Reminiscing on how kids of the 80s, 90s and 00s can all get games of their respective times via emulation and piracy, but anything inside Roblox is likely to be inaccessible when present day kids become adults and look back with nostalgia

    The Internet killed nostalgia.

    The before Internet time was the time when everyone caught onto fads together because we were all marketed to the same way and by the same people. With TV shows and commercials, we all watched Saturday morning cartoons and saw the same ads. Now we use ad blockers and ads are targeted, nobody sees the same thing anymore and nobody gets hooked on the same hobbies and interests.

    Remember when holiday toy fads caused stampedes and killed people EVERY year? Occasionally we have a toy fad like those ugly booboo dolls but it’s nowhere near as hyped as the tickle me Elmo.
