Remember when Google had a slogan at one point was to "don't be evil?"... Yeah that didn't age well. This little element inside of old YouTube can already spread a thousand words amongst someone on the internet, and while I don't have the mental capacity to talk extremeo huge about it, I do want to say something: Nostalgia can be a huge pain in the ass.
Nostalgia is like a drug: you think about it after hearing what it's about, and you start taking too much into it that it's negatively affecting your life. I don't do drugs (and you shouldn't too), but nostalgia is something that's heavily affected me. It's the reason why I can't remove all of the bad memories in my life. It's the reason why I constantly play Terarria, Gradius, Puyo Puyo, Dark Witch-- anything you'd expect me to play. Nostalgia is why I always talk about old operating systems and everything. And what does this have to relate to the review? While nostalgia has its merits and downsides, one thing that it does have, it's its ability to remember. Easter eggs like these reminds us of the good times of social media when everything wasn't just about short video after short video after short video. When an IM chat was just as lively as speaking to people irl. The marketing strategy of the 2000s and early 2010s was to capture all of the basic essentials that we all know to blend them into this world, to get evreyone comfortable. Now becsuse everyone was comfortable, the mid 2010s started to downgrade a bunch of things. Yes, even 2015, the year of all time, started to show a decline in how humans have to have terms such as "touching grass," degenerates, and "discord moderators" come up more consistently. The pandemic especially: that was the time of the year where Social media was ONLY our way of communication, and how control was at its peak. Now as we dwell our of the pandemic, companies are just using you more and more and more and they're aware of it too! But honestly. If they were to eventually stop, there will all be those other downsides that come up for not only us, but for the companies, too.
I'll end this somber review with a short message: if you have trouble coming up with something new to do, allocate some time in your life to try that something. But if you can't, stick to what you can do, becsuse at the end of the day depending on who you are, you'll can surprise people that you can't find anything new to do becsuse that one game means a whole lot to you.
