Stumbled across this last week, and man… it just ripped me straight back to those summers spent hunched over my dusty old Dreamcast, sweating buckets in my bedroom, chugging Capri Suns like they were life support, booting up Jet Set Radio and thinking, ‘Yeah… this is peak human experience.'

I had a nostalgia flashback a few days ago, and it felt like I was still there at my aunt and uncle's house in Middleton, Massachusetts playing this for the first time. I remembered the view out the window, sitting on the hardwood floor, and the menu music playing out of the huge rear-projection TV set (I'll be able to press play on that song in my brain at any given moment for the rest of my life.) I had never really had a flashback like this before, but I got really emotional. This week has personally been one of the hardest for me in a long time, and in that moment, I wanted to be back there so badly when everything was so much easier.

I don’t know what it is about them, maybe it’s the music or the terrible graphics, or maybe just remembering how it felt to have so much extra time on my hands that I could sit and play whatever free/cheap video game I could get my little hands on and disappear for hours on end without having to stress about deadlines or sleep schedules. Sometimes when its slow at work I’ll play some of the old soundtracks on my headphones to pass the time :)

not too long ago, I made a list going of all the PC games I could recall playing as a kid. I wanted to relive those precious afternoons I spent losing track of time in the computer lab of my public library. I recently found one of my favs, Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside (1996) on Steam. playing it as an adult brought me so much joy, I can't even tell you. and the reviews on Steam made me smile so much, especially the one below (hilarious). I also realized that Pajama Sam is voiced by Pamela Adlon (Spinelli Recess, Bobby King of the Hill, etc.) which is cool af. so go find those games you used to play & travel back in time! I was shocked with how much I remembered. plus there's nothing like hearing those 90's sound FX, they just don't make em like that anymore. :')

Yeah, it’s weird—Einstein’s brain slices, a skeleton with *extra* bones, and a colon so big it could fit a toddler. But c’mon, where else can you say ‘That’s disgusting… tell me more’ and actually learn something?

There's really no basis for it besides straws being grasped from Bowie's Blackstar album, but still found it funny.
