What I mean is like, what do you think is unironically awesome, even if people now think its cringe or stupid?

    I was an early adopter of No Man’s Sky (long before the shift in public perception), and I fucking loved it back then, and love it now as well. But admitting that in public a few years back was tantamount to saying that stapling your child to a rabid badger was a great alternative to hiring a babysitter.

      I actually preferred the early days, I don’t like most of the recent updates and I haven’t played in probably a year. I can’t really explain why except now it feels too busy.

      Dude, next time use a healthy badger and you’ll only have to deal with blowback from NMS.

        A space exploration video game. It had a famously bad launch, because the director had over-promised on basically every single feature. It was massively anticipated because the director had hyped it up so much. And when it launched, players quickly discovered that many of the promised features were only half finished, or were missing entirely. The backlash was swift, but the company said they planned to keep working on the game.

        And now many years later, the game is actually fairly solid, and basically meets the original promises. But at launch, it definitely didn’t.
