Ask HN: What happened to MMORPGs and internet cafes?

Hacker News - Sat, 04/26/2025 - 1:06am

Back around 2002-2010 there where a ton of internet cafes in my eastern European country with a lot of these type of games ( think wow, ncsoft offerings and various other).

Back then we experienced a sense of community through gaming that was somewhat of a lower pace (months grinding to forge a weapon) yet all of this is know gone.

Is the state of gaming today a natural progression and it cannot be any other way?

Ask HN: Best audiobooks you've listened to recently? (Cosmic horror/non-fiction)

Hacker News - Sat, 04/26/2025 - 12:19am

I have a long flight coming up and I’m looking for audiobook recommendations — fiction or non-fiction. If it’s fiction would be interested in cosmic horror or sci fi genres.

Show HN: Inovex Support Ticketing – Modern, Affordable, No-Bloat Alternative

Hacker News - Sat, 04/26/2025 - 12:17am

Hi HN,

I’m the founder of Inovex Technology, and after years of seeing small and medium-sized businesses struggle with expensive, outdated, and overly complex ticketing systems like Zendesk, Zoho, and Freshworks, I decided to build something better.

Inovex Support Ticketing is a straightforward, modern app designed for SMBs who want robust features and a clean UI-without the enterprise price tag or confusing menus. You get centralized ticket management, customizable workflows, real-time notifications, and actionable analytics, all wrapped in a UI that actually feels pleasant to use. It’s built to be easy for teams to adopt and scale as they grow.

I’d love feedback from the HN community-especially if you’ve felt the pain of legacy support tools or have ideas for features that could make support less of a headache for small teams. You can check it out here: https://inovextech.com/products/support-ticketing
