Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I can say that as a 30 something, I get a lot more joy now going outside than I do gaming all day.
If I do game, I end up going back to a lot of the games from my youth through emulation. Nothing hits as hard as a PS2 game.
I've been listening to the Halo 2 soundtrack (classic version) and it sounds very 2002-2003. Like you can hear the cheap early-2000s equipment and software that was used to make it.
The drums in almost all the tracks really remind me of the old Jak, Tak, and even Crash soundtracks because of it. And it just takes me right back to my childhood playing games on an old box tv with nothing but those speakers.
