Check out the video game Hypnospace Outlaw if you are nostalgic for early AOL, it is a beautiful and original recreation of that aesthetic.

Even when I have the time after putting our daughter to bed on a Friday or Saturday, there's tons of things weighing on my mind I know I'll have to deal with and it's not just pure escapism like when I was younger and had no clue how precious that truly free time would be.

It sort of sucks, you realize that all of your favorite things were from like a decade or more ago--music, movies, etc. Nostalgia is strange because it doesn't matter what you were wasting your time with during your teenage and childhood years, all those activities obtain the golden patina of the irretrievable--playing GoldenEye on a small rear end TV screen while listening to The X alternative radio station in my room, or playing the MUD Dragonrealms or EverQuest, even those virtual spaces seem like lost Edens when they were just the things that burned into my brain at a vulnerable age.

Soon all it will take is a soft breeze knocking me over to shuffle me off this mortal coil. But then you get to start your next life, like in The Brothers Lionheart!

A coworker who didn't do that but showed them the movies in order when they were older said his kids found the original ones boring but liked the prequels more.

Snowy posted:That’s abusive, he should have raised them to be oblivious to the existence of the prequels and just let them find out later I found a really well done satirical children's book about nuclear war you'd probably love. It has activities and stuff but the subject matter is super dark. For example, there's a flip book throughout that shows a family dying in the seconds after a nuclear bomb goes off.
