Replaying Carlsev Saga for the first time in many years...oh my god. It's really hard to play through your old games, especially when they're noob games.

I still have an old RM2k3 game I worked on in like, 2007 on a flashdrive somewhere. It was the great 'magnum opus' game we all imagined making when we were kids that I've had in my head for like fifteen years. I recently figured out what kind of format I'd finally want to present it in. Maybe someday I'll make it. I doubt it though.
Anyway, I played through that old game a couple years ago expecting it to be awful but it was actually only a little bad. I was shocked.

I've been playing some of my first games for a retrospective thing.
I tend to wonder how badly my brain was damaged at the time.

One of my mentors on Wikipedia calls it "strategic distance" - the longer we're away from our work, the more errors we find upon revisiting. Our memory is (usually) fairly limited; the further we distance ourselves from the project, the less we remember about it. We recall less about our logic at the time and simply approach it with less bias. Plus, our skills usually improve over time...
