I've done it three times now, and I still can't get it right. There's a Butterfly Effect you always underestimate and going back to your childhood and low tech pre-internet, etc. while nostalgic, it's absolute hell in a lot of ways, like starting all over again from the beginning of a vidya where you accumulated a lot of items and power through sheer grind, (which is what day-to-day life is mostly). It's not as good as you remember in a lot of ways, but being a kid you're better able to deal with it and your memory gets rose-tinted glasses later on.My second time around everything was actually going pretty good until I was in a car accident, got a blood transfusion, and contracted AIDS in the 80's. It was fucked because it was a death sentence back then and not fun in the meantime. I noped the hell out of there the second I realised how fucked that situation was.Third time sucked arse but not due to any particular incident like that, it was just like I veered off in the wrong direction and could never get back on track. Everything I did just made it worse, but in a less dramatic dull kind of way.I'm starting to got a little traction this time, but I'm still not really satisfied with the results. I'm just sticking around for the longer haul trying to gain more experience to avoid as many pitfalls as possible next time. A miracle would have to happen for me to want to stay here too much longer though.
