Serial Experiments Lain. I managed to acquire a bootleg Japanese VHS of the show (sans subtitles) in '99 or '00 and fell in love. I bought the English dub as soon as I could find it. I was totally obsessed, even going as far as carrying a messenger bag like Lain had, and making a custom Windows XP theme based on Navi. I even bought a Palm Pocket to mimic the smartphones shown in the show.
Lain shaped my passion for IT, and I feel it changed my life in profound ways.
I'm confused by the sudden popularity. It went under the radar for so long. Now all of the merch goes for insane amounts of money.
Shit man i bought that on dvd centuries ago

Rick and Morty was the show for me in the beginning even when the dumbasses showed up, but it lost its appeal after the scandal. Just doesn’t feel the same.
honestly it was getting a bit stale before, with its creator still onboard. its just that the scandal probably shooed people away all at once.

lmao about the /ss

While not to the same degree as a lot of folks, Fallout got into it some time around New Vegas because it was featured on game fly. Anyways delved headfirst into it and fell in love with the classic games. The post Fallout 4 boom gives me a headache sometimes I just want to talk with old bastards and my fellow autists about Fallout without some profligate butting in cause they watch the TV show.

Ratatat. I got into them through an Albino Blacksheep video, and they were my secret favourite band for a bit.
Then they got popular, and people that I didn't really jell with started casually raving about them, and I found it difficult to enjoy the music because of those people.
Years later, I grew up. Music is for everyone, and everyone forms their own relationship with it that shouldnt impact the enjoyment of the music itself.
Yes, they were sold on the band through mass advertizing channels. Yes, I discovered them through a more organic means. But that's how fans are born, and yes some of them aren't there for the music, but they are there to have a good time and maybe those songs hold special memories for them later in life when they were hanging around with friends.
Oooo I saw Ratatat the first time I got high on weed in public. They were incredible! I didn’t realize they got popular!

I remember that damn ad on TV back in in 2009. It was for SakuraCon, a annual Anime convention in Seattle.
I went there once with a group of friends. Made anime look uncool very fast.

if so then name your thing
Sort of I guess: em dashes.
Not to talk about, but to use when writing.
Now they are apparently the hallmark of AI-generated crap.I just got into them and I'll be damned if I'll let some toaster ruin a perfectly beautiful bit of punctuation
-
Same. I learned this was a thing just the other day.
I don't use them often but do find them nicer for parenthetical remarks sometimes.
Me too—sometimes

Two hyphens are an en-dash. Try 3 for em. Filthy casuals!
(Obvious /s but yea don’t mean to insult.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key
I set my caps lock key to the Compose Key (ck), and it changed the game for me:
- — is ck then "---"
- é is ck then "e" followed by '
- ° is ck then double "o"
- ½ is ck then "1" followed by "2"
I'm sure there's many more combinations, but honestly, I never intentionally used CAPS LOCK for anything.

Alt-codes are for nerds
- 60% gang
I really think more text formatting should do as mobile devices do and just auto convert two hyphens into an em dash. Make it simple, i beg.

The fact most people have now heard of it proves its popularity. It was a pretty obscure movie before the Hunger Games.

Tabletop RPG.
It used to be a niche of the internet in the early days, with people posting here and there their scenarios, campaign, ideas etc. It was hard to find and so pleasurable when you found something.Nowadays it's trusted by ... Wizard if the coast ? Online only platforms and what have you.
I loved #scenariotheque, but now it's almost a ghost website (pardon the french).
I know if sounds like old man yell at clouds, but damn do I miss the early days.

I don’t trust people who don’t have caps lock mapped to escape though, compose key or not.

Totally punk, you know what isn't? being an elitist about a music genres, specially punk
Idk if that's elitism. It's more calling a spade a spade. Punk at its core is about recapturing the simplicity and energy of early pre-british invasion rock. That doesn't really lend itself to ballads and concept albums. It's not about denigrating green day so much as finding a definition that fits them better.
