I’m a couple years younger than you, and well as a kid we did buy software from babbages or electronic boutique. I think the last time I bought software for a store was around 2010 at a micro center or something. But that was already a rare occurrence at that point. So as of today it’s probably been 16 years since I’ve done so. I think most of the stores that actually sold software are out of business. So your point is valid.

…backrooms?

If it was more in the zeitgeist, kids would be huffing it on tiktok.

Or a 1970s political thriller.

As an Elder Millenial/Xennial I was lucky enough to make it to adulthood just before it got complicated. Unfortunately we’re talking months.

We must become one with the plastic. It’s the only way.

So what? Bring it. All of it.
