The year is 2006
It's saturday
No one has smartphones
You just came home from playing outside with your friends
You turn on your Athlon PC
Your tube monitor displays your Windows XP desktop
You open steam and it's the army green flat layout
You open HL2 and lose yourself in the game and nothing else matters
The year is 2024
You feel a constant sense of dread because you're old and it feels like you've accomplished nothing in life
The little you managed to save you are forced to invest in a stock market that's clearly too expensive but there are no other options
You waste your days lurking /smg/ and trying another game for 30 minutes before dropping it because the magic is gone
You work a pointless WFH job and go days on end without talking to anyone
Somehow you're doing better than your peers but you want to kys every day
