It’s true. I’ve stopped using sounds and songs that I enjoy as my alarm because of this. I haven’t used an actual alarm clock in years, but the sound of a circa-2000 electric alarm clock buzzer going off instantly activates my fight or flight mode.
Darklands - a cRPG released in 1992 by Microprose. It’s set in medieval Germany; you are a party of fledgling adventurers looking to build fame and money, and somehow you get pulled into a battle against the forces of the apocalypse. Instead of magic, you invoke saints and use alchemy to craft potions. I loved it when I was younger, and I still, somehow, enjoy it today.
If you hate the following things, then I highly recommend checking it out!
There once was a poster online
who stacked strawmen neatly in line
on a slope slick with spin
they kept sliding right in
declaring each fall a design
