    Roller coaster Tycoon is one of a lifetime game.

    Now everything is electron or react shit. Gone are the times of downloading fully featured software under 10mb.

      I don’t think old=good is a good mentality though, lot of people seem to have it

      All the old software I know and use is exceptionally good, however I’ve heard about and chosen to use it because it’s survived the test of time (also because it’s still actively maintained and has had thousands of bug fixes over the years)

      Vscode and obsidian are pretty good and they’re electron, discord’s alright, pretty sure steam uses some kind of web wrapper as well.

      Real issue is electron is very accessible to inexperienced developers and easy to do badly, but I imagine people back in the old Unix days got an equal amount of shit bloated software

        Survivor bias is a thing and part of the reason people are nostalgic for old media.
