Good job everybody!
When I was a young idiot, I really thought Clonaid was gonna be a thing. I guess I thought it was plausible because I grew up reading a fuckton of scifi and Dolly the Sheep had been born a couple years prior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I thought touch screens would be a fad. I dont fall for hype but thats because Im an idiot, not because Im smart.
Soon as the Gorilla Arms problems start popping up we’ll see the leopards.
Anthem
It still hurts
Life.
KSP2
Can’t get it refunded now
That’s definitely a lesson
After a couple thousand hours in KSP1, I still managed to dodge that bullet. The only new feature I really cared about was multiplayer, and I knew it wasn’t going to happen when they they started early access without it.
I don’t know, the ksp redux project that a lot of the ksp2 modders are working on sounds pretty promising.

Crypto. I didn’t spent a ton, but I didn’t make a ton either. I’m net up now but it’s so stupid.
I made 2K on Doge a few years ago, but ever since I’m just sitting on it. It’s not a loss unless you sell.
Stalker 2.
I didnt just buy the game once, I paid for a “collectors edition” with a bunch of physical merch that I wont see until may or june. and even briefly volunteered to be a community mod. sifting through waves of hateful filth from hostile actors within the “community”. there is a LOT of Russian incited hatred against the game because of the fact the game was Ukrainian
I got incredibly hyped for the game because I had been waiting for it since the late 2000s. watched it die and come back from the dead, and it looked awesome.
the sad reality was that it needed more time in the oven, and I dont think they had a choice. I think they were forced to release it in the state that it was because they couldnt afford another year of no sales and surviving off investors and pre-orders. so what we got was like a 7/10 and it needs a lot more work.
and the political situation in their country where as many as 1/3 of the staff still live and work, is tenious by the day, they are absolutely fighting World War III over there. and some countries are trying to stab them in the back, telling them to just go surrender and get murdered…
Got married. 0/10 would not recommend.
Tell us the tale?
Not stuck anymore but I was for like a month. I bought Pretty Litter cause multiple drag queens I liked told me to do so. That is the worst goddamn litter I have EVER used in my life. The smell was horrendous, the dust was so so bad I actually couldn’t even be in the next room when my partner did the litter because of my allergies, and our house looked like a fucking beach. Fuck those people. (And shame on me for falling for goddamn ads)
I haven’t been hyped for anything since Godzilla Minus One came out (which more than lived up to my expectations). I do have to live with my parents buying into the hype of owning a new home. So I’ll be stuck inheriting a pile of shit that’s going to be falling apart by then instead of their old house that was rock solid.
An Indigogo electric bike campaign… 10 years ago. It was a scam and I lost a lot of money. Subsequently I have built 5 e-bikes on my own and do not regret it, they are wonderful. But, no crowd-funding for me, ever again. Also, I am anti pre-ordering anything in general.
Do you have any resources on how you built said five bikes? I would love to work on something like that this spring
Pretty much anything Elon Musk. I used to be an Elon Musk fangirl up until 2018, then each successive year was like the cutscene of Crash Bandicoot having all the boxes he’s missed falling on his head.
With 2018 you are waaaaaaay ahead of the most other people.
2018 was when he called the diver a pedo? That was the moment for me. I thought he was an awkward nerd trying to make electric cars a thing against all odds, an underdog. That was the moment I looked more into him and saw his wrong I was.
Word for word, same. That shit was so fucking left-field, stupid, toxic, and offensive that it broke the camel’s back, hard
I never fall for hype, never pre-order. life is good
I’ve only bought a couple early access games, but in both cases I played the demo long enough to justify the purchase price.
I stopped watching movie trailers years ago. Now, my friends just tell me, “Go watch this movie,” and it’s made for an amazing movie-watching experience.
For example, I walked into the theater to watch The Lighthouse without knowing anything about it.
Movies are so much better when you have no idea what to expect.
Oh, no! They’ve fallen for the “don’t pre-order” hype!
Music. Way too many albums are that one decent song you hear on the radio and 38 minutes of filler shite, and you could never take it back to the shop to get a refund for being full of shite. So all my music is pirated first, purchased second, and anyone that objects to this is basically admitting that their industry is based on selling shite that can’t be refunded.
I bought the finger eleven CD. So, can confirm. I also bought Cult Ceremony, thinking it would be anything like Sonic Temple. This just means I don’t learn.
album sales can’t be refunded? I bought one physical CD, and one full album for download. Never wanted to refund either purchase, never found out that it’s not possible. But really? It’s not possible to get a refund from buying a physical album?
Have you thought about having better taste and listen to bands other than one-hit wonders ?
