man lan parties were awesome but I do not miss lugging my 19" crt anywhere. and the reason they existed is now moot - we can lanparty from our homes.
Yea, I spend several hours once a week with my bestfriend a city over. We’d play together in person but mostly we do other stuff that we can’t do online when we hangout in person. That’s not to say that I don’t believe in a certain magic of a LAN party but it’s not like I can’t play 110hrs of Baldur’s Gate unless he’s in same the room.
People act like the only online games are Fortnite and CoD but it’s like, bud, it’s just that your friends are busy and find it hard to set aside time like that.
Oh also many PCs have glass sides and are risky to transport. Ain’t no way I’m risking my Fractal North unless I’m moving. MiniATX though I totally would, all the time.
