There used to be an ice cream place near where I grew up. Old style bar with stools to sit at while you ate ice cream and a huge ball pit with a slide. I loved that place growing up and it's sad that kids now can't experience it. I'm sure there are places like that out there somewhere, but not anywhere close to that area.
If this water park is “across the street” (freeway) from an amusement park I think I know what you’re talking about. If not, then my answer is the same. Water park that my family went to and it closed in 2020. I miss not having worries and playing in the water. And also how Dippin dots was the ice cream of the future (for decades now)
Just video rental stores in general. In my area there was a little rental place called "video to go". It was a small, and probably unremarkable as far as video stores go. Pretty much your stereotypical small town rental place. Every once in a while my dad would take us there to pick out a movie and some snacks for the evening.
That place went out of business long ago, and you can't even recognize the building anymore it's been remodeled so many times. We had a family video move into town after video to go went under, and they stuck around until family video went out of business. I miss being able to actually go somewhere to pick out a movie rather than mindlessly flipping through a streaming catalog.
The Texas from my childhood, most Texans dont give a shit about identity politics, you would think there are a bunch of brown hating cowboys - that was not the case Texas was incredibly tolerant.
I feel the same way about my home state. The hate and bigotry in the area is just heartbreaking. Maybe I was just too young to see it was always there.
Same with the driving beat from the Arrow title card — in fact I'm a big fan of Blake Newly in general, but it's the track "Setting Up the Lair" from the first season that plays most of my favourite elements.
But the title sequence that stands out best for me is the 2010 version of the Doctor Who theme. The music from that season in particular has always hit me hard, but all of Murray Gold's work on the show was phenomenal.
Setting Up the Lair is totally on my workout playlist! Blake Neely really knows how to write a score that keeps me pushing when I start to run out of gas.
The opening for the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime (Ready Steady Go by L’Arc-En-Ciel) is burned into my mind forever. For some reason it makes me cry a little bit now.
The key is to do it frequently, but not for a long period of time. You will become exhausted if you play the same game for 6 hours every day.
I spend about two hours playing the same game every day or two. However, They constantly add new content. (TFT, WoW)
Or, when we are on a voice call, my friends may play a game (such as Tetris, Shapez, or Diablo) that is different from mine so that they don’t have to try too hard to maintain focus.
Here's a bit of an unusual answer. The TV show Corner Gas is a Canadian comedy set in small town Saskatchewan. I grew up in a small town in Saskatchewan, so loved the show (it's also objectively very funny). It's a show I watched a lot as a kid, probably more times than anything. And that was all before the ages of being able to skip intros, so the iconic theme song (which references a very popular joke about Saskatchewan) was heard a lot.
Mostly I think I'm just nostalgic about it. I really hated growing up in a rural area and the show was literally the only one I had at the time that felt local (Sask isn't exactly a well known place).
Babylon 5 : The opening monologue and music score was amazing every time. Definitely an older vibe with this one with flashing images of the cast up as it progressed, but it was very good.
Westworld Season 1 : I think it was mainly the same for later seasons with slight variations. The simple piano tune building for the whole intro was beautiful and while watching back to back would absolutely let it run maybe every other episode, or every third.
Eureka Season 1 : The score by Mothersbaugh and quirky art is really fun and conveys the definite style of the show.
