minus-squareGibsonhasafluffybuttlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·3 months agoI downloaded the Inspector Gadget cartoon thinking it’d be great to watch. Except I didn’t realise that if you had a crummy youth, nostalgia just brings back all the fear you used to feel. No more nostalgic stuff from childhood for me.
