Its the same as "yeah people didn't really use the internet till 2011"

I've heard this the last ten years, they truly believe when they started using the internet in middle school is when everyone did. I was getting aol floppy disks from blockbuster in like 1996.

They really are unimaginably ignorant and deluded. And their inability to use the greatest repository of knowledge in history to learn anything other than how to ape a stupid dance ensures that will never change.
Not sure if Peterson is a great topic for a thread but certainly better than much of the shit in the catalog right now. Unfortunately OP has derailed his own thread from the get go with that oh so zoomer obsession of knowing wrong things.

>singlehandedly popularized lovecraft
Sandy won't even tell you that, he was a significant driving force in popularizing Lovecraft in the modern age (via things like Call Of Cthulhu), but he was not alone.

>actually did all the work in doom 1 and 2
That's about as accurate as saying Romero did. He did a lot of work, about half of all the levels in Doom and Doom 2, and contributed various ideas and concepts, but he didn't do the graphics, he didn't do the music and sound, he didn't do the code.

>>7414239
I don't think that's a zoomer thing. It's more of a "much of the world outside of the US didn't get widespread internet access until surprisingly recently in modern history" thing.

The first time I went online was in the mid 90s in rural England. It was agonisingly slow and expensive but it was there.

>>7414191
Yep. Another stupid zoomer cunt.

>>7414829
You've literally got it ass backwards. It was much of the world inside the US that was a technological backwater for much for the 90's and 00's. But that's no excuse for kids being ignorant. Just because no one in your trailer park had broadband in 2000 doesn't mean you shouldn't be aware that hundreds of millions of other people outside did. The only valid excuse is if you were a baby or not even born then, which is the case in most instances. In that case you should refrain from parroting bullshit and listen to what your elders have to say. But of course that's rarely how it plays out.

>>7413726
Sandy is fucking based. He also shit on Ken's Labyrinth (Ken Silverman's game, the creator of the Build Engine that powers Duke/Blood/Shadow Warrior etc) in a review in Dungeon magazine.

>>7414191
Sandy created the Call of Cthulu tabletop RPG in 1981, how the fuck does that make someone a zoomer? It arguably did popularize Lovecraft to a wider audience and so did Sandy's inclusion of Lovecraftian lore in Quake.

>Plagiarized the D&D monster guide
>Popularized one of the sacred books of the nerds

That's a joke, right?

Kevin Cloud chose the art to lift for the Cacodemon. Sandy just named them.

>>7415330
Sandy created the Call of Cthulu game for Chaosium, he's allowed to use shit from D&D or Shub-Niggurath in Quake

I know you're the Assembly Code larper you fucking faggot. Going to start calling people Dunning Krugers too?

Micropose was fucking great and I'm glad it's back. I hope Sandy gets more involved with those guys.

Lovecraft fucking sucks

No, there were definitely plenty of non-American regions that didn't get widespread internet access until surprisingly late in modern history.
I personally had dial-up internet access relatively early (though not the earliest time possible) during the 90s in the US, but some other regions around the world not getting widespread access until much later is well documented publicly available information you can look up. I first heard about it when someone mentioned not having internet access until 2008 which would be when the second Nolan Batman movie (the one with Heath Ledger) was in theaters lol. Blew my mind a bit but I looked it up and most of the earlier internet access having people were in the US at first.
>>7414834
To clarify I definitely didn't mean every non-American in the world had no internet access until recently.

>>7416026
No, the US had near widespread shit internet for much for the 90's and early 00's.and nearly every industrialized country had faster and better coverage. You prove this with your belief that being on dialup in the 90's is early. I was on broadband in the 90's as were millions of others. This is exactly why I said that people who didn't have broadband access in their trailer park in the 90s shouldn't talk about shit they don't know about.

>>7416309
sometimes /pol/ is right

>>7416309
I wasn't in a trailer park. I was in northern New Jersey (Bergen county) if you want to look it up) which was pretty affluent at the time being a suburban area where New York commuters lived. The real numbers are here:

>your belief that being on dialup in the 90's is early
It's not like a lot of people had dial-up in the 80s so I don't know why you're trying to make that a point here. I also didn't say I was still on dial-up the entire decade, just that we had early dial-up when it was still relatively early.

>>7416318
more than sometimes, it's so right it drives international govts to hire disinformation agents just to cross-talk and shitpost with each other, right now I'm watching the UK's 77th regiment shitpost interweaved with China's 50 cent'rs, you wouldn't need to pollute a well so badly if that well was dry.

>you wouldn't need to pollute a well so badly if that well was dry.

Thats a good saying, I always thought being a shill is the perfect job to give to useless people in my generation

Notice the massive dip in quality since then.

You have no idea what it was like outside the US
