I really like this post because I can definitely relate. When I first started playing Minecraft, I would spend countless hours playing and creating worlds. I remember I always had a favorite one with cool stuff in it. I really like how you associate your old MacBook pro and overlooking the fact that it was so old because you were able to start your Minecraft career on it.
As a fellow Minecraft connoisseur, I found your blog post very relatable to my first experiences of Minecraft. However, I may have to disagree with you about "losing the new car smell". In my opinion, minecraft still continues to be a game that completely gratifies me as much as when I first played it.
I really like your analogy of a new-car. I agree that it is usually so much fun to learn something from the start. When I wrote about this prompt, I also chose a video game, because I also thought it is so much more fun to learn about it, and redo the entire learning process.
A lot of people had the joy of playing minecraft in it's early days where its about purely being creative. The game now feels really modern and I miss the more traditional feel of minecraft where it was just really simple. I think we all had that experience of having that bliss of a new game that you wish would never end.
I love the analogy with the new car smell. It's great to see that so many people share the same experience. My first playthrough of minecraft was on a laptop whose screen didn't work, so I connected it to a external screen my dad brought from work, and whose charger had to be soldered every other week. For me minecraft was a way to make up for friends I didn't have in school. It gave me a sense of community and connection like almost no other game could.
