I still recall how, as a fresh-faced, young gamer just getting into the newfangled realm of online multiplayer, I got absolutely got in Everquest when somebody told me you could get a numeric representation of your current experience points by typing "/ex".

It was actually short for "/exit". And in those days, it took a loooooooooooooooooong time to relaunch the game and get logged back in. Learned a valuable lesson about human nature that day. It has served me well.

I got people with ‘/qui gon jinn’ in Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy.

It runs ln the Quake 3 engine, so it would just ignore everything after the space and auto complete the closest command, which was ‘/quit’ which instantly quit the game.

I got so many people because it seems like a plausible cheat code in a Star Wars game.

‘/disco’ to dance got a lot of people too.

Good times.

‘Type disco into console for lights’ for CS

It is an initiation we all must pass through. Nothing delights me more than delivering that initiation to others.

Unfortunately, this was before xkcd. If I'd known about the "lucky 10,000", I might have been more philosophical about it at the time.

Man, I really miss EverQuest. Wish I could go back to my teens and relive those days.

First week playing WoW and some goober told me to try the camp emote. /camp quits the game and I quickly learned my lesson. Wasn't even mad.

I still regularly play the same character I started with nearly 26 years later. I still love that game.

Damn, that looks like a legit old man Linus.

Nope: Gary Oldman, master of disguise, strikes again!

I thought it was a aged picture of him at first

[-] sleep_deprived@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

It is, though, isn't it? That's exactly his stream setup at his old house, down to the Sennheiser headphones with a mod mic

[-] coaxil@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Oh man, you're right,

So aged Linus pic???

LOL OP thinks kids still know how to use computers with physical keyboards.

Gen Z can barely operate them, and Gen Alpha can't even read, let alone figure out a desktop PC; imagine how stupid kids in the 2070s are going to be.

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

I remember Thor from PirateSoftware talking about that ... a lot of kids only know touchscreens.

At work, I use a databank interface that's so old, Alt+F4 is save changes. Guess it's from before the standard arose

[-] don@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

a smaller demographic be like “tf kinda nonsensical bugshit r u talkin bout bro alt+f4 lol its cmd+q you silly fuck lol alt f4 deez nuts in ur mom u daft cunt”

[-] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

There's a reason it's a small demographic.

[-] don@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

Yes, it’s because there are fewer people that are familiar with the cmd+q shortcut than there are those familiar with alt+f4. It’s possible that even fewer still have ever even used QNX Neutrino, back when it fit on a standard 1.44 3.5, let alone are even familiar at all with an RTOS.

So yes, your point stands.

[-] RagnarokOnline@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

Something something “hunter2”

[-] orris@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

What is something something “*******”

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago
