The reason I absolutely believe this to be true? Because I’ve used this on my little brothers since we were kids. I’m 45.
It’s called “reverse psychology.”
Refugee from another, less-friendly instance. Please forgive the youth of my account— I’ve actually been around here for a while. Still, glad to be here!

It was getting a bit too sciency and not enough shitposty around here
Says the guy proposing a form of logic on “the web of lies” lol
Or nobody will trust it
I learned so much in those days about the outrageously absurd, efficiency of code and concatenation and stupid little things. Early days of coding and even scripting through these silly difficulties shaped us in ways we can’t even recognize now.
It was all about solving puzzles using primitive tools and incompatible systems just so we could play simple games. I’m reading articles now about how Gen Z doesn’t even know how to type, lol.
not my bedtime!
you just gave me a panic attack about trying to get ultima underworld II and Star Wars: TIE Fighter to run
you had me at P!=NP
You need to get better drug dealers

It did get annoying having to run back and forth through all of the worlds, but some were very cool, like the one with the fighting arenas. And the tomb with all the levels. And the story was awesome.
The sequel was pretty good too. They’re both on GOG, btw, And have aged pretty well. The graphics aren’t so good, but the story and gameplay are still pretty great. I still replay them (and the Myst games) from time to time.
“They” got over it, as most people do, and moved on. Remnants still remain, but they were unified due to a critical mass of dissent.
Don’t expect to see anything like it again until another critical inflection point. Just know that, if you do, shit’s prolly in a bad place…so…
