I read every one of those and thought. Well that's a new game. Apparently I'm old.

League of legends is two decades old now, so if you're thinking it's new, yeah that's on you ๐Ÿ˜œ

I'm going to be honest I just looked up the game for the first time and had no clue it came out in 2009. I hadn't ever heard of it until a few years ago so I just figured it was some new game. The whole warcraft/dota thing was crazy to me.

Apparently Iโ€™m old.

Further down in the thread, I ran into someone talking about an older RPG, Realmz. I dug up a subreddit on Reddit related to the game, and the stickied post had this gem:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Realmz/comments/qoowgl/assorted_realmz_files_codes_realmz_character/

These are codes that were reissued by Skip (Aka. SpoonLard). He and my grandfather were the original two collaborators when Skip attempted to carbonize Realmz in 2005.

Nothing like a comment about someone's grandfather having tried twenty years ago to modernize a game you've played in its original form.
