There is something truly lost, sadly, about biking down to the local rental store with your buddies to walk the isles and discover new games (& movies). The 80s & early-mid-90s was a great time, still innocent & real before the Internet.
I tried to keep my local rental stores open by being a regular customer; after Blockbuster failed, local chains popped up and they eventually all went out of business by the late 2010s and, by then, my kids were only babies, so I can never experience that with them.
Tough watching my kids growing up today, especially in the 2020s; I'm trying to enable that genuine childhood experience… but it just doesn't seem to exist anymore… too much change, and it isn't just the digital age…
