Ask Lemmy

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.

I've never seen Lost, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or any of the rest of the mandatory drama television genre. I gave up partway through watching Battlestar Galactica and kinda just stopped watching television.

For awhile there, the only non-technical conversation I could have was "Did you see Game of Thrones last night?" "No, I don't watch that show." "Oh. Bye." Humanity's ability to talk about anything except heartburn drama television for the last decade and a half kind of weaned me off of socializing.

Someday, I am going to watch "The Notebook", and "Forest Gump", not on the same day.

Never seen any of the Lord of the Rings and have no plans to.

Never watched Game of Thrones or Stranger Things. (Or countless other shows)

Every single answer on this thread so far, except for titanic.

I know it's been out forever and a day, but Prometheus being in the Alien canon is kind of a spoiler.

Everything other than squid game, among us and minecraft

I have two of yours. honestly I just don't care what I might have or not seen. there is just to much that flies by to fast in modern times and everything is fractured. Everything that is a thing now likely was never watched by a majority of people. its not like when the broadcasters were the only game in town. even with cable their stuff was seen by more eyeballs because it was available. I remember folks who felt it was a badge of honor to not see stuff everyone has seen. like its a wonderful life.

I have bookshelves full of Superman comics, graphic novels, books, basically anything in print I can get my hands on. And I've read every last one of them. I grew up on Christopher Reeve Superman films and will still watch all 4 of them. I've watched the old Fleischer cartoons, Super Friends, the 90s animated series, and all Justice League shows. I own the entire Smallville series on DVD. I was one of the dozen or so people who subscribed to DC streaming service before Max. And I've watched every Superman movie and TV show that came out in the last 25 years.

I've never gone back and watched Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. There is no reason I've never watched it other than I just haven't gotten around to it.

I've never seen 2001: Space Odyssey, I already tried watching it multiple times, but always end up falling asleep.

Similarly, I've never managed to finish Firefly, usually watch a couple of episodes and forget about it.

Also up until very recently (less than 2 years ago) I had never played any Call of Duty games.

I can’t make it more than an hour though the first Lord Of The Rings without falling asleep. It just doesn’t fancy me.

I haven't watched a lot of movies in general, be it mainstream or indie. Completely my own fault, since I'm built different when it comes to setting up a roadblock for myself, in that regard.

I have only seen the first four episodes of Breaking Bad, I just could not get into it.
