minus-squaremanualoverride@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down1·2 months agoAh, but do the new stickle bricks come pre-impregnated with play-doh, marmite, jam and snot? I don’t think the experience would be the same without that sticky texture and combination of aromas.

Same with retro computing, you can purchase an old C64 or Atari, but not the same without the wood paneling, ugly furniture, and ashtrays.
