So close to my heart this story, the internet cafes, the games of the 2000s and being the best meaning being the best in your school. Greetings from Poland, my Slavic Brother!
You have the yellow blue nationalsocialist flag in your room but rather stay at home playing computer games and making children videos.@@BorschtBrotherhood
As a slav from different country, this video was pretty relatable. I played mostly NES games and went to a gaming club which was in a garage next to our block, if a had money. I got my own pc pretty late around 2007-8. I honestly miss those years.
I see a striking similarity between slavs and Appalachian americans like myself. I grew up in the poorest region in america, i didnt have the best console or pc but i had fun. God bless 🙏 i see this channel going far
Would love a video on STALKER !! As an American, it was my first exposure to the Eastern world and Slavic stuff in general and it fascinated me. I have Slavic heritage (Polish), and it was really really cool when I was so young to be exposed to something soooo radically different than all of the other games at the time. I distinctly remember fallout 3 and STALKER coming out at similar times and I remember comparing the two games atmosphere and general feel. STALKER always felt so much more grounded and gritty. Thanks for the video comrade !
Hella nice content you got here my friend, lovely editing, really good pacing, and you're a really charismatic fella! Hope to see you grow in the future bud, good luck on your way to 100k subscribers, bet you'll get there sooner than you imagine 🔥🔥🔥
I really appreciate it!!! 🥹 The amount of support I got is just insaaaane. But I am a bit sad because my editing programm screwed up rendering a bit :( Thank you very much!
Hahaha, I would say that the 2000s here in Argentina were pretty similar, with a lot of computer clubs or "cybers" as they are called here, and playing a lot of old games even for that time! I know of this because of my older brother, but although I was a little kid at the time, my first console was still an old Ps1, because we werent economically in a really good place to say the least. Really cool video!
That’s awesome! Oh man, I had ps1 in 2008ish…and I was plugging it in through the antenna port because my tv didn’t support RCA. Thank you very much for ur support 😁
I enjoy hearing gaming perspectives from all over. There is far more to it than the narrow cutting edge AAA action adventure stuff. While that can be fun, I'd much rather see the wild side of things, the unlikely routes gaming can take and influence people. Like Brazil supporting Netflix on the PlayStation 2. So yes I would love to hear more about this stuff.
I found this video on my recommended page and I enjoyed it a lot, you've earned a sub! Even though I am Dutch and my situation growing up was a bit different than yours, it did give me a lot of nostalgia to when I was a lot younger. All I essentially had was a crappy tv with a PS2 with Lego StarWars II, which I sold for a Wii with some party games. Some of my fondest gaming memories are playing these games with my friends growing up. I think that's what makes these games so special for us, as they were always played with other people we cared deeply for.
I have to thank papa TH-cam for recommending your channel, can't wait for your channel to get to 1 million subs ❤️ Give us some more stories bro I would love to hear more!
Spoiled westerner here. While I myself never really went to internet cafés, a Polish friend of mine talked about expierences very similar to yours during the 2000's. He also talked about playing CS 1.6, Unreal Tournament, and his personal favorite Quake 3 Arena. I've seen photos of the cafés he frequented, and I do see the appeal of them. He eventually bought his own PC in 2007, and the first game he bought for it was Quake 3. He has much better hardware now obviously, but he still plays Quake 3 and now Quake Live every now and then. Anyways, good video on an interesting subject. Greetings from America! 🇺🇲
Wish more of my Canadian friends played CS as well, but i'll take what I can get. Thanks for the insight into the history and good luck with the channel!
this popped in my recs too, nice video, i enjoyed hearing your story, here in south america many of us had a very similar gaming childhood, ive played counter strike and hldm through cybercafes back in the mid 00s and that was basically my first fps multiplayer experience, those days are long gone and i miss them but we have to be glad that they happened at all and that we got to experience it. wish you good luck with the channel, hope you make it big man
Great video man! we had a similar experience in the philippines, Internet Cafes (our name for Computer Clubs) were super popular growing up, and even though this was in like 2009, people were still hooked on 1.6 (and sometimes source) because the PCs in the Cafes were so low spec that that's all they could run. we also played a ton of WinKawaks, an arcade machine emulator, where people would always get into arguments over their match ups in Marvel VS Capcom 2. those were the days!
