It can be a movie, a scientific discovery, food, whatever
Tv, The internet, the smallpox vaccine
E-bikes.
I got a couple of electric scooters for me and my gf to fuck around on. Ended up selling my car.
Yeah I occasionally hire one of the escooters they have around town. They’re a blast. Been thinking about selling my car and just buying my own
The Nintendo Switch when it came out. I was super hyped and somehow the console even exceeded my expectations.
Playing Breath of the Wild for the first time was amazing and even after 6 years the console still feels modern to me.
Yep, every time someone mentions how long it’s been out, it surprises me again. It still ‘Nintendo’s brand new console’ to me.
I feel you. The PS3 is still “last generation” to me and a Core 2 Duo still feels like a powerful new processor.
Bluetooth earbuds. Took me the longest time to buy a pair. Now I have them all the time.
I thought airpods/cordless buds were stupid when they first came out, I thought I would instantly lose the buds. now I can’t live without them.
More recent one, but tears of the kingdom is really the game I wanted it to be. Game of the year, maybe of the decade :D
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
- The Harry Potter books and films
Minecraft. Still super fun and there are servers for literally everyone (from pure vanilla to factions to semi-anarchy and anarchy)
The Steam Deck. Awesome, awesome device.
The film BOOGIE NIGHTS.
Milk.
Maybe a hot take, but Cyberpunk 2077. I didn’t experience most of the bugs people complained about and I loved almost everything about the game and world. It’s also only gotten better as they’ve patched it.
I know I was kinda blinded by the potential early on, bu the world is the most ambitious ever created in a video game. The fact that all of the missions use it at face value is really crazy IMO. The game is groundbreaking for that alone.
For me, it could never live up to the hype. But I am glad some people have enjoyed it so much and it has come a hell of a long way since release. I’ve been playing recently but going to wait for the new DLC and restart.
Same, I just restarted a few weeks ago, but the DLC looks like it’s worth restarting for, so I’m holding off until then.
