What did you get into as it was dying or otherwise on its way out? (leminal.space)

I feel like I do this a lot with podcasts. I started watching the Gus and Eddy podcast and finished it about a month before the last episode was released for example.

It could be anything though. An online game, an OS, a console, TV show, a forum, or anything else. I'm just curious what people have to say.

It also doesn't need to be "dead". It could just be a significant change where a chunk of the community left.

As a Plants vs Zombies fan, I tried PvZ Online during what was the final year. Same thing with the Yahoo Games Battle Cats.

Two browser games I gave up on after realizing they'd be closing the servers long before I could finish adventure mode in PvZ Online or get anywhere significant in Battle Cats.

There was a show on a local access cable channel in Austin back in the late 90s/early 00s called The Show With Know Name. It was hosted by Charlie Sotelo and his mysterious sidekick "Cinco" in the booth, and they'd just shoot the shit in between showing fun videos (the precursor to YouTubers reacting to viral videos). I discovered it one day while flipping channels, and I learned it was their second to last show after a ten year run. I had a sad.

Side note: Charlie Sotelo manages the SXSW Comedy festival, and he once punched Alex Jones in the fucking face.
