Committed to the bit
For an 80s high school themed game my wife and I trawled the local charity shops for records, comics, books, a retro handbag, school notebooks. Bought a trophy, a Bowie wig, neon pencils. Contributed a Rubiks cube, cassette tapes, and a clipboard. Printed detention slips, mocked up a campus map, a code of conduct, as well as all the actual game cards. Is that too much? It looked like quite a bit on the table. But it's fun.
The people who played are pretty excitable. They got dressed up. They appreciated it. It's mostly used stuff. The Bowie wig is new but I've no doubt my wife will be wearing that again.
I don't want to let the fear someone might think it's 'too much' or 'cringe' stop me from doing fun things and doing fun things for other people. I don't want to like things ironically. I just want to like them.
If I'm doing the bit I'm committing to it. I may not do it well but that's a whole other kettle of fish.
