  🜃 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔘𝔫𝔠𝔩𝔢𝔞𝔫 ⟁ (@TheUnclean) reported 6 minutes ago

  I used that name to on a game called Phantasy Star Online. I plugged a GameShark full of mangled code I copied by hand off some aol site. Big mess but got it to work well enough to kill other players or freeze their game by casting magic in brightly lit areas. Too many pixels? Games crashes, can’t render it. Problem was neither could my game! What to do? Lobby teleporter. Hit em with the grants magic spell just as you also click teleport back to game lobby server place. Ophelia 14. Place to be. I also robbed em all of their weapons. Then later gave them out to noobs for frees. I made a game and laid all my goodies in a pile and said take what you want. Fun stuff!

  Fun fact: My computer was so close to being able to not run the original EQ well that if I had anything else running, it would stutter and freeze up. When I had to use AOL for about 2 months, this was a problem because the AOL client had to be running and made EQ stutter.

  @brian_callaci Never had an AOL email. But others check out ahem. (Also I am older)

  @distributedkv Once compute is available we will leave this current token war setup. This is much like the AOL charge by the minute internet back in the 90's. Then some brave souls that where smaller just said unlimited internet for 20 bucks a month. Then the communication companies offered DSL and access to the service for $50 a month. More than likely we will have some small data centers maybe 10 racks serving a neighborhood. Do you really need 2 trillion perimeters to write posts, summarize emails?

  @AverageJohnEVR @Lightningmaxi Believe me, I’ve tried. I’ve emailed & contacted them a handful of times. It was originally a lost password. Once I found the password, the account was then flagged due to inactivity, and a new IP Login attempt. The only recovery method they provided to me was resetting the password through email or phone number. The issue however, is I used a Skype phone number (dead service) and an @aol email address I no longer have due to inactivity.

  MSP prospecting tip: look for businesses still on Yahoo/AOL email, no SSL on the site, hosting on SquareSpace or Wix. That combination means no in-house IT, no enterprise vendor, zero compliance posture. The cleanest signal you can find.

  @Femalegirl7 Never did VR chat. I've been in other type of chatrooms since AOL was around but not anymore.

  @Based_SpaceGoji Fun fact from the prehistory of the web: In the summer of 1993, when this movie came out, there were no web browsers. (Using AOL was nothing like surfing the web a few years later.) So there was no easy way to go online and look something up, and resolve a disagreement. For example... I knew at least two kids at my high school who were SURE those were pterodactyls flying away at the end. I was like, "Dude, they were pelicans. Why would the heroes be calmly watching and smiling at dinosaurs escaping the f---ing island?" But there was no way to convince them. No way to just go on a website and look it up, and show them. The fact is, before everyone had easy access to the web, life was full of really stupid little disagreements like that, especially when you were a kid. Did the kid from the Life Cereal commercials die from eating pop-rocks with Coke? Did Alfonso Ribeiro break his neck doing a headspin? For me, at least, those pelicans at the end of Jurassic Park were the last example of that particular kind of stupid argument. A year later, Netscape launched. One more thing... I always wondered if Spielberg heard stories of people mistaking those pelicans for pterodactyls, and was annoyed by it. Especially when I saw the sequel, and it ends with what is very, very clearly a pterodactyl spreading its wings in the sunlight. As if Spielberg was saying, "Here, dumbasses, THAT's a pterodactyl."

  I’ve said all along OPEN AI is the weak link in AI. They are the AOL of this tech cycle: First to market and big but garbage.

  While we're bringing back MySpace, let's please bring back AOL/AIM, so that I can ditch all of this crap and go meet back up with the other 38-ish-year-olds with lower back pain. We'll interact and log off for the day, and then log back on after Mom is finished with the phone.
