I was born in 1995, so I mostly avoided the fun of multiple floppy disks. I just had things require multiple CDs.

I just recalled how rough it was to install the original Sims with all expansion packs back in the day. Not only were you constantly changing CDs to install all the expansions, but the installation process took at least 2-3 hours. Really weird to see something like that just jump through the installation process like it is nothing. I remember when reloading a saved game in Thief would take a few moments, when installing Zoo Tycoon would take a while.

That is the thing I never understood about retro enthusiasts. Why you would want to relive the days of things taking ages to install is beyond me. I would rather a modern computer with maximum compatibility, then use something like that only for the rare outliers that don't work.

The hard part is when you have nostalgia for a game that is highly obscure. I have tried to find something to fill the void, but Virtual Deep Sea Fishing was the best fishing game to ever exist and the only one that made it fun (made by a random Korean company that made fishing games for years, these were the only games to become International, the most recent edition not even existing outside Korea). Nowadays I can't even find a download for it online, nevertheless set it up to play it (it is known to be an extreme hassle past Windows XP). Since I can't download it, I can't play around and figure out how to make it work. Since it doesn't work with ease, buying it is a hassle of an investment, since you might not even be able to get it functional.

So in other news, I decided to give Within Temptation a chance and feel it was one of my worst decisions. It is like Evanescence singing over some of the most generic of symphonic metal. Sharon sounds exactly like Amy, trying to compare the two I could barely find a difference besides the genre they are in, and Within Temptation even goes pop enough that they might actually be calmer music as a general rule. Really an offense to the genre.
