What did you get into as it was dying or otherwise on its way out? (leminal.space)

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!

That can be double edged. I just got into the trails series, and discovered that the early games are all collectable.

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...
