I seem to remember things in glimpses, kind of like how one might remember a dream.
I can remember bits and pieces of my childhood, or even just last year, but never in detail. It's sort of like flash images. I can remember 'things' though, as in concepts and things I've done, if I think long enough, and those could summon more flash images. But very rarely more than a few seconds of 'video'-like memory.
I saw a picture of an old game Crash Bandicoot on Reddit. I saw the mask he wears in the image. Just a couple days ago I was talking with a friend at work about Crash Bandicoot and how I used to play that game as a kid, but the details of the game like certain levels, or even that signature mask he puts on to level up, didn't come to mind. Now that I think about it more I can remember more details about the game. I suppose it's possible I wasn't putting effort into activating the memory at the time in the midst of conversation.
It would be more fun if I could recall things like that mid conversation. I could've tried to replicate the noise he makes when he puts on the mask, or even just mention the mask.
What's your memory like? Is it pretty vivid and detailed?
