Oh, mine was before dreamcast. 95-96, a windows pc with dialup. Lol its weird to think about how different it was. Waiting forever for a page to load. Porn was pics or stories, everything else took too long to load.

  Remember the onslaught of AOL discs in the mail?!!! My lord they pushed hard! You've got mail....LOL!!! My mom still has an AOL email address. Above I said my first internet experience was on Dreamcast and it was as in my first Personal at home. That same year a few months later we bought a Dell. That was 25 years ago...lol we've been together for 30 years now, married for 25! were both 53yrs young! Absolutely love our Spectrum 400Mbs download speeds with no data limit, I just look away when paying the bill. IT IS WHAT IT IS. 65.99 a month is steep but I ain't going back that's for sure!

I’ll be 53 in February. I thought that I was the oldest person here, but you got me beat by a bit.

No since in hiding it, Been gaming now {over} 40 years. We have 5 kids {Had, we lost our oldest to brain cancer} & 10 grandkids. Everyone loved Grandpa's gameroom pre fire! It's cool to have lived the complete evolution for the most part. From Lode runner / chop lifter on an Apple 2e in our garage, Commodore 64, Colecovision to Intellivision & Atari 2600. Saddest part is I still had all my consoles in working order some new in boxes never opened like Dreamcasts, Gamecube, Sega CD, &  Genisis, PS1-3 [I had backups...lol] but the fire took all of that. I went from owning over 100 consoles and handhelds to now just PS4pro, PS5, Xbox 1X, Xbox SeriesX, 3DSXl, PSP Vita, Switch and a Steamdeck. From a garage full to just one very large box :Dunno:

 

Sorry about derailing Battle Orges, it's just what I do. Back to BO folks I'm good now....lol

I’ve been gaming for over 40 years now as well, I started when I was about 10 with Pong and Atari 2600 shortly after and grew up in the arcades. I have owned just about every game console and handheld system over the years with a lot of games for each, but foolishly sold them or traded them in and all of their games when the next new one came out. I currently only own an Xbox 360 and PS4. I’m sorry to hear that you lost your oldest child, and had a house fire that took your gaming collection. :(

I stayed up a little later last night to help my wife with some work, ended up trying out Celeste. There’s a game that plays well, looks interesting and I know I’ll never finish.

 

If we have the same routine tonight, it’ll either be more Fire Emblem, or like @TheLeon, I’ll try out a few of the PS+ games I’ve got (Little Nightmares, Inside and…something else).

Played some Unreal Tournament (UT99) for the first time in years. There's a fan patch and you can download 4K textures (like the old S3TC/DXTC textures on the 2nd disc of the original release but better). Though the geometry is simple, the game still looks great with those textures. I even played a map I made over 20 years ago and some unfinished maps I made.

Vampire Survivors

 

Saw it recommended by some people. Figured why not for $5. Oh boy this thing addictive. It is a roguelike bullethell-ish game. One that you are going to want to keep trying new runs and power combos with.

 

Note the first couple minutes of each run kind of suck into you get some upgrades.

Same. Although I can't stop playing GOW to mix it up with Sonic lol.

 

Im mostly the other way around! But that’s just because Sonic plays better in bed after work. Weekends are all about GOW. I have like 6 days off in a row starting Thu next week so I’ll be able to marathon it soon.

@stepee How do I know my game is running at 40fps? I have fidelity on with high framerate on too. Speaking about Ragnarok.

 

If you have fidelity and hfr on and have vrr enabled in ps5 settings/your tv - then you are actually running like 40-65fps hovering closer to 60 than 40 I think! If your tv is having no issues (flashing) with this mode then it’s better than pure 40fps which you would get by turning off vrr.

 

If you put it on performance/high fidelity it uses 1440p with taau upscaling which looks remarkably close and puts you more at 80-90fps and i find the resolution in this mode is the best when counting the temporal resolution during movement.
