De game-jaren

Retro is in zeggen ze … wel ik denk dat ik op het vlak van games gewoon in het verleden ben blijven steken. Ergens rond de eerste jaren dat ik een pc had, 1997 moet dat ongeveer zijn. Deze week kocht ik nog een game van dat gezegende jaar Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Jaja, de eerste, in 1997 had ik hem ook al, maar slechts de gekopieerde versie en die is dan es verloren geraakt. Toen ik hem deze week aan 2 euro in de Mediamarkt zag liggen brak mijn hart en nam ik heb mee en speel nu (toegegeven deels uit sentiment) iedere avond een nieuw level. Ik heb eigenlijk nooit de aanleg gehad om een gamer te zijn. In mijn eerste lic zat ik vaak soms uren met mijn maat achter zijne PC terwijl hij Diablo 2 speelde. Dat was best wel boeiend en ik gaf hem steeds tactische bijsturingen en opmerkingen, maar zelf spelen no way.

Het meeste van pc’s heb ik geleerd door te kijken. We gaan bijna 20 jaar terug in de tijd toen ik als 6-jarige vol verwondering stond te kijken naar die Commodore van mijn nonkel waar mijn neven Pacman, Ski or Die of Winter Games op speelden. Aaaah de tijd van de ‘echte’ 5,25″ floppy’s … Het moet 1994 geweest zijn toen ze hun Pentium kochten en we een stap verder zetten in de gamer-geschiedenis. Het eerste spel dat erop stond was Wolfenstein 3D, nog steeds één van mijn favorieten … fuck grafics, dit is gewoon een schitterend spel nah. Daarop volgde het iets mindere Blake Stone en nog van 3D Realms/Apogee verscheen ook Raptor. Dan kwam Prince of Persia, dat vond ik al iets moeilijker :p niets voor mij dus. En toen ging mijn wereld open: eerst met Dune 2 en dan met de eerste Command & Concquer (GDI en Brotherhood of NOD). Real time strategy bleek mijn ding te zijn en ik was dagen niet weg te slaan van mijn nonkel zijn pc, sommige dagen was ik er meer mee bezig dan mijn neven zelf. Dat waren ook de dagen wanneer ik mij amuseerde met het eerste en enige voetbalspel dat niet te moeilijk en te realistisch was voor mij: Fifa 94, het spel van de oneindige ommehaals en het 20 maal scoren door voor de keeper te staan. En toen brak de zon door de wolken en kocht ons vader een eigen pc. De eerste spellen die ik erop speelde waren Fury3x en het eindeloos boeiender Terminal Velocity. Het waren de jaren van schitterende games: 1996: Duke Nukem 3D (voor mij en een deel van mijn vrienden nog steeds een tijdloze first person shooter), Transport Tycoon, Civilization II (AoE kon hier gewoon nooit aan tippen) * 1997: C&C: Red Alert, Need for Speed 2 en Carmageddon * om in 1998 af te sluiten met Dune 2000 en nog een laatste stuiptrekking een beetje later met Starcraft. En ze mogen nu nog komen zeveren over hun Halo’s en Medal of Honor’s, mij kan het allemaal niet schelen … ik ben blijven steken in het midden van de jaren ’90, toen de games nog echte arcade waren en niet zo realistisch mogelijk wilden zijn. De games in de post vermeld zijn de enige die ik langer dan een uur heb gespeeld en die ik nog altijd hier en daar eens durf bovenhalen … noem het oudbolligheid, ik noem het nostalgie.

  2. Reading this triggered a small change in how I think about the topic going forward, and a stop at raviontrust reinforced that subtle shift, the rare content that actually moves my thinking rather than just confirming or filling it is the kind I most value and this site is providing that kind of impact today.

  3. Well done, the writing is professional without being stiff, and the topic is treated with care, and a look at vixarotrustco reflected that approach, the kind of site I would point a colleague to if they asked for a reliable starting point on this topic in the future without any hesitation at all.

  4. If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at plivoxbonding reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.

  6. Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after rixarocapital I had even more to chew on, the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.

  7. Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at crownking88 continued that good feeling, content that leaves you better than it found you is rare and worth bookmarking when you stumble across it for the first time today or any other day really.

  8. Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at brixeltrustco suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.

