.5 Mbps connection was unthinkably fast. I imagined only God herself had a T3.

I finagled 512kbps SDSL from a startup telco for $70/month in 1998.

I remember the days when I tried to play Quake on my 28.8 modem over the net pre-Quakeworld. Almost made me swear online multiplayer off for life.

You should've tried Doom over dialup :)

It's all about Doom over null modem.

Met what ended up being a great friend in real life somewhere in some random IRC room looking for a 5th member to join my friend's group He had a special CRT monitor to get the best refresh rate to be as competitive as possible for the game Feels like a lifetime ago

Was scouring ebay back in the day for those samsung CRT monitors that could get 100+hz on 800x640 resolution so I can frag like a pro gamer :D

Counter-argument, before CS (CounterStrike) the predecessor we played a ton of was multiplayer Goldeneye 64. The guns weren’t super realistic, but it also wasn’t a giant leap to CS. The big thing with CS was the online multiplayer with low lag, and it was popular enough that you didn’t have to wait long to join a room - which was a whole lot different than having friends over and playing couch multiplayer.
