When people ask things like "what mundane superpower would you have" this is basically my go to. I want to operate my brain like a computer, search for stuff, delete stuff I don't want, put it to sleep whenever I want, etc.

GenZ discovers thinking

Or what's that word I can't remember so I can make a clever reply?

So many books and movies and games I'd love to delete and experience again.

But then, it gets kinda complicated, doesn't it.

If I delete something I love there's chance I might not love it again even when I see it, because I'm a different person at a different point in my life.

Even worse, if I delete something that had big influence on the person I became, shaped my thoughts and feelings, continues even now to do so, does that change who I am?

I have been thinking that about Baldur's Gate 1+2 lately. Still great games and BG2 doesn't even look particularly dated (once you install a widescreen patch anyway). But I can't imagine that I'd have the patience to figure out the game system nowadays, and in new RPGs I vastly prefer turnbased combat over BG's 'real time with pause'.
