not too long ago, I made a list going of all the PC games I could recall playing as a kid. I wanted to relive those precious afternoons I spent losing track of time in the computer lab of my public library.
I recently found one of my favs, Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside (1996) on Steam. playing it as an adult brought me so much joy, I can't even tell you. and the reviews on Steam made me smile so much, especially the one below (hilarious). I also realized that Pajama Sam is voiced by Pamela Adlon (Spinelli Recess, Bobby King of the Hill, etc.) which is cool af.
so go find those games you used to play & travel back in time! I was shocked with how much I remembered. plus there's nothing like hearing those 90's sound FX, they just don't make em like that anymore. :')

Jumpstart Animal Adventures that I’d play ALL the time before and after Primary School. This echolocation song was burned into my brain and I still catch myself singing the words “I find my prey I find my way, echo-loca-tion yeahhh” : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvr4KSDA9Yo
(Batney Ears tho, iconic)
also I had an early game save just to leave Jak & Daxter running on Sentinel Beach even when I wasn't actively playing it, purely so I could listen to its theme whenever I wanted. My parents would get annoyed at me for leaving the TV on haha, but hearing it always made me feel so calm (:

I love having silly things to do and playing these games is one of them. The best part is the nostalgia from growing up playing these/watching the shows they’re based on :p

I don’t know what it is about them, maybe it’s the music or the terrible graphics, or maybe just remembering how it felt to have so much extra time on my hands that I could sit and play whatever free/cheap video game I could get my little hands on and disappear for hours on end without having to stress about deadlines or sleep schedules. Sometimes when its slow at work I’ll play some of the old soundtracks on my headphones to pass the time :)

I told a friend my plans for an upcoming sunday — to explore red hook, get key lime pie, and watch the sunset. she replied “OoO how romantic!” and it reminded me that I don’t need a partner to live a romantic life. the way I spend my time is fucking romantic! I’m romantic! how beautiful.
