Vaping is so incredibly lame, there's just no way to do it with any sort of dignity.

nostalgia is such an odd feeling for me; it can come up for things like Trapper Keepers or 90s pastels, but then also come up for the smell of cigarettes, or the soundblasted screams from video games.

The semi translucent brown glass ash trays that were everywhere. Sticking your fingers into the coin return to see if anyone forgot their quarters.

Weird life.

You know what’s really weird about nostalgia now, and is only gonna get weirder for future generations? Video games are these entire worlds preserved, where everything is exactly as it was, so you can experience a moment in time (sans your peripheral environment) exactly as it was years ago when you first had it.

Unlike real life where a house is demolished or a new development gets put in where a field was, it’s every single thing right where it was, sounding as it did.

To me that’s a crazy thing to think about, and how it accesses and fills every crevice of a memory you had about it, no matter how buried.

Not as immersive, but TV/Movies, songs, even books are like that too.
