Lain was a pretty accurate hacker ngl. Well, in the old meaning of the word.

Some cool scenesFootage from the game dc1013 showing Lain study a C++ textbook.

Lain holding a textbook called "Hacker Heavenz volume 5."

Lain wearing a bear suit, looking depressed.

You'd think by now some hacker would actually look like the gamer because that's why they got into hacking; to look cool.

If you get into hacking to look cool you probably aren't going to be good at hacking
