i'm currently in that "need to change fonts" phase again across all my editors and this is now my top choice
As someone who doesn't (or can't) experience the feeling of nostalgia, this is fascinating. That such a simple act of playing certain games as a kid can make someone 20+ years later experience a set of emotions that makes them yearn for that time.
For me going back to games from my childhood (SNES era) is either because they seem interesting now or because I never finished them back then (Secret Of Mana: one day I will finish you).
I do wholeheartedly agree that nowadays we are massively spoiled for choice, in both the good (holy shit there's so much good stuff that's easy to get) and the bad (financial, choice paralysis).
The most hours I've ever put into a game (that wasn't WoW pre-Cata) is 99 (Persona 5). My brain just can't (or won't) comprehend playing something for x-hundred/thousand hours even if I really enjoy it.
I, like many of the other replies, feel quite the same. Although I think the highlight of this for me is just how less aggressive and how much more receptive and open to discussion people have been. tbf i still mostly lurk but I've commented more here in a few days than I have in the final few years I was on reddit.
Since Brandon Sanderson's Secret Project #3 came out on Saturday morning (Yumi and the Nightmare Painter) that's what I'm reading for the next week.
