As I’ve been getting older I’ve been feeling a lot more melancholic as time goes by. Memories seem to fade from me, past relationships, friendships, even just people I know seem to become fleeting memories and even experiences that I’ve had, like games I played for the first time, seem to be dragging me back. There’s nothing particularly wrong with how my life is going, in fact in some ways I’m doing better than ever, it’s just strange to see and feel like my mind wanders into the past more times than I can mention.
It especially happens with games actually. Perhaps it’s due to the fact that I can actually relive those memories by playing through the games from my past and thus I anchor myself to previous experiences. Or perhaps with just how things are currently with the state of the gaming industry I want to remember a time when things were good and people weren’t just money-hungry corporate types trying to rip people off, they just made good games. It seems unfortunately rarer and rarer nowadays that a game just comes out and is good with no strings attached.
Maybe, however, I’m just a middle aged man feeling like an old man at this point and rambling. Who knows, who even knows if I’ll remember writing this tomorrow! I’d be interested in knowing however if any of you feel the same way. Share your thoughts below if so and we’ll see if we can talk this out. That’s all for now, and as always. It’s not just a game, It’s a Life.
