Is it that or is it how lovely cameras were? You can always tell an early 2000s picture because of how loving muddy and dreary looking it is.


Didn't waffleimages get all backed up before it died? Someones gotta have a dump of that somewhere, still.

yeah he's fine it's mostly the fit and the astonishing computer setups in some of these pics, like, people putting monitors on top of dressers

we did what we had to do

all of those look exactly like the old LAN parties I would go to, and gently caress their little tiny apartments got hot considering all of us had enormous 20" CRTs

losing feeling in parts of my body from having to set my PC up on my friend's floor since they ran out of tables and just spending hours down there playing half life on the LAN

I wonder what happened to them all, all the goons from forever ago.

I ran into a guy who I knew from some ancient SA drama online a couple years back. I just asked "hey you that guy soandso?" and we had a normal conversation, he said he was only like 14 then and he was really dumb, etc. Now he's a normal guy as far as I can tell. It's a boring story. But, I think (hope?) that that's what happened to most of the most ridiculous people on SA.

Though some of them I'm thinking it's a 50/50 shot they're still alive at best.
