As the title of the post asked, is there anything that you are no longer a fan of/support?
Feel free to share any experiences you have that made you change your mind on something. These could something smaller such as deciding to no longer support or engage with a brand due to store clerk being a bit rude to you in one interaction, to you disliking the actions or direction taken by a corporation/creator/franchise.
I did want to note that while this thread can obviously veer in to the negative based on the question, it doesn't have to be. You could no longer being a fan of something could be due to your tastes changing over the years, or a life experience making you decide you want to change your habits.

Schedule
Month Game Host April 2026 Space Rogue May 2026 Sid Meier's Pirates June 2026 Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow July 2026 Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals August 2026 The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past u/Boojum September 2026 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Discussion Topics
Each month will have two discussion topics:
- "Insert Cartridge" - 1st of the month
- "Remove Cartridge" - 28th of the month (25th for February)
Insert Cartridge topics are primarily for getting the game set up and running. Remove Cartridge topics are primarily for reflecting on the game once you've played it. However, the game itself and anything else related to it can be discussed in either one.
Hosting
Each month, the discussion topics will be posted by a different "host" who will act as the emcee for that month.
Hosting is not required, but it is encouraged that people host months for games that they are either already very familiar with or that they are strongly interested in playing.
People who nominated a game will be given preference for hosting, otherwise it will be given to whomever claims it first.
Check out old months to get a feel for what it's like.
Required Hosting Responsibilities
- Editing the templates for the month's "Insert Cartridge" and "Remove Cartridge" topics.
- Posting the month's "Insert Cartridge" and "Remove cartridge topics.
Optional Hosting Responsibilities
- Talking up the game.
- Giving tips/tricks/guides/cheats.
- Sharing your own thoughts/memories/reflections.
- Asking questions.
- Anything else you feel like doing (e.g. setting up a multiplayer tournament, making game-related memes, sharing fun trivia, etc.)
If you would like to host a month, let me know which one and I will add you to the schedule.
Before your month begins, I will send you a "Hosting Package" featuring templates that you can edit to your liking.
If no one claims a month, I will host it as a fallback.

Do you have any obscure books that you really enjoyed that you haven't had a place to recommend or feel like more people should read/know about?
Feel free to share them here, hopefully with a brief description of the book and why you enjoyed it.I'm not putting a limit on number of reviews or that these have to be "hidden gems", but ideally lesser known works that have stuck with you, or you felt were great and feel like others might enjoy them as well.
