Minecraft. Started playing in 2011 and have played off and on every year since then. It’s now really popular again, but I distinctly remember around 2017-18 it became suddenly uncool to play. When I would be in a VC with friends while playing it, they would ride my ass for it. The ~10 year nostalgia/hype cycle is coming full circle lol
Since 2011 for me too. I sometimes step away for half a year at a time, but I always end up back.
As much as the modern image of Minecraft might be obnoxiously shouty youtube shorts, that’s not all there is to it.
You have the groups of talented builders recreating the Lord of the Rings world of Middle Earth at 1:1 scale, and then the crazy redstoners building fully working computers inside the game.
Minecraft has always been for everyone, and I hope it always will be.
