That bit about “when a game install was an experience” or whatever the actual phrasing is, hit that nostalgia.
I remember when saved up enough from my paper route and rode to the store after school to pick up AoEII and got home and started the install on the computer I had built from spare parts. My pops got home while I was still on the first disc part of the install and sat and watched the install slides with me. When the first disc was finished and ejected, he ran to the main family pc to start the install there. I didn’t play play until his install was also finished so we could both play on the LAN (with a single copy! Kids don’t know!). We had just started the first game when my grandma hit me on AIM to say she was trying to call and to get off the internet.

Nostalgia like a motherfucker.
