    As someone who already lived in 2000, I can confirm this. It worked a bit differently and we called it “the internet” back then

      I thought you were going to say that you can confirm fucked his mother in 2000, and now he is 23 y.o.

      On more serious note, I think WiFi existed back then, and radio transmitters were too used (although limited) in internet backbone. So, the description is accurate.

        Don’t tell anyone, but WiFi is a radio transmission

        2000 is about the turning point when internet because mainstream; when people turned from “oh, you’re on the internet?” to “oh, your not on the internet?” Internet was quite new and WiFi wasn’t a thing, tho it might already existed somehow. Don’t know about radio transmitters in that context in that time.

        So I don’t know if it existed back then but I’m sure it wasn’t mainstream. But there were browser games and I think it was possible to play again each other.

      One of the few examples where real technology was more advanced and practical than they predicted.

        Shit talking the opponent is a tradition as old as competitive games themselves, it’s in the genes.
