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. Iβm glad I was able to go into the fandom knowing what a train wreck the show was and also that itβs entirely possible the books will just never be finished, lol. Iβm 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...
Pogs. π
I got some pretty cool holographic metal slammers right at the tail end.
I love that!
I have INNOCENT and GUILTY slammers with OJβs face on them lawl
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 π
Anyone get a cyber truck in the last few weeks?
Do things count that I got into when it was already dead?
Sure I'd be happy to hear about them
Just about every anime I've been into. Transformers, the old PokΓ©mon series, all the Saban content I've fangirled over...
How are animes dead?
They aren't, just the ones I'm into.
Yeah, my bad. Didn't sleep at all this night.
My life.
Burning music to CDs. Still fun to listen to in the car.
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.
Got into Breaking Bad a bit after it had its series finale, but before Better Call Saul was a thing. I donβt know that the show has ever been βon its way outβ though, it just wasnβt being talked about as much at that point.
I got helldivers 2 a week ago.
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.
Iβd play PiU with you :c
I prefer DDR, but you can find me rockin Csikoβs Post any day
Anno online... Great game, got really into it, then realized it was on its way out... Sad times
Escape from tarkov :/
Just uninstalled earlier this week after years of sinking time into it. I watched the wiggle video and with the current developer drama, I'm fucking done. The game is simply INFESTED with cheaters.
Sometimes on the news or social media, I'll hear about some well-known musician, author, etc, who has died. There's been occasions where I check out their material and suddenly become a fan.
Have you heard of Daniel Dennett? Check him out.
Amateur radio. At this point it's a race to talk to old hams before they die.
Battlerite and OmegaStrikers
Kind of like that, I got into them as they were thriving, since it was on beta/release, but they died very quickly afterwards and it is a shame because nothing captures that feel for me, I like short burst competitive games like that, but I guess people generally arenβt into stuff like that.
E: And actually one more like that, the goatest of them all tbh, just been so long that i forgot about it, but this is one that is an awesome idea for anyone looking for some fun friend group comp game:
This last one is a damn shame, because there really is nothing like it.
Sriracha. I'm thankful to have found some fresh bottles recently, but they're hard to find
Huh I had no idea they paused production
Toys-to-life video games. I went on a Skylanders spending spree less than a year before it officially died. $5-$15 figurines got sold at garage sales for $0.25-$3 each.
I had tons of fun getting into it and I was young enough that I could afford to waste the money, so I regret nothing.
Searx, technoblade, vendetta, death battle, yuzu, other stuff i forgot about
Only after writing this list i realised that the post asked for stuff with a dead community, not an abandoned game
Searx?
Is there any other self-hosted search engine?
There is searxng, a fork of searx
Thanks!

As a Plants vs Zombies fan, I tried PvZ Online during what was the final year. Same thing with the Yahoo Games Battle Cats.
Two browser games I gave up on after realizing they'd be closing the servers long before I could finish adventure mode in PvZ Online or get anywhere significant in Battle Cats.
