Just things in periods of time where at first, you didn’t care about it but then comparing to the way things are now, to then, you soften a little to where you kinda wished that you got a little more involved on.

I personally wished that sometimes I would’ve been there to actively watch and follow a few channels on YouTube in their heyday. Because I just learned recently that the Gaming Historian was ceasing doing gaming-history content and I watched that announcement video, wishing I could’ve been there since Day 1 to follow the path all the way until that end.

Another that I still sometimes wish I could experience from the beginning is 2 Sense, that old online radio show I mentioned to someone a couple weeks ago when I asked another question about what do you listen to over and over about. I got into that show sometime in mid-2008, but by then, a lot of the earlier stuff were already long done by the time I started listening. The show at the time, really opened my eyes to a lot of the world, even when there were things about the show that I could say, I could go without. But, I think it would’ve helped kick off my maturity just a little earlier if I had dived into that show when it began and follow it.

    I wish I had been more actively involved in the rave scene in the 90s, I went to a ton of them and was on the email lists and vrave (telnet raver chat) but I wish I had gotten more into the productions and helping to plan, set up, decorate and all that, I did help out once with one smaller barn party because I had a friend of a friend who ran an info line and was involved. I was just a teenager though, It was a wonderful time anyways. Hope that counts.

    I wish I wouldn’t have wasted the last 15 or so years of my life when my body was still functioning mostly alone with way too much alcohol lol

    I wish i tried more of the social aspects of the internet in 2005. I was active in many spaces but i never chatted because i only cared about the game.

    I wish i gave edm more of a chance when i was younger. When i first started hearing it. i turned my nose up at it because i liked metal and thought edm was dumb. But now i enjoy it and the community around it is great and i missed out on some amazing concerts because i was not open enough to new things.
