What a time to be alive

What a time, but at what cost ?

Interestingly, these Wasm ports are all about nostalgia games.

I sort-of wish we would live in 1998 (when HL1 was released). Less social network, a more creative internet, LAN parties, IRC / ICQ, easier new connections.

We now have tailwind / material UI, a locked-down Apple ecosystem, Photoshop with millions of nagging screens, centralized mega-corps like OpenAI, and the first bits of World War 3 where drones and robotics are made to kill people.

Misses a lot this free internet (though 1 USD / minute)
