It's wild to me that ctl+alt+del is relevant today at all. I used to read webcomics in high school all the time, CAD included. Loss was definitely eye opening, it was a real moment of "wasn't this comic about video games?" But then it was forgotten about for so long. It's a marvel to me that random moment in such a dated comic got meme'd on this hard.

Aren't all (or almost all) memes famous randomly though? No one expected a sort of doofy photo of a teen to be famous for years for having bad luck, for example.

Very true! I guess I just never expected a random webcomic I stopped reading years ago to ever be relevant again haha.
