Music, game, novel, show, what have you. What do you love that’s particularly old?

    Video games in general, I’ve never stopped playing them.

    There was a period of time where I thought I stopped liking them. But it was just because everything new was trash (early access slop or f2p nonsense) or my anti-genres.

    As far as a “thing”, which I would define as an object and not a person or animal, I would have to say my two McIntosh amplifiers. I have an MC7100 and MC7108.

    Both were built in 1992. I am listening to the MC7108 in my office as I write this.

    I have many things that are very old and enjoy but I don’t use them on a daily basis. Maybe my typewriter is what I use more often.

    Normally, I’d answer my husband. But today, I’ll say Skyrim. I picked it up again after multiple years, and I have loved and played this game since its release in 2011.

    Talk all the shit you want, this is one of my favorite nostalgic kicks.

    I still keep a few old things around but I’m not near them or using them on a daily basis.

    The only exception is one necklace, which I always keep on even when showering. I started using it about a decade ago, but it belonged to my mother since her teenager years.

    So yes, that’s an item that’s old and I enjoy on a daily basis

    Fountain pens. They don’t make custom alloys of gold specifically for their nibs any more because they’re not ubiquitous. An old “wet noodle” italic Parker or Waterman is a writing experience to behold.

      I’m more fond of dip pens, they are terribly impractical but for me it’s a joy.

      One of my favourite nibs is the blue pumpkin.

      Try out fudepens too. Fountain pens, but with a brush end. Sometimes they’re refillable (my preference), sometimes they’re not. They make them with actual bristle brush tips, but also foam tips like calligraphy markers.

      I’ve come to really enjoy them.