Love from france , some of my oldest gaming memories are playing a dubious copy of crazy taxi on a dubious laptop , i also did too play cs in "places" but i played cs:s bc i was born in 06' great work for such a small channel keep it up
I'm from Argentina, we had a similar experience. Here, computer clubs were called "cybers" and I had my first experiences with some great games there. I remember first trying age of empires, quake and counter in one of those places. We had the same problems too LMAO, dudes would come and stand behind you when you were playing counter strike and say "hey can I play a life?". Great video dude, brought back a lot of memories
guy from algeria here we had a really similar start-up to our gaming careers expect that instead of skipping school i go to internet cafe with friends when we had only half a day to study and we install cs 1.6 or cod 2 and play with the max time our money bought us
Honestly this was a really nice video, good job :] This actually reminds me, I still see tons of pretty active european servers on old CS games, guess good games never die :)
Thank you very much 🥹 I am so glad that my vid brings up memories! I will make more cozy/nostalgic stuff. Yeah, the online in North America is not as good :(
I love seeing this kind of story come from people in the Eastern parts of the world, as a Brazillian I had a very lucky childhood when it came to gaming and the consoles I acessed, but was still interested in stuff that came before my time like Mortal Kombat, SNES Mario and most of all Sonic, there's a great video about the relationship between Sonic and Brazil that I think you should watch, it shows that even in the americas people couldn't afford the New Gen consoles and stuck around with older 90s and 80s stuff. Still, my first multiplayer experience ever was playing CS 1.6 in the school computers in 2018 just because the teacher allowed us to, and it was great! I sympathize greatly with the feeling that Lan Houses and Computers Clubs have been lost to time, now only relegated to private sessions between friends, I know there is such a thing as nostalgia and wishful thinking, but I wish we could go back to those simpler times.
very good points made. In Bangladesh we had gaming zones or gaming cafe. They used to have these boxy Arcades with king of fighters, Cadillac and dinosaurs and many others. When they upgraded, they upgraded to PCs and people used to play Fifa, COD 2, CS:S, WoW and all the LAN playables. The gaming cafe's started to fall in 2013. The last one in the area I live in r'n closed during Covid :(
I grew up in poland as a 2007 kid and most of this seems accurate to my early life except we had a family computer which could barely run Minecraft at 20 mods and I mostly played that later got into CS 1.6 when we got a laptop post 2015 we had two laptops and I played 1.6 all night with my brothers fun times
As a Slav as well this was very relatable, awesome video and I remember I had the EXACT same NES console as well at home! We were poor asf and those were basically all we had back in the day apart from computer clubs, although our computer clubs were very far away from our homes so most of our time was spent playing football outside or some other goofy outside activities we came up with as kids. Much love from one slav to another
My slavic brother, i grew up in a harsh environment, times were tough, and those days of closeness with my brother playing any game we could get our hands on, enjoying some then-retro games and unique little games will be some of the best memories. slav life is best life comrade
The gaming timeline here in the Philippines is sort of weird cause back in the 2000's everyone would play a a variety of games like RTS's like Battle Realms, Warcraft 3, FPSs like Quake 3, Special Force, CS 1.6 was really popular, and a ton of MMORPGs (its surprising that it still has a following here). Single player games are also are not popular here, and this era kinda died out when everyone was playing DOTA back in 2009 and then it transitioned to League around 2013 and then it became mobile games around 2016-2017 (the mainstream ones here are the worst). So it's really rare to see someone here branch out to other games or even remember the ones I've mentioned here.
I would love to hear about your gaming experiences, this video was pretty informative and fun, think you could give me your opinion on stalker since its just everyday life for you!
That's really intresting now that i think about it something similar happend in Mexico, where i'm from, a lot of families couldn't afford modern consols (i remember i had a NES too lol), but we didn't had gaming pc clubs, you could only use those to do homework, something for work or to print, but we had arcades everywhere, in most convinience stores, farmacies, supermarkets, and we had places just for arcades. And in the same way you played cs and dota with your friends we played a LOT of fighting games, and i think that's the reason why there's a lot of mexican competitive players and champions of games like KOF. Great video, a video about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. would be really cool, keep up the good work man you got a new subscriber.
I am also ukrainian, I used to have a a potato labtop where i would play tanks or a dora game we had, but my father had cs go and other shooter stored in a secret folder to hide them from us but when they werent home i always played those
I may not be slavic, but us romanians have the same 2000s gaming culture. I'm glad that I spended my whole time in CS 1.6, using mods for the playermodels and having fun on the de/cs/deathrun/deathmatches servers. Much love from Romania!
