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.

  5. Now understanding why someone recommended this site to me a while back, and a stop at pcpartspavilion explained the recommendation, sometimes recommendations make sense only after experience and this site has finally clicked into place as the kind of resource I now understand was being recommended for sound editorial reasons by my friend.

  6. Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at packandpost earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.

  7. Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at basketberry fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.

  8. Now thinking I want more sites built on this kind of editorial foundation, and a stop at pcpartspal extended that wish into a broader hope, sites built on substance and care rather than on metrics and growth are the kind of sites I want to see more of and this one is a small example worth supporting.

  9. Glad I gave this a chance instead of bouncing on the headline, and after westvendor I was certain I had made the right call, snap judgements based on titles miss a lot of good content and this is a reminder to slow down and check things out before scrolling past in a hurry.

  12. Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at parcelpilot extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.

  19. Looking back on this reading session it stands as one of the better ones recently, and a look at maplepick extended that ranking, the informal ranking of reading sessions against each other is something I do mentally and this session ranks high largely because of this site and a couple of related pages here.

  20. Reading this slowly to give it the attention it deserved, and a stop at microbrandmagnet earned the same slow read, choosing to read slowly is a small act of respect for content quality and very few sites earn that respect from me but this one did so without any explicit ask which is the cleanest way.

  21. A piece that did not require external context to follow, and a look at terracrate maintained the same self contained quality, content that stands alone without forcing readers to chase prerequisites is more accessible and this site has clearly thought about how each piece can serve a fresh visitor rather than only existing members.

  22. Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at ivoryaisle earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.

  23. Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at irvanta continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.

  24. Quietly impressive in a way that does not announce itself, and a stop at cindora extended that quiet impressiveness, the kind of quality that emerges through sustained attention rather than first impressions is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has been earning that deeper trust across multiple sessions over time consistently.

  25. A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at meridianbasket maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.

  26. Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at seavendoroutlet reinforced that defence list, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.

  27. Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at speedstream adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.

  29. Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at hollowcart kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.

  30. Now considering whether the post would translate well into a different form, and a look at gladevendor 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.

  32. I appreciate the clarity here, everything is explained in simple terms without unnecessary detail, and after a quick stop at domainward the points came together nicely for me, the writing keeps things straightforward and respects the reader from start to finish without ever talking down to anyone.
