It can be a movie, a scientific discovery, food, whatever
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.
Sammmme. I was so against having to charge headphones to listen to them. No idea they would last as long as they did on one charge and my god do they perform well.
Tv, The internet, the smallpox vaccine
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.
E-bikes.
I got a couple of electric scooters for me and my gf to fuck around on. Ended up selling my car.
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
Milk.
The film BOOGIE NIGHTS.
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 Lord of the Rings trilogy
- The Harry Potter books and films
The super mario movie. I went in expecting it to be good, and I enjoyed it far more than I was expecting
I went to see the original Pirates Of The Caribbean movie knowing almost nothing about it and having no expectations other than air conditioning and cheap popcorn (a bit of a miracle to begin with). I think one of my friends said they heard good things about it. Turned out to be remarkably fun, so that’s a pleasant memory right there.
Smartphones.