Privet!! nice video!! I can relate to your experience as well althought I'm not eastern european but argentinian. Lots of people of my age grew up in these places (we called it "cyber") where it was always CS 1.5, 1.6 or HL1 deathmatch. I hope your channel grows my friend, you seem like a carismatic person overall and I look forward to your content! and please do make a video about stalker, probably with information we westerners didn't catch. Cheers!
Я в силу возраста не застал компьютерные клубы, но культура пк гейминга не прошла для меня бесследной. У нас популярны такие игры, которые на западе прошли незаметно Особенно моя дорогая Disciples 2, за пределами России, Беларуси, Украины и Польши о ней не знает вообще никто, а ещё Готика, Корсары, даже Кс 1.6... И чёрт возьми я жалею, что западные геймеры до сих пор упускают эти шикарные игрули из виду( Спасибо тебе за ролик, дружище!
Heroes 3 has always been somewhat in the background for me growing up in Aus, i never really got it. Are there any good vids you'd recommend to explain it?
Сделано качественно, но в видосе ничего толком и нет по содержанию, увы. Можно было бы расширить изначальную мысль и рассказать об развитии игростроя на рынке снг/восточной европы(польские шутеры), рассказать про тот же сталкер, метро, вангеров и тонну всяких вещей. Успехов.
Спасибо огромное за идею! Да я согласен…я честно говоря не ожидал, что именно это видео так взлетит 😳 У меня еще проблемы были с рендером из-за программы. Спасибо огромное за фидбек и ты мне новых идей подкинул!!! Я обязательно буду вносить больше структуры и смысла!
Amazing video man, much love. Here in Brazil was not that different. Im from a small town, spend all may lunch money in a Lan House, thas how is called here. Amazing how poverty makes people from all over the world have childhood so similar. Again, nice video brother 👍
I live in the other side of the world, in Argentina, and it was like that, playing with my friends in cybercafes.. now we play on LAN just to keep that feeling alive, good video!
JEDI ACADEMY ENJOYER??? My first game was Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast and to this day its my favorite game. Academy is after that and yes its beautifull. ( I'm going to make a remaster for both of them :}) Nice video, liked and subscribed. Cheers from Serbia!
I am from Romania and things were obviously pretty similar. I had my first PC in 2004 but I didn't have internet until 2009. My childhood games were GTA Vice City and San Andreas, Star Wars Jedi Academy, Star Wars Battlefront, Medal of Honor Allied Assault, Age of Empires 2, NFS Underground 1, 2 and Most Wanted, Delta Force Black Hawk Down, Unreal 2, C&C Red Alert 2, C&C Renegade, Fable and some others, but the ones mentioned were the ones I remember spending most of my time with and liking the most by far. Of course, I didn't get any of them by buying, back then we were just borrowing pirated CD's and made our own copies. Some of them I got from other kids at school, others I got from my dad who knew people at his workplace that had games, because he was a bit interested in gaming too at the time, but not anymore.
when i was little i remember always seeing older kids playing counter strike and turning their monitors sideways so the other person won't look at your screen to get your posittion. i mostly used to play gta san andreas, those were good times, discord will never beat playing with your friends in the same room.
Brooo i love this video we in the philliphines over here computer clubs are still highly popular with the kiddos cuz of roblox and teenagers with Dota 2 and Valorant it feels wonderful that other countries also have memories with computer clubs
i find this very relatable, in my country these are called "internets" and i could spend hours plaing GTA: san andreas or half life and then try to steal the Direct access but no the game XD, GREAT VIDEO MAN, Saludos!
you got a sub my brother, i was kinda having the same life experience as like you back in my childhood(im talking about my OG 11-12 year-old experience)i was just playing 40 mins on a low end pc like trash spec PCs, but, anyways, i was having tons of amount of fun, you made my day brother, i am gonna be your OG sub.❤👍🤝
Singleplayer games like GTA 3 to San Andreas, Crazy Taxi, Harry Potter, and so on, were also popular choices at the net cafe's in my country. You'd never have enough time to finish the longer ones, you'd just pay to screw around the maps because the games wouldn't even run on your home PC. Good times.... well, except when the trashy people would linger around and bother you. Also, thank you to those classmates who kept paying for my time just so they have a partner to play against :P
For me personally, it was the introduction by my dad of CS:Source and Half Life 2 that made me fall in love with anything source engine made. Which led to Gmod, every other half life games, portal, mods, etc. Now that I'm older, I tried out other games like COD, fortnite, PUBG, etc. and it isn't the same. Feels like crap.
