> Sometimes I wonder if perhaps it’s not the gadgets that have changed, but instead I have just grown up. Whenever this happens, I stop and watch my lava lamp for a little while. Without fail, it always invokes the same sense of wonder I felt as a child in The Gadget Shop, and takes me back to my fond memories of the time spent there with my father.

When I feel the corporate enshittification becoming overwhelming, I use Dungeon Master IIGS, Bards Tale IIGS (and other pixelly classics) for this. Felt like magic growing up with all the exploration and secrets to uncover.
