I feel like I do this a lot with podcasts. I started watching the Gus and Eddy podcast and finished it about a month before the last episode was released for example.

It could be anything though. An online game, an OS, a console, TV show, a forum, or anything else. I’m just curious what people have to say.

It also doesn’t need to be “dead”. It could just be a significant change where a chunk of the community left.

    So many things…

    Game of Thrones, right before the last season came out. Glad I didn’t have to wait for the disappointment.

    Video games. I will wait 10 years to play a game I want so that the price goes down enough.

    AFI’s Sing the Sorrow album, until I gave it a fair chance years later.

      I got into ASOIAF maybe a year ago. I’m glad I was able to go into the fandom knowing what a train wreck the show was and also that it’s entirely possible the books will just never be finished, lol. I’m enjoying the shit out of youtube theory videos though!

      AFI are timeless poets. You could take their songs 100 years back in time and they’d still work.

      I, I came here by day
      But I left here in darkness
      And found you, found you on the way…

    Game of Thrones. I binged the whole 7 seasons right before 8 came out. I think I saved myself a lot of pain and wasted suspense. That ending was fucking embarrassing.

    Tumblr! I only joined shortly before all the wildly terrible business decisions killed it lol. Great memes from there would get cross-posted to my various platforms often enough for me to want to go, but I procrastinated until it was almosssttt too late…

    Now we got a fediverse version though 😈

      Oh me too, It’s so much fun. I’ve got a big binder of them in my car. I know nobody else who does, so I sadly can’t share my CDs.

    I got really into Star vs The Forces of Evil, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, and Adventure Time well after they each had ended.

      Star really grated at the beginning. Rich girl having rich girl problems with rich boy. There was no tension, nothing.

      Then they started introducing dark elements in there - monsters, her family’s dark past, the unspoken guilt of those they usurped. It got really good then

    I’ve forgotten the name but there was an “adult” MMO made for android devices that I played a while back. After I completed the tutorial, I was shown the announcements and it stated that the the game’s service was to end in about week.

    I feel like I should have more but I can’t remember anything else.

    Minidisc. My then-boyfriend bought me a recorder for Xmas 2002 and I was absolutely in love with it. I still use minidisc but I think for most people it was a flash in the pan - it didn’t have the staying power that I thought it would.

    Also ephedra - right before it was banned, all the women in my office went through the Atkins -> Xenadrine -> Pilates fads. Holy crap did that suck. Atkins made me stink (ketosis) and xenadrine make me shaky, dizzy, and irate. I was too poor for pilates haha. The entire office was miserable!

    Pump it up.

    I started playing in 2016, and it’s such a niche thing compared to what rhythm games used to be in the early 00s.

    I enjoy it but I almost always play alone.
