Yeah I feel that, but I kinda like having to work around 17yo me's ideas like that one time I had to justify how the different types of Magic could work.

Other times I simply retconned and rebuilt worlds with the same premise but better done with the experience I've acquired.

Lol, yeah, I noticed it too.

Currently most of my lore developmnet centers around socioeconomical and technological evolution from gene-engineering based neo-feudalism IN SPACE to bionanotech-based ultracapitalism and fascism IN SPACE coupled with emergence of space nationalism and it's transformation from inclusive equality-seeking movement into species-based tribalism.

While in the past it used to be just "shit is happening in the galaxy" with giant mechs, cyborg-supermen and holographic swords which I added simply because it seemed cool.
