AoE and AoE2 still having an active player base and community makes me so happy. AoE2 is truly a timeless game

Usually gaming online or when I think about how psychopathic and hateful our current government.

The OG memes don’t even need text.

Does telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl count?

Pre memes we had movies like Billy Madison and Tommy Boy. Those quotes are permanently part of my vocabulary. “Stop look at me swan”, Housekeeping. You want mint for pillow?".

The oldest actual meme/Internet thing I regularly reference is “here is the earth, round” or "the cheat is grounded "

i still reply 14/f/cali anytime asks me my age.

and thats from like…the early/mid 90s. before memes as we knew it were a thing.

I cannot really remember what is the oldest, but a lot of old Team Fortress 2 gm videos, live rent free in my head, and I quote them (especially just the weird noises) all the time. And I still follow the creators, that make new ones. It has evolved into a full genre over the years.

//Edit
I went and dug through my playlists. This is “only” 10 years old, but I think it summarizes well, both the absurdity of them, and how far from the actual game, the genre is.

OK.
