computers are a fad imo

viscous nuisance @Tom@slime.global

@jk yeah, idk if this "internet" will catch on either

chalk bones @tomharris

@Tom @jk I was rereading a well-regarded critical literary essay from the mid 90s the other day and came across the immortal line "it's difficult to tell if the Internet is legitimately big news."

josef @jk

@tomharris @Tom the internet is good but quite expensive, so i can only use it for an hour or two per day. the rest of the time i have to refer to one of my many CD-ROM encyclopedias

@jk @Tom I never got past the training areas on runescape because mum wouldn't let me use the dial-up for more than 45mins at a time

@tomharris @Tom SAME !!!!

@tomharris @Tom @jk doesn't help that the tutorial is like an hour and a half of boring guff

while I was there there were numerous attempts to redesign it all of which initially focused on "make it less long and boring" and ended up bloating comically out of proportion

chalk bones @tomharris

@theoutrider @jk @Tom I don't know if it's the same tutorial they had in 2002. Probably though.

moomin on main @theoutrider

@tomharris @Tom @jk yeah, they didn't get a proper rework out the gate until like 2010

which was still comically overcomplicated and an hour+ long but a lot more tolerable because it just lets you walk away and do something else rather than gating everything
