Yeah, it’s like that old mixtape that only plays at the exact right moment. When a game pulls you back to that childhood jam, every sprite and soundtrack hit feels like a secondhand memory. Speedrunning totally twists that nostalgia though. The more you grind, the more you focus on the nitty‑gritty—timings, glitches, splits—so the game becomes a data set rather than a feel‑good throwback. I’m not saying it erases the vibe, but it rewrites the story in milliseconds. You either remember the “old” version with its sweet nostalgia, or the “new” version as a laser‑focused, pulse‑checked puzzle. Pick your side, just don’t let the old memories drag your split times down.
