I'm sick of internet accounts, if you could ditch them, would you?

[TheSpaceGnome]

If you could go back in time to the late 90s/early 2000s, where technology worked, and could use the internet, but didn't need accounts, would you? I would.

[Riebeck]

YES. Do you remember a site called jippii that had online minigolf and tank battles? You'd just type a new username everytime you went to the site. Awesome times in those early internet days

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, but I played the crap out of a bunch of other online games that had the same system, avp2 was my favorite.

[TheSpaceGnome]

technically avp2 used a repeat use user name, but you didn't need emails or passwords, it just took whatever you named your save file owner in single player and displayed that in pvp matches.

[Riebeck]

Yea that was awesome not needing accounts. Now everyone needs your info and permission to sell your data, as well it protects the websites

[TheSpaceGnome]

yeah i hate that shit, when the game industry crashes and restarts i won't miss this phase.

I have very few of them. I keep eBay and Amazon and my email and YouTube and this one and that's about it. Having too many generates too much spam in my email.

[TheSpaceGnome]

email spam is eviiiiiillll e_e

[Leavesbound]

I know. I spend an hour a day deleting them otherwise my box gets full and I don't get important email from people I need to communicate with.

Yeah i really wish the world wasn't as nerdy as it is now, in general

[TheSpaceGnome]

I wish it was more nerdy, like akihabara japan/comicon/E3 level nerdy.

I just hate having to deal with remembering passwords and filling out forms and whatnot, I want my nerdy time to be stress free like it was on older devices.

[beachloverr]

Absolutely. I wish.

[GirlyGal20]

yes 100%

[Gabboo]

I would!
