it sucked, i know for awhile there was this whole culture of hunting down dialup users and kicking them from game lobbies. the issue is that as the slowest connection, you don't experience the lag everyone else does who's on broadband.

Broadband didn't exist in 98'. I don't even think windows 98 could run broadband.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
too bad the op didn't "56k: get out" of life
