In a world where a simple game can ignite such passion, it’s hard to ignore the loneliness that creeps in when the internet crashes under the weight of our collective hopes.

Will I ever find that shared excitement again? Let’s embrace the memories, even if they come tinged with sadness. Maybe, just maybe, we can bridge the gaps this season. https://hackaday.com/2025/12/20/retrocomputing-simulacrum-or-the-real-deal/ #Retrocomputing #Nostalgia #Holidays #Loneliness #Connection
