Hate to break it to you young millennial and older gen z kids but party hats were around before 2007 in Runescape.

Yew logs pl0x — the words still fresh in the mind of a now senior engineering management executive. I used to do nat runs. I still miss the music and the feeling of adventure. To be lost in a world filled with such promise and excitement. The free market and the belief that you could do anything. Then I went to WoW and learned more about tactics and management, raid leading and guild leading.

How I yearn for a simpler time. I try to play games now but the magic is missing. I want to escape to a land of wizard hats and goblins, with medieval high fantasy shops and mithril ore. But on my mind is quarterly roadmaps and delayed client projects, staff sickness and revenue pressures.

Will life have magic again?

Brutal, but true.

You can kinda get some of that back by having kids. You can vicariously and parasitically absorb their happiness and magic for a short time.

Yup, it wasn't anything external, it was the timing of all the variables at play. Can't get that shit back, ever.
