    I don’t know, I’d be worried if I did that then it wouldn’t hit the same for me the second time around. Who am I now compared to then? What state of mind am I in? I mean who knows how much a song or a a movie resonates with you has to do with where you are at that time?

      Fucking hell I wasn’t prepared for the existential questions when I entered this thread.

      100% there are songs and music that I adore that were heavily attached to who I was at the time, that, although I still adore, would not have the same impact now. Green day, RHCP, imagine dragons, all those are from different key times in my life that just would not resonate the same with level of impact today.

      I would most definitely lose that value if I eternal sumshined it

      Yeah I was thinking something similar. The first Game that came into my head was “Gothic” which I have played since forever (since ive been a little kid) and took me forever to beat for the first time. I don’t know if I would even start playing it today if I didn’t know and love it already. From my perspective today the graphics are outdated and the controls are clunky but it has such a unique heart.

    For a game it has to be Outer Wilds…

    And please do yourself a favor and play it the one time you’re allowed in this lifetime if you’ve not yet done it, as you can.

      My answer too.

      And also for the benefit of anyone who’s just played the base game: the DLC is basically a sequel, and I found it even more impactful than the base game!

      Damn. Really? I guess I’m lucky. I specifically avoided watching Deep Space 9 as a kid because TNG was on.

      I’ll live your dream for your buddy; I heard the show’s about a non-moving ship, which still has a captain for some reason, Benjamin Sisko or something

    Eternal Sunshine would be on my list for sure, hahah. Such an amazing film. It would also be incredible to listen to Scenes from a Memory or Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence again (two of Dream Theater’s best albums). Hard agree with the other person who mentioned Fullmetal Alchemist, too. Good question, OP!

    There are a bunch of games that you can only play once cause the puzzles are based on finding information. So these are my picks: Tunic , Outer Wilds, Return of the Obra Dinn.

      Oh man, Obra Dinn for sure. Nothing quite replicates that moment when all the pieces start to fit together. The game took me about 6 hours, I believe. Four hours were spent furiously trying to solve the puzzles, but the last two hours were a wonderful cascade of clues falling into place until I had a complete record of the ship’s crew and passengers. Masterpiece.

    For a video game, either Disco Elysium or Return of the Obra Dinn. Unforgettable first experiences that redefined what games are capable of in my mind.
