i love depictions of mad doctors in cartoons who are struggling to grapple with all the demonic noise swirling in their noggin / visions of monsters / transforming into a beast etc because that’s just what adhd is like. that is literally just what it’s like

Emily is Away <3 reminded me about a time when social media was actually... social

Hey, guys! I've been away for quite some time, haven't I? A lot has happened, but let's talk gaming! I just finished Emily is Away <3 after quite some stalling. The second game didn't sit well with me, not cuz' it wasn't good, but mostly because it reminded me of a certain episode of my past that I was not exactly ready to revive in my mind...

Anyway, playing the game brought me a profound sense of nostalgia, transporting me back to a time when social media played a very different role from today. Before they turned into arenas of polarization and endless controversies, that time when they served as platforms for genuine connections with real people. I remember it was common to spend hours chatting with school or college friends at night, planning real-life meetups for the next day for example. I even met my very first girlfriend on social media!

The game also accurately portrays an era when discovering music felt more personal. Instead of being bombarded by an endless stream of new content like we get in our feeds nowadays, the music we discovered often came from friends’ recommendations. A shared video or a band name mentioned in a conversation could deeply influence our musical tastes.

One of the most striking aspects I noticed in the game was how it reconstructs the social dynamics I experienced during Facebook’s peak time. The complexities of friendships, misunderstandings, and minor dramas depicted in the game brought back memories of situations that, at the time, felt absurdly painful to me. Playing it now, with more maturity and a broader understanding of who I am and what I want to do with my life, I'd say it was an almost therapeutic experience ✨. It felt like revisiting past moments with the opportunity to react more consciously and thoughtfully, something that would have been invaluable back then... I believe I lost my one true love because of bad choices of words and misunderstandings that are depicted in the game.

It made me longing for that feeling again, for these connections... Maybe one day we can connect again, as real people.
