>le epic retrofuturism 90s nostalgia romance where the chapters begin with AIM chat quotesCan this ever not be cringe? I started to miss bash.org and I'm glad I took a bunch of screencaps of it when I did. It made me really realize the old internet is dying. Is there any market for nostalgia-baiting nowadays? Because something about deadmall/liminal space/retro internet shit gives me feels, even if it's gay, cringe, and shallow. And it might help me process my feelings for a manic pixie dream girl I had years ago, and stop comparing girls I actually date to her.

>>24797797fucking christ, that looks like Finnegan's Wake for the modern era.I just mean more like the chapter headings you see in Dune or Ender's Game, but it's IRC chat, between this girl and guy mostly. All flavored like old AIM messages.The idea is that this dude was really into this manic pixie party dream girl who wants to stargaze and go to the county fair and ride the ferris wheel and all that other gay shit, she is also a party/rave girl, all about youth and freedom, and then she ODs and dies, so the guy becomes a retro cyberpunk hacker killing the drug smugglers and corpos that caused her to die, finds some super-secret tech that would let him talk to her again and relive his teenage years, then when he does bring her back she's basically an annoying consoomer whore, and all the stuff he thought was cute was just his retarded nostalgia, the 90s actually sucked, life fucking sucks, and those feelings (which are fake) are the only good things he has.Also he never actually fucks her or kisses her. And dumps his actual irl gf because he doesn't feel the same way as his gay, fake crush.Essentially a completely nostalgia-poisoned peak millennial.
one final bump looking for peoples' opinions.
