I wish I could agree. I was so disappointed when I played it earlier this year.

McDonald's Coke.
The water, the syrup, the mechanism, the ice, the cup, the straw - everything engineered and closely controlled to not only be great on it's own as a standalone drink/experience, but also SYNERGIZE PERFECTLY with their meals.
If you're going to McD's and not ordering Coke, you're doing yourself a disservice.
It's essentially a three star Michelin drink and meal, but priced at McDonald's prices and available and mass produced everywhere.

When I moved to Wisconsin back in 2006, House on the Rock was one of the first things I heard about from my neighbors to go see. My wife and I looked at the website and said "we'll go see it someday." Well, that day was about a month ago as back then we started having kids and getting used to living in a new place. However, over the past 19 years I've had people tell me that "you've got to go see it."
Now.... I understand.
Is that place a monument to a man's ascent to brilliance?
Or his decent into madness.
There was stuff in that museum that I took DAYS to process and I still really am unable to understand what it was I was looking at. It took my family and I FOUR hours to walk through it. It could have been a LOT longer if we actually stopped to study more than what we did.
I'm 55 years old and I've seen and done a lot things in my life... None of it prepared me for the sheer onslaught that is House on the Rock. Walking out of it I told my wife that I rather chaffed at the entrance fee when I paid it... Now, I'm not sure if they charged enough.
If you're ever anywhere close to South Central Wisconsin... Take a day and go see it.
It doesn't just live up to the hype... It so far exceeds it that trying to explain the place will never do it justice.

PC SSDs when they first came out, I saved $ and splurged for 256 GB over 128 GB. In the first week I was slightly upset I didn't save more $ and go for a big expensive 512 GB one. Immediately I was telling my other PC gaming friends it's going to revolutionize PCs in general, and to get one ASAP!
Edit: I can't remember shit for fuck, but the size I bought was probably quite smaller than 256 GB lol.

I ended up with an air fryer. It's still just a convection oven, but I use it constantly.

Oh, I had the opposite experience. Once I managed the courage to get on every single ride at Six Flags, I barely felt the last one I was on. It was fun, but the thrill of free-falling from 300 feet wasn't budging me by then.

Internet connection for cel phones. When I saw that WAP thing I thought "Why on earth someone will need this?".
Time will tell, but I start to think I might been wrong -

Coffee. My dad was in the navy in the 70s and you could tell by the tar he drank. Never got into it. Early 20s I got hired as a delivery boy for a coffee shop. A perk was that it came with free coffee drinks. Turns out I didn't hate coffee, I hated the swill my father brewed. Good coffee was quite good.

Linux and open source software.
Tested out a dualboot of Linux Mint about 2 years ago on a Windows laptop. Wanted to see how far I could get on 100% open source and free software.
I got far enough that I never looked back.

I got a Japanese sobakawa pillow that a ton of people recommended and it's incredible. I didn't know a hard pillow could be so comfortable.

Yeah, it's a bit too big but appart from that it's excellent

It really is indescribable. Just to give you an idea, even five seconds before totality is boring. It's day, a little darker than usual. Then, five seconds later, it's totality, and it's like the entire universe had been replaced by a magical fairy tale land.
Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2914
I wouldn't say five seconds before totality is boring; you can look up and see the tiny sliver of Sun as it winks out of existence, and see shadowy ripples on the ground from differences in air density. But that's still nothing compared to totality.
