Some games instantly ban you from chat if you write alt f4 as an anti-hazing measure. I, being of patrician’s taste, ask in global chat for the command to close a window and giddily watch as microphone icons disappear from the player list.

Setting: Napster Chat c. 1999

User: Why is my download so slow?

Me: If you hold CTRL+ALT and tap DEL as fast as you can it’ll speed it up

Windows 98:
CTRL+ALT+DELx1 = Task Manager
CTRL+ALT+DELx2 = Immediate Reboot

Half the chat: *Disappears*

Not a bad meme, but it feels like the Venn diagram of people who have been playing 50+ years, know about the Alt-F4 prank, and can’t figure out how to reload would be a pretty tiny overlap…

I once asked for a niche camera control shortcut and someone said "Alt + the external view button" and I tried it before realizing that the external view button was F4 :/

My fucking boomer dad was the first to hit me with this back in the early 90s. Told me the god mode code in Doom was ctrl+alt+delete. This was back before it asked for any confirmation and just restarted the machine instantly. I ended up doing it 3 times in a row before I realized what was going on.

In Star Citizen, you cycle the camera with F4. I've gotten a few people by telling them alt reverses the cycle direction.

If you don't speak French, you can remove the French language pack from your Linux install with sudo rm -fr

Isn't that the cheat code in Starcraft to get naked Kerrigan pics on Bnet?

Anyone remembers the paladin who setup group select key binds with Alt+F1-F5 and was complaining, that selecting the fourth member always crashed the game?

Is that Linus Sebastian?

There was a time where Source games had "Quit game" bound to F10 per default

Was a fun time, when you could tell people to press F10 to open the cheat menu or start a votekick

Bold of you to assume there will be Windows, or keyboards... or kids