  9. Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at trustedcommercialbonds suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.

  10. Продолжительное употребление алкоголя вызывает опасные последствия для здоровья из-за сильной алкогольной интоксикации, а также наносит вред многим другим факторам, влияющим на качество жизни. Запой разрушает работу внутренних органов, приводит к обезвоживанию, нарушению солевого баланса, повышению давления, сбоям сердечно-сосудистой системы, обострению хронических заболеваний, депрессии, страху, бессоннице и неадекватному поведению. Чем дольше больной продолжает пить, тем больше токсинов накапливается в крови, тем тяжелее проходит процесс выхода из запойного состояния и тем выше вероятность инфаркта, инсульта, психоза, делирия, судорожных припадков и других тяжелых последствий.

  13. Now considering whether the post would translate well into a different form, and a look at motocitee suggested similar versatility, content that could move into other media without losing its substance is content that has been built around ideas rather than around format and this site reads as idea first throughout posts.

  14. Took a quick scan first and then went back to read properly because the post deserved it, and a stop at adawebcreative kept me reading carefully too, the kind of writing that earns a slower second pass rather than getting skimmed and forgotten is something I value highly when I happen to find it.

  16. Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at rixarotrustco continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.

  17. Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at flexibledigitalshopping maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.

  18. Will share this on a forum I am part of where it will be appreciated by others working in the same area, and a look at successmarketboutique suggests there is more here worth passing along too, definitely a generous resource that deserves a wider audience than it probably has today across the open internet.

  19. Liked how the writer used real examples instead of theoretical ones to make the points stick, and a stop at zurix added even more concrete examples, this is the kind of practical approach that respects readers who actually want to apply what they learn rather than just nodding along passively without doing anything useful.

  20. Just wanted to say this was useful and leave a small note of thanks, and a quick visit to repealthecap earned a similar nod from me, the small acknowledgements add up over time and represent the real economy of trust that good content runs on across the open and increasingly fragmented modern internet.

  22. The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at answermodern kept that approachable expertise going, finding the right register for technical content is hard but this site has clearly figured out how to sound knowledgeable without slipping into that distant lecturing tone that loses readers in droves every time.

  23. Just wanted to say this was useful and leave a small note of thanks, and a quick visit to quvexatrustco earned a similar nod from me, the small acknowledgements add up over time and represent the real economy of trust that good content runs on across the open and increasingly fragmented modern internet.

  24. Now I want to find more sites like this but I suspect they are rare, and a look at vixaropoint extended that thought, the few sites that meet this quality bar are precious specifically because they are rare and finding others like them is one of the ongoing projects of careful internet curation across the years.

  29. Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at collaborativegrowthnetwork kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.

  30. Now recognising that this site has earned a place in the small group of resources I treat as authoritative, and a stop at nolarocore confirmed that placement, the difference between resources I trust and resources I just consume is real and this site has clearly moved into the trusted category through consistent quality over time.

  31. My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at nohonabe confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.

  32. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at mivarobase only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.

  33. A piece that handled the topic with appropriate weight without becoming portentous, and a look at trivoxline continued that calibrated seriousness, content that takes itself seriously without becoming pompous is something this site has clearly figured out and the balance shows up in every piece I have read across multiple sessions now.

  34. A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at vipelitejerseys continued that organising effect, content that imposes useful structure on messy subjects is doing genuine intellectual work and this site is providing that organisational function across multiple posts I have read recently here.

  35. Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at brixelbondgroup reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.

  36. A thoughtful piece that did not strain to be thoughtful, and a look at xeviroline continued that effortless quality, when thinking shows up in writing without the writer drawing attention to it you know you are reading something genuinely considered rather than something performing the appearance of consideration which is also common online.

  37. Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at mivaroline reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.

  38. Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at theblackcrowesmobile prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.

  39. Now recognising the post as a rare example of careful writing on a topic that mostly receives careless treatment, and a stop at discoverprofessionalinsights extended that contrast with the average elsewhere, content that highlights how much the average is settling for low quality is content that has both internal merit and external value as a benchmark.

  40. Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at themetalsuckfest produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.

  41. Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at nixaroholdings extended that anticipation across the broader site, finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.

  42. Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at ravioncapital did the same, the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.

  44. Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at musionet kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.
