i has a similar moment when visiting a good friend that just moved back to romania after brexit and while sitting at a classy café, a well dressed guy approached my friend and started making a lot of melodramatic bowing and effusions and calling him with what was clearly a nickname. after he left, my friend simply said that they were homies on cs1.6, probably met in real life thanks to the cafes (i bet romania was a messed up place in early 00s). i felt a urge of envy, not so much for their skills in cs1.6 but because i totaly missed out on those early days of lan parties and internet multiplayer games with real freedom (i only played single player duke3d and other FPSs with my cousins as a kid, taking turns).
