It can be a movie, a scientific discovery, food, whatever
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.
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
- The Harry Potter books and films
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.
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
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
Vaccines. My uncle had Polio as a child and so my Grandmother was still advocating strongly for vaccines before her death at 98. I’m happy to have received my first Shingrix shot last week. It’s amazing we can get a poke, with something that’s completely gone from the body in a week but we will have T-cells protecting us for a very long time.
The Steam Deck. Awesome, awesome device.
Milk.
PCR
Minecraft. Still super fun and there are servers for literally everyone (from pure vanilla to factions to semi-anarchy and anarchy)
The film BOOGIE NIGHTS.
The Wire. It really is the greatest TV show ever made like people say it is.
- James Webb telescope
- 🍕
- Dirty Dancing 😉
LeBron. He came out of HS as the “chosen one” and dominated the NBA most of his career. He could have easily have crumbled under the pressure and instead ended up being a top 3 all time player.
