Nostalgia. CS 1.2 with our family's bad windows 98 PC in the early-2000s was how I got into computers as an 8 year old kid. It was so laggy on our low end PC, it took about 5 seconds to shoot. It was like watching a slideshow presentation with delayed sound. It was until I discovered the internet and browsing around forums, that I found a solution to hack around it. Later I started making bots and mods, getting my first exposure to programming. But that exploration stopped when I discovered a very grindish online game that became massively popular in the 2000s called Runescape.
