Things boomers are nostalgic for:

❎️ the ways things actually were better.

✅️ inconvenience.

    And for retro games, emulators have left even that in the dustbin of time.

    Sick of the last RPG save happening 20 minutes before a boss fight? Save at literally any moment with save states.

    That too much work? You can rewind the entire game.

    I sometimes wish manual save was a thing. Autosave is nice, but dont take away features please.

    Like in expedition 33. I didnt realize you could only fight the last boss 1 time, so i went and did endgame after the story. Now i cant see the ending(s) without doing a full play through or watching someone else do it on youtube.

    I started NG+ lol

    Remember popping in a CD?

    It could hold up to like 15 songs!

    Nostalgia is good & nice but nah I don't need artificial limits on stuff today.

    CDs can't be erased on the cloud, to then either push other songs on you, or the "remasters" (cough-cough In Flames), and otherwise most digital albums still hold this "artificial" limit. Even worse is when they limit it to 2-3 minutes nowadays, because Tik-Tok.

    And remember paying $20 in 1996 for that 15 song CD, and remember your heartbreak when you listen through for the first time and find out there was only the one song you knew that you really liked and maybe two others that were just okay?

    Dark days indeed.
