I grew up with Vista and 7, but i absolutely love the Windows 98 era, maybe even more (because of the old web). Thanks for your message !

Wow, that came out awesome! The color scheme, the text formatting, the picture selection, the timeline layout with the personal memories...I dig all of it!

omg thank you both! I was inspired and threw this together of a fleeting moment of nostalgia for 90s Barbie. I'm really happy with how it turned out so it means a lot that y'all like it!

I think childhood nostalgia is a kind of "mental safe space" that a lot of people here share. It is good that it pushes you towards creativity rather than apathy. I look forward to seeing what you've come up with!

Thank you! I try to use my nostalgia to tune into the present and look forward, not just idealize the past. It definitely provides comfort in the familiar but also in the hope for the future it can give me.

This is a huge compliment! Thank you so much. I've toned down some of the satirical aspects of it but still hope to provide commentary, not just straight nostalgia. It's nice to think I'm striking a good balance. Ty again. <3 followed you back! love your illustrations.
