Used to go to internet cafés a lot when I was a kid (2004ish), the amount of friends I had that had virtual GFs was ridiculous. In hindsight it was more than likely creepy old men or poos
Had them while deployed in Afghanistan. Pretty comfy, I was signal tho so we just set up our own internet. Not as fast because we had to do it on the sly.
It was like $25 for a day pass (you get to use the computer the whole day) and $800 for a really usable gaming computer back in 2004-2008
If you didn't go to the cafe for a little over a month you would have enough saved. It was a business model that preyed on urgency but I guess it was fun playing BF2PC and World of warcraft while sitting next to the people you were playing with
>Remember having to go the local internet café to chat with your american gf on msn?
American women hate foreigners.
Those were gay Indian men, retard.
I used them a few times for communication when traveling before I got a laptop and smart phones with internet weren't a thing yet. Never had to use one for fun/games because we had one of the first PCs in the entire district that my dad got for his work at ministry of finance. Still remember it to this day, it was 1991, a 80286 processor with 1 MB of ram, 80MB hard drive and a button that switched between 8/16 Mhz clock speed.
Then a Polish programmer friend of the family got me a couple 3,5" diskettes with vidya. I had a massive queue of kids from my block waiting to go play at home because my parents would only allow 2 other people at the PC with me at a time. It was all ancient 80s games with 4 colors like Ally Cat and Sopwith and Shufflepuck. Then one day we got Prince of Persia and Golden Axe somewhere and our worlds fucking exploded. Ah those were the days.
But then my best friend got a 80386 PC with Catacomb 3D, Wolfenstein 3D and later DOOM and we were all queuing to go to him.
Thanks for reading my blog i guess.
Mostly southern/eastern Europe while they lasted, and they became synonymous even there will nagger call shops where you could see the Ubumbas through the windows directing their rebel armies back home with a tiny greasy headset on.
I used to install keyloggers to steal runescape accounts from nerds and sold their items for monopoly shekels. Not waste time on some fat American pedo larping as a girl
Yeah I remember chatting with your gf who was in a internet cafe
>chatting AS your GF you mean

I remember seeing one around here. I had my own computer since Windows 98 or 2000 so I never went in.
we never had these in my cunt cause we were all rich enough to have our own computers since we invented them (:

i miss running a bbs. my internet. with no idiots.
and frequent local parties.
Who are these people!? Don't have enough money to own your own computer or internet but do have enough to waste on travel/etc etc?
Computers were very expensive back then. Internet cafes weren't that expensive to use especially if was just occasional.
i paid almost 300 dollars for my first hard drive.
a whole 10 meg! i'll never fill that up! 10 meg how crazy is that!
Was comfy out in W Aus. Cafes held on a little longer out there.
Total bs

That's why internet cafes died out in the 2000s but in the 90s I'm sure it was a different story.
I don’t think we had those.

Wouldn't it be awkward and inconsiderate to jack off to internet porn in a cafe?
Yes. You don't have to do that.
I always had a computer because my family wasn't poor so I never needed to go to an internet cafe but I guess they were very popular in europe

Never been to or seen one of these, but we used to have free local dialup
Guy on the left looks like the uncanny Mr Incredible meme.
I was a very early adopter and skipped the whole internet cafe thing, I had everything set up already and seemlessly went from BBS to WWW.
