I've always been fascinated by nostalgia. It is such universal source of both positive and negative feelings for people. If anyone has any books or other media about nostalgia I'd love to hear about it.

Today's Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox (blegh) will be tomorrow's nostalgia. I just don't know if there will be cheap hardware available for future adults to experience it though. Plus it seems that pop culture is so much more fragmented now thanks to social media, so it's harder to capitalize on a single IP to milk later on.

Minecraft is already nostalgia. It reminds me of starting university 16 years ago.
