Lemmy, is there a treasured piece of content that you stop yourself from going back to "too often" so as to not dilute it?

I do this for a few things, movies in particular. For me most recently, I’m planning on watching Bo Burnham’s Inside this weekend, for the first time since I watched it shortly post-release. I wasn’t really intending to wait checks watch nearly 3 years on that one, but I definitely felt it needed some space before a rewatch.

Anyone else treat certain pieces of media similarly?

Hot Tub Time Machine

cmbabul,

Goodfellas, it’s my favorite movie ever and I want to keep the wonder of the first time I saw it alive as long as possible

I’m not even a WoW fan, but as a gamer I appreciate the sentiment.

Varyk,

I replay Morrowind maybe every few years, and I’m able to enjoy it every time I play.

As for movies, I saw barbarian in the theater and I have waited to watch it again even though I loved it, until just last month when I reunited with an old friend who loves weird horror movies, and it was so good. We actually watched terrifier also, and I hadn’t seen that in a couple years. It was so much fun to watch those movies sort of fresh with someone I knew would enjoy them, there were parts in both movies that surprised me again.

Ehhhh, to a limited extent, Christmas movies. But it’s only partly so it doesn’t get diluted, it’s also because they’re kind of meant to be something to make the season a bit happier. They don’t work as well outside of the holidays, so why bother?

aeronmelon,

Now I wait until Christmas before allowing myself to watch Die Hard.

Lord of the Rings - Battle for Middle Earth. Great game from like 2004; there’s a super niche online community that still keeps the games downloadable and in great state.

On a completely different direction, if anyone is bored and wants to try K Dramas, check out Crash Landing on You - it’s about a woman who ends up in North Korea after a paragliding accident, and tried to escape.

Most comedy specials, the George Carlin post today reminded me of that. If you listen too frequently they’ll lose their punch, and you’ll stop listening to what they’re saying. Every few years I’ll listen to him (and a few other comedians) and it reminds me of everything