Good stuff my guy I agree with a lot of the experiences you have because I can relate to the poverty im not European myself. I'm filipino and computer shops is what we called them is just places where you bought gaming time as well usually 5 Philippines pesos gives you an hour or half from 14 year old me memory we played same games you played like CS 1.6, Warcraft 3, or dota being the most popular out of most of them this was a fun video be glad to see you make even more even talk more about how CS shaped Eastern European personally CS 1.6 and source shapedy childhood and I still love CS to this day even doe I'm kinda terrible at it hoping to get better
Brother you somehow appeared on my recommendations XD and am getting million subs vibes Keep grinding king and stay blessed luver the content. If you hit million don't forget me XDD
Reaffirming my vague knowledge that most slavic gamers are overwhelming on PC and are mostly stuck to the older stuff, which means i have more in common with them than people from my own county
@@BorschtBrotherhood for sure man, used to think no one played csgo until I went there. i hope you get to check it out and enjoy it some time, cheers man! great videos btw
Slavic акцент шикарный, с произношением как у носителя было бы совсем не то)) Успехов в развитии) бтв интересно что подумают англоговорящие комментаторы которые не понимают зачем я расставил эти скобочки
hello from indonesia!! we also do have alot of computer clubs we call warnet, unfortunately tho i never went to them because i already grew up with my dad's pc and it has old nes games on a nes emulator and of course counter strike ❤ counter strike introduced me into the gaming world and i love it, i still remember struggling to move with wasd while i played with my dad 😂
Yeah, mostly PCs. Also Dendy(bootleg famicom), sometimes Sega (don’t know the model, 8 or 16 bit one) and if you lucky to know a “rich” kid then he might’ve even had a PS1.
Yeah…well, as I said consoles were really expensive and not a lot of households could afford something for their kid just to use as a toy, so mostly we played on PCs that were not meant to be played on. And the thing is I am so used to pc controls now, I just suck playin using a controller
@@BorschtBrotherhood that's kinda weird coz having a pc that you play games on was always seen as the rich and nerdy thing to do when i was growing up.
You poped in my recommendation for some reason, if some day you become millionare remember me Boby Bobert.
I am not gonna lie, this is the best comment I’ve had so far… I will never forget it. Thank you!!!
same came up on my recommendation ur in the algorithm brother !!!
same

I had to play PS2 in 2010's and still, to this day, PS3 is the console that I spent the most less time on and I never even touched a PS1 before.
I enjoy hearing gaming perspectives from all over. There is far more to it than the narrow cutting edge AAA action adventure stuff.

I'm glad this got recommended to me, amazing video! Good luck growing bigger brother!
latinamerican and slav gaming culture from the 2000's seems to be quite similar

started cs 1.6 just a few years ago.

Thank you very much 🥹 I am really happy to hear that
Great video. How come early valve games or source games were popular with Eastern Europe?
It’s probably because they were pirated a lot and they didn’t require “good” hardware to run
@@BorschtBrotherhood that’s cool. Thanks for the answer.

Great video, a video about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. would be really cool, keep up the good work man you got a new subscriber.
Thank you very much ❤️ The video about stalker will be out soon 😁
I am also ukrainian, I used to have a a potato labtop where i would play tanks or a dora game we had, but my father had cs go and other shooter stored in a secret folder to hide them from us but when they werent home i always played those
My brotha ❤️
I can´t wait to see your experience with Stalker Franchise! Loved your content. Cheers from Brazil Slavic brother!
Hello Brazil!!! Thank you very much!
I may not be slavic, but us romanians have the same 2000s gaming culture. I'm glad that I spended my whole time in CS 1.6, using mods for the playermodels and having fun on the de/cs/deathrun/deathmatches servers.
Much love from Romania!
Privet!! nice video!! I can relate to your experience as well althought I'm not eastern european but argentinian. Lots of people of my age grew up in these places (we called it "cyber") where it was always CS 1.5, 1.6 or HL1 deathmatch. I hope your channel grows my friend, you seem like a carismatic person overall and I look forward to your content! and please do make a video about stalker, probably with information we westerners didn't catch. Cheers!
Thank you very much🥹
Я в силу возраста не застал компьютерные клубы, но культура пк гейминга не прошла для меня бесследной. У нас популярны такие игры, которые на западе прошли незаметно Особенно моя дорогая Disciples 2, за пределами России, Беларуси, Украины и Польши о ней не знает вообще никто, а ещё Готика, Корсары, даже Кс 1.6... И чёрт возьми я жалею, что западные геймеры до сих пор упускают эти шикарные игрули из виду(
Спасибо тебе за ролик, дружище!
