> For the younger readers out there: These are not USB devices and you can't text your friends or watch TikTok videos on them. I know. Crazy.

>> I know that this is a joke, but let's remember to be inclusive and kind to our younger readers and take the time to explain (reiterate even) what pieces of old tech are, and what they were used for.

This attitude is why I never finished Thimbleweed Park, it’s full of “hey remember when it was the late eighties/early nineties, wasn’t it better then” jokes and it just wore the whole thing thin for me.

Thimbleweed Park has a setting to turn on/off the "annoying in-jokes". Maybe that could help?
