As in, what's something you loved as a kid, found cringe as you get older, then gained a new appreciation for as an adult? Here are some of mine:

  • Pokemon. I expect this will be a common one. It's got cute creature designs and fun tactical battling, and since I've outgrown my shame at liking cute things, I'll happily keep coming back to it.
  • Yu-Gi-Oh. I still don't much care for the CCG (I'm opposed on principle to any game where your ability to win largely depends on how much money you're willing to sink into it), but the anime bursts with dorky charm and the video games are fun. A setting where reincarnated ancient sorcerers and billionaires are stone-dead serious about a children's card game is also a nice break from the modern plague of "well that just happened" Marvel soy banter.

    Minecraft. I just love building little cabins in the woods with nature-friendly paths wandering through forests. Leaving the trees alone as much as possible and building winding paths through picturesque terrain. Building little park benches and flower gardens along the way. I don't want to build fortresses, I want to build what I want to see in the real world.

      I've lost my login that I bought back when it was still in alpha :sadness:
