My 12yo son was explaining to me what he wanted to do with his friends: “Dad, I want to invite all my friends over and play Halo together… like, **in the same room**.”
Hahaha! LAN* party!
We’ve got a 3060Ti desktop going to the projector, A 3060 Asus A17, a 3050Ti Asus Flow X13, and finally an ROG Ally connected to an old 24” FHD display (oh, and one rogue iPad playing something else). None of this stuff is high-end by any stretch of the imagination, but no one is complaining. Friends before frames!
They are having so much fun… and I’m full of nostalgia.
**Yeah, so not technically a* ***L****ocal* ***A****ccess* ***N****etwork, as they’re bouncing out of local to talk to the Halo servers, but the spirit of old school LAN parties is strong*!

There aren’t any CRTs and one of those kids is playing on a tablet, LAN partying like it’s 2024…

Edit: Whoever downvoted this never attended a [LAN party in the late 90s…](https://dondeq2.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/qc4.jpg)
I dare to say I don’t see any “1999” here.
I bet it sounded like LAX with those laptops.
wait is the title a reference to Like 1999 by Valley?
the person in the back looks like they are floating! what are they even sitting on?!
Rare find
I miss LAN parties. Those were incredibly fun.
