Things boomers are nostalgic for:
❎️ the ways things actually were better.
✅️ inconvenience.
as an Xer i played video games for years before they invented "save game"
i've spent exactly 0.00 nanoseconds since then missing those pre-save-game days
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.
Remember the C64 cheat cartridge? Saved off your game / reloaded it whenever you wanted.
I wanted one so much, but I never got one 😔
Me either, but I would have wanted a Fast Load cartridge instead, but we couldn't afford that either.
"You found a 'tape', with it you can save once "
Yeah , what a bs thing.
That's part of the horror in survival horror though. I liked that feature in Resident Evil, etc.
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.
songs have been 2-3 minutes for decades now
Artificial limits can be great though. They force you to think about what you’re doing. Only 80 minutes of space on the CD? 36 frames in my camera? Make them count.
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.
what about when they started to make cd players that could read a data disc full of mp3s? what a time to be alive. no need for a changer in the trunk!
Ha ha yeah, around the time where 128MB mp3 players got accessible!
Well, that's like your opinion, man.
Nah, it's more thinking about a time where things like not missing your favorite TV show was very high on your list of priorities.
