but it’s not as cheesy for sure, everything is all slick and polished and minimalistic, no doubt nostalgia is at play, but there was definitely a “Wild West” of computing back then that in my opinion has only been matched by the emergence of crypto, and an example of the difference might be like, now you can download unity for free and download a sample project and go to town, but back then having Qbasic hidden on your windows 3.1 install and finding the source code for a local multiplayer game ready to run, it’s just like... going to your local farmers market versus going to Whole Foods kind of feel, doesn’t feel like the makers are throwing in any hidden fun stuff anymore, everything is all corporate and streamlined rather than having a handmade feel lurking just under the hood
