Super wave of nostalgia
I wish I could go back in time and own a super Nintendo for the first time all over again

@gdkar well it's like! I have some very fond memories just playing final fantasy 6 in the summer, the first time I owned it. Eating banana candies and exploring all the secrets in the world of ruin for the first time.

Or like, the first time I played earthbound, or illusion of Gaia.

It was this first intersection with music and art and escapism beyond books or lego.

@Mainebot
I'm replaying ff6 😁
Never owned it, always borrowed from friends - now I have the luxury to explore everything. Raspi and an 8bit do tend to such a lovely nostalgic experience

I know what you mean about first moments, though.
@gdkar

@Mainebot @gdkar
Do you find that listening to the music takes you back to those moments in time?

@viciousviscosity @gdkar

Not as much, anymore. I play the games from time to time and that's sort of nice, but the music I was listening to back then was p r e t t y bad.

I do want to replay Chrono Cross tho. I get the acoustic guitar theme stuck in my head a lot!

@viciousviscosity @gdkar

Ahahaha ohhhhh
Some! Some does. Chrono Cross for sure.

@Mainebot
That does have some great music. Never finished it though, sadly. I hear all sorts of good things about it though

@viciousviscosity it's not great. I loved it though :) I might put it on my phone tbh