Yo WTF only 230 sub? This channel is extremely underrated.
Thank u very much!!!
You just described my own childhood (Bulgaria).The feels...the feels!
Cool vid!
When TH-cam work its great.
Thank you very much! ❤️

Heroes 3 has always been somewhat in the background for me growing up in Aus, i never really got it. Are there any good vids you'd recommend to explain it?
I honestly never looked up videos of heroes 3🤔…Maybe I should make one???
CS 1.6, GTA Vice City, Need for speed underground 1 is all I needed back in the day
Erondondoooon
I already love this kind of content
Thank u 🥹
Сделано качественно, но в видосе ничего толком и нет по содержанию, увы. Можно было бы расширить изначальную мысль и рассказать об развитии игростроя на рынке снг/восточной европы(польские шутеры), рассказать про тот же сталкер, метро, вангеров и тонну всяких вещей. Успехов.
Спасибо огромное за идею! Да я согласен…я честно говоря не ожидал, что именно это видео так взлетит 😳 У меня еще проблемы были с рендером из-за программы. Спасибо огромное за фидбек и ты мне новых идей подкинул!!! Я обязательно буду вносить больше структуры и смысла!
Amazing video man, much love. Here in Brazil was not that different. Im from a small town, spend all may lunch money in a Lan House, thas how is called here. Amazing how poverty makes people from all over the world have childhood so similar. Again, nice video brother 👍
I live in the other side of the world, in Argentina, and it was like that, playing with my friends in cybercafes.. now we play on LAN just to keep that feeling alive, good video!
Love your accent man. Would love to see
a video about stalker. keep up the good work!
JEDI ACADEMY ENJOYER??? My first game was Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast and to this day its my favorite game. Academy is after that and yes its beautifull. ( I'm going to make a remaster for both of them :}) Nice video, liked and subscribed.
Cheers from Serbia!
So glad I got recommended this video. I have so much nostalgia for cs1.6 too
I am from Romania and things were obviously pretty similar. I had my first PC in 2004 but I didn't have internet until 2009. My childhood games were GTA Vice City and San Andreas, Star Wars Jedi Academy, Star Wars Battlefront, Medal of Honor Allied Assault, Age of Empires 2, NFS Underground 1, 2 and Most Wanted, Delta Force Black Hawk Down, Unreal 2, C&C Red Alert 2, C&C Renegade, Fable and some others, but the ones mentioned were the ones I remember spending most of my time with and liking the most by far. Of course, I didn't get any of them by buying, back then we were just borrowing pirated CD's and made our own copies. Some of them I got from other kids at school, others I got from my dad who knew people at his workplace that had games, because he was a bit interested in gaming too at the time, but not anymore.
when i was little i remember always seeing older kids playing counter strike and turning their monitors sideways so the other person won't look at your screen to get your posittion. i mostly used to play gta san andreas, those were good times, discord will never beat playing with your friends in the same room.
Oh people were getting in fights becausw of peeking at other’s monitors. GTA SA is legend. One of my favourite games
Very nice Video to watch whilst chilling please more Videos!
Thank you very much ❤️
The most epic video since arab throat singing ngl
Brooo i love this video we in the philliphines over here computer clubs are still highly popular with the kiddos cuz of roblox and teenagers with Dota 2 and Valorant it feels wonderful that other countries also have memories with computer clubs
Interesting story there. I am officially your 100th subscriber. See you around youtube
Yaaaay 😊
Man you took me back in time.
I am really happy to bring up memories for people🥹

Really like this video and channel!
Hope to see you make a video about stalker
Thank you very much! Next one is going to be about stalker! I am working on it 😁
@@BorschtBrotherhood good luck on that 😀👍
i find this very relatable, in my country these are called "internets" and i could spend hours plaing GTA: san andreas or half life and then try to steal the Direct access but no the game XD, GREAT VIDEO MAN, Saludos!
Good video and very interesting learning about how you played games.
