[CW: very cringe and nerdy] I just had a cool thought about how what we do lives on through more than just genetics
(hexbear.net)
Okay so, basically, the game EarthBound, yeah? The music in that game was written by a dude who was heavily influenced by the Beatles and other 60s/70s music. To the point where there is even sames from Beatles music used in EarthBound.
Ok so EarthBound, including its music in turn heavily inspired a bunch of Millennials including a fellow named Toby Fox whose work is heavily based on EarthBound to the point where Undertale and Deltarune use the soundfont and sound effects for a lot of things.
Which in turn inspired a ton of zoomers, and yeah you get the idea.
It's just a cool reminder of how we are all connected in the most cringe, nerd way I can think of. Everything we do touches other's lives, whether we realise it or not.
And ironically I believe that by collectively empowering each other to be able to live to the best of their ability, we also have more individualality than our current "every man is an island" BS.
