    Play Conkers Bad Fur Day on N64 with my childhood friends. Even if I’m an older man with my younger version and his friends.

    I am very open to weird shit happening thanks to a ghost encounter when I was younger. Oh man I would love to talk to younger version of myself where the memory was fresher, everyday that goes by feels more like it was a dream but I know it wasn’t.

    Wait a few years.

    LAN parties, $5 personal pizzas and 6 packs of preferred off brand soda, and a garage full of Xbox’s and tvs. Halo with friends is a cherished memory.

    I would prevent a couple deaths or at least warn to be cautious driving in bad weather and not to play with guns.

    I would also try to prevent the loss of story telling due to all kinds of crazy studio reasons with the Halo video games.

    I would try to meet John Prine and Ryo Fukui.

    I would possibly not use crystal meth, if there wasn’t a trip to rehab and moving to a new city to start a new life I would’ve never met my wife.

    Invest in a few companies, then invest in Bitcoin right from the start, invest some more,. become the first trillionaire by 2010, use my influence to become sort of a benevolent dictator to push for actual democracy, and eventually get multi millionaires prohibited by having counties simply place hard caps on net worth (app beyond a certain level goes to taxes)

        Actually 2002 was pretty good in terms of climate change. The only big ass car was the van, the ford truck and explorer. Everyone else was barely getting into SUV space wasting. Catalytic converters were a daily thing and you had to pass smog just like today.

    Someone isn’t a millennial and now made me feel extra old. They really looked at a pic of the 80’s and figured it was close enough.

    Invest in all the right stocks, then use that new Internet cyber-thing to promote the relationship between a famous blowhard conman and world’s biggest child sex trafficker, and get them both thrown in prison, then invent eBay, PayPal, and Reddit.

    Write a detailed cautionary tale about the future in the form of a cyberpunk novel that either doesn’t gets published or that is largely received as a cool roadmap instead of a warning.
