bad nostalgia

Bad Nostalgia Isn't it fuarrrking weird that you still find something not aligning with your current values to be "good times"? A few years ago I used to be a windowstard who's addicted to retro games, random old hentai and fuarrrking Internet Archive crap. Together with energy drinks and pizzas and end up with my brain hurting me and having extreme fatigue. Now I fuarrrking hate hedonism and regret what I've done and yet at the same fuarrrking time I got feelings that Windows despite being a bloated spyware was such a comfy OS (pics related) along with some 2000s Yume Nikki vidya and 8-bit/MIDI/Hatsune Miku music I fuarrrking felt nostalgic about consuming already-nostalgic media and that I "want" to do these fuarrrking things again. I used to believe that "Linux" is just for weirdos or hackers and the only distros I knew were Kali and Ubuntu lol. Man it's like wanting to spend time again with some old crush you had and she treated you later like soykaf.

>>76554 Windows before windows 8 was a pretty comfy OS. It got a pretty consistent UI and actually had really big customization options. And unlike Linux was usable by people who didn't have hours free to learn every text command and what not. It pretty much just got random soykaf added to it after windows 8, and by now there's inconsistency in UI in every level.
