  I find myself playing more retro stuff.

  I bought the Retroid Pocket Flip 2, which is exactly the same everything as a Retroid Pocket 5, with the exception of form factor. With apps like game native, I can play older PC games.

  But like…have you ever played Super Mario Bros 2 at 2am, while smoking weed? The game holds up.

  I guess I’m not a fan of the greyscale realistic graphics of a dystopian future, and everybody is shooting guns.

  Yaaaaaaaaaawn.

  But Stardew Valley?

  The Survivalists?

  Those games are amazing! Colorful graphics. I don’t need realism. I need escapism. I need worlds that make me feel SOMETHING positive in my life.

  But ever since PS2, it’s been guns guns guns, rainy grey skies, post apocaliptic worlds. I don’t need that, and it’s been industry standard for 25 years it feels like.

  I’m loving my Flip2 though.