Thank you very much! 😊 I promise to make much more interesting videos and much better quality
you got a sub my brother, i was kinda having the same life experience as like you back in my childhood(im talking about my OG 11-12 year-old experience)i was just playing 40 mins on a low end pc like trash spec PCs, but, anyways, i was having tons of amount of fun, you made my day brother, i am gonna be your OG sub.❤👍🤝
Remember me red mask dude
I will never forget you my friend 🫡
Im your 800th sub and im proud
Let’s gooo!!!!🎉🥳🍾
Singleplayer games like GTA 3 to San Andreas, Crazy Taxi, Harry Potter, and so on, were also popular choices at the net cafe's in my country. You'd never have enough time to finish the longer ones, you'd just pay to screw around the maps because the games wouldn't even run on your home PC. Good times.... well, except when the trashy people would linger around and bother you. Also, thank you to those classmates who kept paying for my time just so they have a partner to play against :P
For me personally, it was the introduction by my dad of CS:Source and Half Life 2 that made me fall in love with anything source engine made. Which led to Gmod, every other half life games, portal, mods, etc. Now that I'm older, I tried out other games like COD, fortnite, PUBG, etc. and it isn't the same. Feels like crap.
Source games have soul!
Good stuff my guy I agree with a lot of the experiences you have because I can relate to the poverty im not European myself. I'm filipino and computer shops is what we called them is just places where you bought gaming time as well usually 5 Philippines pesos gives you an hour or half from 14 year old me memory we played same games you played like CS 1.6, Warcraft 3, or dota being the most popular out of most of them this was a fun video be glad to see you make even more even talk more about how CS shaped Eastern European personally CS 1.6 and source shapedy childhood and I still love CS to this day even doe I'm kinda terrible at it hoping to get better
I loved the video im a slav too bulgarian to be exact and now cuz of this vid im gonna redownloas 1.6 again
This guy is going to blow up.
I will try my best my friend!!! Thank you very much 🥹
Brother you somehow appeared on my recommendations XD and am getting million subs vibes
Keep grinding king and stay blessed luver the content. If you hit million don't forget me XDD
Thank you very much!!! 🥹
Вот эта понимаю контент, да еще и мультирегиональный и нашим и вашим - мое почтение, cumрад!
Ахаха спасибо! ❤️🫡
as an Ukrainian, this video just stuck to me, lots of memories! Дякую!
Дякую тобі за підтримку 🥹❤️
Reaffirming my vague knowledge that most slavic gamers are overwhelming on PC and are mostly stuck to the older stuff, which means i have more in common with them than people from my own county
brother what city are you in? theres a nice computer club in toronto with a lot of eastern european regulars
Oh that’s awesome😳 I am a bit far from Toronto… But I should visit the place one day..It would be fun to make a video about it!
@@BorschtBrotherhood for sure man, used to think no one played csgo until I went there. i hope you get to check it out and enjoy it some time, cheers man! great videos btw
The adidas tracksuits made it for me
Slavic акцент шикарный, с произношением как у носителя было бы совсем не то)) Успехов в развитии)
бтв интересно что подумают англоговорящие комментаторы которые не понимают зачем я расставил эти скобочки
Спасибо огромное 😁
very cool
Thank u!!
Thanks for showing nice video editing skills🤠😁
I love sarcasm! Thank u!
Lmfao i love these kind of video, keep it up comrade
Thank you very much!!! 🫡
hello from indonesia!!
we also do have alot of computer clubs we call warnet, unfortunately tho i never went to them because i already grew up with my dad's pc and it has old nes games on a nes emulator and of course counter strike ❤ counter strike introduced me into the gaming world and i love it, i still remember struggling to move with wasd while i played with my dad 😂
Omg…It was the same for me, my brother was making fun of me for playing NFS using arrows…
did you guys play only on PC? my polish friend only talked about the PC games he played when he was young whereas I got to play n64 back in the day.
Yeah, mostly PCs. Also Dendy(bootleg famicom), sometimes Sega (don’t know the model, 8 or 16 bit one) and if you lucky to know a “rich” kid then he might’ve even had a PS1.
Yeah…well, as I said consoles were really expensive and not a lot of households could afford something for their kid just to use as a toy, so mostly we played on PCs that were not meant to be played on. And the thing is I am so used to pc controls now, I just suck playin using a controller
@@BorschtBrotherhood that's kinda weird coz having a pc that you play games on was always seen as the rich and nerdy thing to do when i was growing up.
Already got my sub bratan, saying g’day from Australia. ❤
Thank you very much!!! Hello Australia 🇦🇺❤️
(I would love to visit Australia so bad…but I think a spider would kill me when I poop or something 😳)
Don't forget me after 10 years 😊
I never will!
Idk why this is in my recommendations but hope you go well, your character has a potential 🐈🔥
Thank u very much! 🥹
