It can be a movie, a scientific discovery, food, whatever

    The Nintendo Switch when it came out. I was super hyped and somehow the console even exceeded my expectations.

    Playing Breath of the Wild for the first time was amazing and even after 6 years the console still feels modern to me.

      I thought airpods/cordless buds were stupid when they first came out, I thought I would instantly lose the buds. now I can’t live without them.

      Sammmme. I was so against having to charge headphones to listen to them. No idea they would last as long as they did on one charge and my god do they perform well.

      I went to see the original Pirates Of The Caribbean movie knowing almost nothing about it and having no expectations other than air conditioning and cheap popcorn (a bit of a miracle to begin with). I think one of my friends said they heard good things about it. Turned out to be remarkably fun, so that’s a pleasant memory right there.

    Maybe a hot take, but Cyberpunk 2077. I didn’t experience most of the bugs people complained about and I loved almost everything about the game and world. It’s also only gotten better as they’ve patched it.

      For me, it could never live up to the hype. But I am glad some people have enjoyed it so much and it has come a hell of a long way since release. I’ve been playing recently but going to wait for the new DLC and restart.

        Same, I just restarted a few weeks ago, but the DLC looks like it’s worth restarting for, so I’m holding off until then.

      I know I was kinda blinded by the potential early on, bu the world is the most ambitious ever created in a video game. The fact that all of the missions use it at face value is really crazy IMO. The game is groundbreaking for that alone.
