I remember when I bought the first Gorillaz album. I wasn't a huge fan apart from Clint Eastwood and 19/2000. I stuck with it though, and now I really enjoy and appreciate the whole album. The reason I bring this up is because the idea of letting something grow on or challenge you is being lost.

Picked up the missing piece of the Digimon PS1 collection earlier this week! I really wanted to buy World when I was a kid, but I was too embarrassed in case someone at school found out. As an adult, I'm like "Fuck it. I'm getting Time Stranger" :V. (Oh yeah. I collect PS1 games :>)

I have no idea how I managed to complete Micro Machines V3 when I was a kid. I must have used cheat codes as the final cup is beyond brutal. I checked the fastest times on Retro Achievements and even the world records are slower than what the AI can do. You just have it hope it makes a mistake! Dx

I often feel like someone's grabbing my wrist and punching me with it at work.
Director: "Why is this project taking so long?"
Reality: "Because I'm getting bogged down with admin bullshit that's wasting my time"
Me: "Sorry"
Director: "I want you to give an update presentation"

The endless enigma of failing upwards. I was on holiday for a week and came back to an email chain. One of the slavedriver directors, who relentlessly keeps publishing papers and not crediting the grunts, getting annoyed at IT being like "What is this CSV? How do I open it? Give it to me as Excel"
