I still recall how, as a fresh-faced, young gamer just getting into the newfangled realm of online multiplayer, I got absolutely got in Everquest when somebody told me you could get a numeric representation of your current experience points by typing "/ex".

It was actually short for "/exit". And in those days, it took a loooooooooooooooooong time to relaunch the game and get logged back in. Learned a valuable lesson about human nature that day. It has served me well.

The first time I was hit with something like this, I was playing Doom and my dad said if I pressed CTRL+ALT+DELETE, I could access the cheats.

This was back when it didn't come up with the little prompt and some options, that command straight up reset the PC.

Damn, that looks like a legit old man Linus.

LOL OP thinks kids still know how to use computers with physical keyboards.

Gen Z can barely operate them, and Gen Alpha can't even read, let alone figure out a desktop PC; imagine how stupid kids in the 2070s are going to be.

At work, I use a databank interface that's so old, Alt+F4 is save changes. Guess it's from before the standard arose

a smaller demographic be like “tf kinda nonsensical bugshit r u talkin bout bro alt+f4 lol its cmd+q you silly fuck lol alt f4 deez nuts in ur mom u daft cunt”

Something something “hunter2”

This guy has a lot of different doors.

Why'd you ask then grandpa
