    “A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered. You are speaking, Hmán, as if pleasure were one thing and the memory another. It is all one thing.” - CS Lewis’ Sci-fi Trilogy

    Your nostalgia for the game is just as much a part of your experience of the game as when you originally played it. Enjoy feeling the good memories and that desire to go back to them, but know that you can never go back. Remembering good times is just those good times becoming “fully mature”.

      God damn CS Lewis has a way with words. the last line in the Narnia Chronicles is so beautiful it makes me want to believe in god

      This quote is new to me but I’ve gotta read that story for sure.

      Damn, deep shit.

        I can’t recommend his scifi trilogy enough! The first book (“Out of the Silent Planet”) is my favorite, but the 2nd is also pretty good. The 3rd book is COMPLETELY different from the first two, but still enjoyable.

        There are clear allusions to monotheistic faith in each of them, but I believe he was a philosopher first and foremost. Great reading for over winter holiday if you get a break from school/work at all.
