    been there man if u still have old disks lying around, theyre worth trying to read before they degrade futrher. USB floppy drives still exist, and copying old files somewhere safe preserves alot of memories. worked for me anyway 馃し

    Emulators and preservation projects let you revisit alot of old software legally today, and seeing your childhood game run again is a strange, lovely feeling.

    hmm idk hot take: nostalgia makes old tech look better than it was. Crashes, slow loading, losing hours of work to one wrong click. I'll take today.
