Great read. Even if local LAN parties and dingy gaming cafes weren’t welcoming to me (gurlz don’t play lol, etc.), it’s fascinating to reflect how the rampant piracy in the 90-00’s here shaped gaming canons and the subsequent local gamedev industry.

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi... AKA, why LAN Houses, PokéTibia & Bomba Patch rule.

There’s winning the GOTY and then there’s me daydreaming about wearing that Astrobot dress as I run carefree through the meadows, jumping over any rocks in the way of my cozy existence
