Just as examples:

  • I've never played a Pokemon game despite being just the right age where my peers were really into gen 1 as a kid.
  • I have yet to watch any of the Alien or Predator franchise movies (except Prometheus, which I didn't realize was in the Alien franchise when I watched it long ago) but am planning on rectifying that when I can get a chance.
  • Oh, and I've never seen the "hawk tuah" video.

I technically only played my first pokemon game (official) on emulator around 2020, despite my brother having gen 1, so I wouldn't feel too bad about that personally.

Anyways, some people would probably look at me weird for never having played games like any Resident Evil games or any of the Mass Effect games or really many games like them (BioShock series not included, love those games). Same thing for anything Final Fantasy (excluding 10 on PS2, which I never finished and lost the memory card with my save file). Name just about any game over the past decade that won awards at a big game show and there's a real good chance I've never played them once. Never played on a Wii U (a blessing), Xbox past 360, or anything past PS3.

I have also never seen most of the marvel Rickey Rats owned films. Same with a lot of live action films. Name a real popular one to come out over the past decade, maybe decade and a half, and I probably have not seen it (Sonic not included because I actually enjoyed the first couple and cannot wait to eventually see the third despite the VA of Shadow). Hell, even growing up I didn't watch many live action films because I just didn't care compared to the amazing world of animated cartoons, so my knowledge of live action films is a lot lower than my cartoon knowledge.

Speaking of cartoons/animation, I have never watched a single episode of Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kono Suba, or JoJo, among an absolutely massive list of anime that currently have relevance and such that are currently popular and in people's minds. Also never seen influential older stuff like YuYu Hakusho or Fist of the North Star either.
