</div>Never played fighting games myself outside of Smash for a bit. I like the art, style, lore, and "flair" of a fair number of them, just found them too repetitive to ever "git gud" at.
I think I played World of Warcraft for maybe 5 minutes once 14-15 years ago (or so), so I think it counts. Parents wouldn't pay for it, our internet sucked, and they thought those games were a huge waste of time and energy (tho, TBF, I get where they are coming from there). Technically I could afford it now, but like, why would I at this point? I have so many single player games to catch up on as is! Same goes for any of the WoW wannabees like Guild Wars, Rift, etc. Same reasons as WoW.
</div>Same and the mechanics are just way too complicated for me to get into most of them, i'm happy to just watch playthroughs of most of them on Youtube by people far better then me.
</div>Never cared about MMOs myself, I just wasn't the type of person that felt like I had to play games with other people and preferred playing by myself and WoW's generic fantasy setting didn't appeal to me in the slightest.

The BlazBlue lore good
I'm nothing but a mass of concrete yet my heart is calling my name
also, my hero academia, which is surprising for me because I was REALLY into anime in like 2016-2018 when the fandom was at its peak (debatably.) I pretended to like it, which was the funny part, but i've never actually gotten past episode one.

By episode three they throw away the whole "MC doesn't have a Quirk" premise which is incredibly stupid.

seriously?? I was under the impression that was like. the ENTIRE plot. what is it even about??
</div>It's honestly pretty hard to explain since I was pretty young when Doctor Who suddenly blew up in popularity in the 2010s and from what I know, it seemed to be a pretty big deal for a good while and the era with the 9th to 11th doctors seemed to really strike a whole ruckus over here in the United States and part of me wonders if it's because of the charm of the actors who played the Doctor (David Tennant and Matt Smith especially) and/or the whole look to the show in general, especially in comparison to earlier seasons back in the 20th century.
I was just one of those people who really liked Doctor Who because it had things that really scratched a certain itch in my brain and I grew attached. I never thought much on the whole popularity part, but I did eat up the fan content people were coming up with.
When I think of it now, it's a little baffling to me on how much a big phenomenon it became, but I also understand it; Doctor Who was the coolest thing ever. Plus, I guess people just really like British media.
</div>Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I would imagine it would have been pretty nice to start getting more "exclusive" merch and experiences and specials that you wouldn't have gotten before. And finding new fans in a new community would be pretty neat too. Not to mention, more demand to get "older" things from the series, just like when a new series is released and takes off, we suddenly get access to the "older" versions of that series more often and more conveniently. Finally, it's also pretty neat when a "foreign" series gets popular and the original country gets some love too. Especially when it's something as "quintessionally" British as Doctor Who!
Sort of like a lot of anime products now-when anime was far more niche, you had to try to import SO MUCH stuff from sketch import sites or go to a con and risk bootlegs or find some specialty store hours away in a big city, but now we get so much of the more "exclusive" products that only could be found in Japan right here in our OWN stores. Complete with the Japanese writing. I was floored when I saw a somewhat obscure English-subbed light novel "visual novel adaptation" for sell at a local GAMESTOP-like you would have had to find some far-flung Suncoast store to find such a thing 20 years ago! (assuming your small town or STATE even had one of those, mine didn't I think)
I will say it is possible to brute force your way through a lot of MGS, you don't have to be stealthy ALL the time, in fact I Rambod my way through most of MGS3 and 4 and it's a perfectly viable strategy for V. So i'd recommend giving them a shot on the easier difficulties, stealth isn't a "must" unless you're playing on the hard modes.
I've never touched the Ace Attorney series personally as it's not really my thing.
Do you remember which Rick and Morty episode it was? cause there are some not-so-great that could give one a bad impression of the show.
Hey sorry for the delay, it was the episode where the dog gets a transformer suit, this would have been between 2013 and 2015 probably. So this was before the show blew up in popularity and get overexposed IMO (even my partner, who considers himself a fan, fell off after the first 3 seasons or so). At the time, I think it was "just another show" on Adult Swim?

For me it was the Twilight movies. I was a kid when they came out and I remember a bunch of girls from my class asking me if I was Team Edward or Jacob, and I had no idea what they were talking about haha. It never really appealed to me anyway so I never watched them lol

Same here, after seeing the sparkling vampires in trailers I had zero interest in going anywhere near them or the books, only ever seen parodies of it. Sad part is the original pitch for the first film(which was described as "Blade in high school")actually sounded promising but unfortunately they apparently decided to be faithful to Meyer's terrible writing.
