For many of us these videos were life sustaining. School in session. A history and a lifestyle that never existed before acho and will never exist again.

A-cho 97/98 footage carried me so hard through the trenches.

anytime I'm learning an old game, a-cho vids on youtube are the instant click to see what's up. absolutely devastating loss

Dude this genuinely hurts

literally all i've been thinking about this past hour is what's gonna happen to the youtube channel.

Damn this is a tragedy. I had a very similar experience with a-cho vids. It was so cool to see competitive play of games I otherwise would never see in a modern context. Very sad.

I'm genuinely pretty devastated right now man. There's a lot of things I wanna say but words just don't do it justice. You cannot overstate how many players owe something to a-cho.

Yeah I feel like most people from our generation of players have fond memories of a-cho footage or even a trip to it. Truly a shame that such a landmark institution is going under

To the point where we didn't even care that the footage was NEVER HD, EVER...

aroolee.bsky.social•66 days ago

We grew up watching the same crunchy 144p match footage over and over again lmao. Modern streaming may as well be black magic

For real! Finally play some of those games in person and it's like, "OH IT RAN AT 60!?!"
