Back in (estimating) 1997, I was playing Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 via the then-relevant MSN Online and someone posted a link in the public chat; I don’t remember what the link offered, but it was enticing enough that my ten-year-old self clicked it.
They said “someone with the IP [whatever IP I had then] clicked this!” In response I unplugged both my modem and computer so they couldn’t hack me.
It’s embarrassing to remember now, but I knew so little at the time that it seemed to make sense in the moment.

You fucked up kid. As I type this I have my modded PS2 running a track IP script on your post. Once I have triangulated your position in the world, my PS3 will release to your router my very own Pandora box virus. You won’t notice it at first, but soon your lame PC will begin to work against you in ways you can’t even imagine. First your graphics card will start to emit the flu virus, your ram will be uploaded online so everyone will be able to use it, your motherboard will slowly secrete acidic resin which will fry the electronics. The processor will be fine, just to give you hope.
You will be left with a husk of a machine, all because you decided to critique console players ability… was it worth it?
Not even your mummy can help you now fuck boy
