I don’t like purchasing anything that’s randomized, and the surrounding culture is too competitive for my tastes. I also had a former friend who, years ago, got very addicted to MtG and devoted almost all his money and time to building decks so he could compete in tournaments. Mmo games. I just found I have an allergic reaction to these style of games, though I will admit my one exception was City of Heroes. LARP: tried it. Not for me. Warhammer/40k/and friends: I discovered I had more fun painting the miniatures than actually playing the game.Game of Thrones spinoffs: Many acquaintances want me to try the spinoff shows, but after the first series ended I just can’t bring myself to care about Martin’s universe or characters any more. A fair amount of Anime: there have been anime shows I do actually like, so I won’t condemn an entire medium, but I check out quickly from the really tropey ones. I hate the ones that devolve into 2 characters endlessly fighting each other while they call out their battle moves and keep evolving new, even more powerful and absurd abilities out of their respective behinds.</blockquote>
