I never said you can't like "old stuff"

: Well hooray for internet colloquialisms. I'm using "nostalgia" in

: language. It seems the colloquial definition is simply used by people to
: dis "old people and their old stuff," probably because they were
: tired of hearing older people talk about how much cooler pop culture was
: in their day. A word doesn't just gain negative connotations for no reason
: when it had none before.

I love tons of things from my past still. That's because they're actually good, and no one's trying to make me feel the way I did when I first experienced them.

I'm just saying that you shouldn't use biased memories to make judgements in the present.

I like Halo: CE and all, but honestly, I don't think it's quite as good as some people make it out to be. And every time we hear "oh, this (weapon, map) hearkens back to Halo: CE!"- it never does. It's not because it wasn't implemented right. It's because people remember things too fondly.

Nostalgia is a powerful thing- just gotta be careful that it doesn't cloud your judgement.
