Modern Game Opinions Poisoned By Rampant Nostalgia
I spent some time thinking about why, despite loving just about any kind of media analysis, I stopped listening to most of those types of podcasts or reading those kinds of articles. Turns out nostalgia poisoning is to blame and I am so damn sick of it...
Today, as I took a break from the frenetic pace of my work day and turned my mind toward what I should write for today’s blog post–I landed on writing about my time listening to A More Civilized Age and watching The Clone Wars as a part of my foray into media review and discussion podcasts, a topic I will now be addressing another day–I remembered my first foray into media discussion podcasts and…

Star Trek: Picard- Nostalgia is the only thing that matters. Specifically, cis-het white middle class middle age nostalgia.
Star Trek: Prodigy- Nostalgia degrades over time, and is almost always inaccurate. Nostalgia can literally poison a fandom.

THEY FUCKING LANDED ON A PLANET WHERE PEOPLE TALK LIKE WILLIAM SHATNER AND WORSHIP THE FEDERATION - BUT THEY GET EVERYTHING JUST A LITTLE WRONG BECAUSE NOSTALGIA IS BASED ON WHAT YOU THINK SOMETHING WAS NOT WHAT IT REALLY IS
NOSTALGIA IS LITERALLY POISONING THE PLANET AND KILLING OFF ALL THE 'FANS' OF THE ENTERPRISE

Anyone else know that one tiktok where it’s like “how people think girls play with toys vs reality” and the reality was the person roleplaying with littlest pet shops getting poisoned during a fucking court trial?
Because as someone who was on the lps side of YouTube when I was a kid, that video is SO FUCKING TRUE-
A lot of 2000’s kids didn’t play house, really. A lot of us craved violence.

Reddit minecrafters: Ummmmmmm this new mob is USELESS because i can’t get 1million diamonds and riches when i kill it. GREAT WORK MOJANG 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Reddit minecrafters also: They removed a 2 pixel particle mob that does nothing from the update. This is authoritarianism. We need to protest outside mojang HQ for this unforgivable slight. We need to kill the guy who said fireflies are poisonous to frogs.

I used to think Ready Player One was unrealistic for having kids in the 2040s be obsessed with the 1980s, but apparently that was prophetic because the entire entertainment industry refuses to touch anything else. By the time the 40s roll around, all the people who were kids in the 10s and 20s will be nostalgic for the 80s nostalgia they had forced down their throats, and the cycle will begin anew (if it ever even ends...)
I hate the 1980s with a burning passion. That entire decade is a curse from which we will never be free.

i have a very specific picture of a hypothetical drizzt anime floating in my head and it’s like, done in that very 2000s anime aesthetic. none of the new, shiny styles that characterize most of modern animation, it needs to have the kind of feel to it that doesn’t look too polished but looks like it could fit perfectly onto a grainy 480p 3-part episode on a youtube playlist with slightly wonky fansubs

I find it absolutely fascinating that liminal haunted house horror got a huge spike in popularity not too long after the start of a traumatic global event that forced us all involuntarily into our homes for uncomfortably long amounts of time.
It's fun finding cultural anxieties in horror, man.

Forgive the quality; it was only downloading as a PDF I read the first 8 books; of course the vampire and werewolf ones were my favs.
