Definitely made some poor choices in life due to these that I could scream into a pillow. The future is always unpredictable, but while behind the scenes I'm sure a lot happened, more than a decade later the use cases are still the same - grifting.
the thin plucked eyebrows (2000s).. I'm now trans masc and wish i had them back lol
Chain link (LINK) crypto.
Should have stuck with Dogecoin.

Good job everybody!
Pfff as if i could afford to make that mistake
Chia cryptocurrency. My dad got into it, and the price was mooning. Gave me an excuse to build a new PC and learn linux, so I thought it was a worthwhile investment. Sunk a decent chunk of change into hard drives that I still have laying around, but I'm using several of them and have a sweet gaming rig that I would've built eventually anyway and had something to talk to my dad about. So basically, just out the cost of some drives. All in all, it was a calculated risk that didn't pay off.
I thought touch screens would be a fad. I dont fall for hype but thats because Im an idiot, not because Im smart.

KSP2
Can't get it refunded now
That's definitely a lesson
After a couple thousand hours in KSP1, I still managed to dodge that bullet. The only new feature I really cared about was multiplayer, and I knew it wasn't going to happen when they they started early access without it.
I don't know, the ksp redux project that a lot of the ksp2 modders are working on sounds pretty promising.

When I was a young idiot, I really thought Clonaid was gonna be a thing. I guess I thought it was plausible because I grew up reading a fuckton of scifi and Dolly the Sheep had been born a couple years prior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Life.
Anthem
I fell for New World myself.
Even played the beta and saw how empty it was, but nope I continued on.

Stalker 2.
I didnt just buy the game once, I paid for a "collectors edition" with a bunch of physical merch that I wont see until may or june. and even briefly volunteered to be a community mod. sifting through waves of hateful filth from hostile actors within the "community". there is a LOT of Russian incited hatred against the game because of the fact the game was Ukrainian
I got incredibly hyped for the game because I had been waiting for it since the late 2000s. watched it die and come back from the dead, and it looked awesome.
the sad reality was that it needed more time in the oven, and I dont think they had a choice. I think they were forced to release it in the state that it was because they couldnt afford another year of no sales and surviving off investors and pre-orders. so what we got was like a 7/10 and it needs a lot more work.
and the political situation in their country where as many as 1/3 of the staff still live and work, is tenious by the day, they are absolutely fighting World War III over there. and some countries are trying to stab them in the back, telling them to just go surrender and get murdered..
Crypto. I didn’t spent a ton, but I didn’t make a ton either. I’m net up now but it’s so stupid.
I made 2K on Doge a few years ago, but ever since I’m just sitting on it. It’s not a loss unless you sell.
