Kyle's first trip to Growtherton, he finally got to hang out with some friends me made online via @kylecrusoe-captions, and stopped in for a LAN party. He picked just the right time to update his stream.

I keep seeing these nostalgia posts, and I think we need to turn this feeling into action.

Nostalgia, fauxstalgia, etc, etc ...

I am begging people to realize that you could have this experience!

Why don't we come up with emulation images for ultra-cheap 4-player games that work on cheap TV's? Just like neocities just did what geocities did, but in a 2020's way.

We could explain how to invite people over. Phones go in a Faraday bag, and you just eat shitty pizza and drink store-brand soda until the wee hours.

Lan parties, gaming nights, etc ... the only thing missing is the people, and I think people want it, we just don't have a name for it, or a simple process to help people set up.

The technology is all still there. Better, cheaper, more accessible. Cheap pizza and store brand soda are still cheap.

How do we teach a generation to throw, and attend, basement lan parties?
