    Wrt to gaming and other entertainment media, it’s only easy to find the gems now because the dirt has mostly been sifted out of the old stuff. There’s a reason you still hear people talking about Cowboy Bebop, and not Brain Powerd

    Then again you also hear people talking about Elfen Lied but not NieA_7, so what do I know?

      Yeah that’s also true, tbh I’ve been notorious for not getting into’ anything - I don’t personally follow game news or hype much in the last 10-15 years, I’l wait until my friends pressure me into ‘you have to consume X!’, often well after it’s out and forgotten. I let my friends be the canary in the gold mine, still not sure if that makes me a bad friend… Has helped me avoid amazing TV shows that get cancelled/shit the bed though (still haven’t forgiven GoT producers)
