I used to go on holiday every year in a cottage on the cliffs near East Yorkshire, UK. In about 1998 it was condemned so we moved to holiday park just up the coast.in about 2014 some big storms happened and we came back and all the homes on the whole seaward side of the road were gone and the old inlandside were now clifftop with a new road behind

My only game I think on steam with over 1000 hours is one I have played on and off with friends over the years. For the other examples, I can't say I have done those, but if I get hooked on something, I just kind of lose track of time and dont really pay attention to how much I am putting into it.

The World Of Sid And Marty Krofft in Atlanta. It was a mindfuck of an indoor amusement park located in what's now CNN Center. Granted, it was only open for six months in 1976, but I was able to go, and as a six year-old kid, it was amazing.

House MD (with Hugh Laurie) there were two cuts of the opening theme depending what region it was teardrop by massive attack or bab O'Reily by the who. And then often closing to "can't always get what you want" by rolling stones

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 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.

For All Mankind and Foundation's are both incredible. Didn't skip them once. Someone over at Apple TV really cares about strong openings.

Star Trek Voyager
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
The Returned (Original French version)

goldenbug,

I'm pretty sure Buffy's intro is the reason why I like rock.
