Everyone has digital time capsules of their own. Maybe it's emails you sent. Maybe it's a high score on a leaderboard of some 20 year old computer game. They're deeply personal and it can feel a little indulgent to talk about. A lot of the people I played games with back in the day may read this and be like "So what?" Time marches on. We all grew up and moved on with our lives. I still do like to feel a little wistful about them though. Logging into my Xbox account feels like driving back to my hometown to visit my parents. My friends' houses are still there but they've long moved away. I still have all the memories of the time we've spent, and I may still be in touch with them, but it'll never be the same as it was back when we were kids. Video games have been a part of my life for so long, but when I look back at little time capsules like this, I realize it's less about the game itself and more the moments you share with your loved ones playing them that really stick with you. Do I remember much of the plot of Halo? Not really, but I'll remember a half dozen bikes parked in the driveway of my neighbor's house and all my friends lounging in the basement passing controllers around. I wonder how they're all doing these days.
