I absolutely loved it! I did play it a year after launch so many bugs and glitches were probably fixed, but I don't have many complaints about it. Of course there were still glitches, which were amusing, but nothing game breaking.
I loved the upgrading system, the stealth, and best of all, it added quicksaving! Granted, it was slower than it used to be in older games, but I'm thankful they added it at all!
It's the first game in a long long time that I played through more than once. I did all the intros, and endings, including the secret one!
Apparently, they're making a sequel, which I'm hyped for!
I'm not sure if this counts, but I love seeing the things people have been doing with Vinyl records since it's revival. Like making them heavier to improve sound and reduce warping, and even something Techmoan also covered, where people were able to get short black & white videos playing from them!

I've also been hearing about "LPD" displays, which said to be are spiritual successors to CRTs due to using a lot of the same technologies. It would be so cool if we can see them being used in a more consumer level and even with our monitors!
I go to Aikido and Iaido practice, do Digimon TCG and DnD, and go to music practice with a charity. I also like to go to whatever meetups are in my city that interest me.
I've been really obsessing over 2 aesthetics from back in the day that I remember seeing back when I was a child.
The first is what's called Gen-X corporate, which is mostly how corporations and businesses presented themselves back in the late 90s and very early 2000s.
The other is the Y2K Aesthetic, which is a wee bit later, and was used for computer graphics, music and clothing.
Both of these aesthetics give me a sense of wonder and excitement, and to me, actually feels more modern and futuristic than the aesthetics most people use today.
Come to think of it, they're almost opposite of modern aesthetics. Modern aesthetic are typically very flat, and uses few colours, but Gen-X corporate uses colours galore, and Y2K feels like it really jumps out on you.
What do you guys think of these? Are there any retro aesthetics you guys love?
Personally, I don't have a cassette recorder, so I can't make mixTAPES, per se, but I love making mix CDs out of my iTunes library!
That's definitely a start! I feel making Mixtapes is a-whole-nother beast, though. making Mix CDs consist of dragging songs into a playlist and then burning them to CD. Cassette on the other hand, is an analogue format, so putting a song onto it involved positioning the tape right, and timing the beginning and end of a song right, and making sure the heads are aligned correctly so the song comes out of both speakers as it should. It takes a lot more effort.
Don't get me wrong, though, if someone gave me a Mix CD for my birthday or something, I'd still be excited they went through that effort.
I copied the files onto a real floppy disk, and sure enough, it works great! Only displays properly on some browsers, though. It's weird clicking a link and hearing the floppy drive go as it loads the next page.
It has inspired me to make my own floppy site, and it appears I'm not alone.
I think it'll be an interesting challenge to condense my site into 1.44MB. Is this something you guys would be interested in trying as well?
