Asking because there’s a TV show coming out soon that I’m excited for, but I’m having flashbacks of all the times I’ve had to wait up to two years for something to come out, often due to delays.

    I mean there are several things I still look forward to, but the grammar implies things that have already happened. I guess Dwarf Fortress with an actual GUI, so for around about a decade.

      This is a Lemmy comment. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with diorite spikes. On it is an inscription of a human sitting at a computer foaming at the mouth absolutely hyped. This inscription relates to the official release of Dwarf Fortress premium during the Third Age of Strife on the sixth of december in the year 2022. Overall, its prose is masterful and consise.

      Value: 1☼

    I’ve been waiting for Mass Effect 4 ever since the ending that shows Shepard as surviving the events of 3. Closer and closer. Granted, the recent Dragon Age isn’t giving me a lot of hope.

    The Winds of Winter? At this point though I’m not sure I’m actually waiting anymore.

      you know what, this is, probably mine also.

      I read all the books that were out before the show was even announced, and didn’t realize that the story wasn’t finished.

      then the show started and I was like oh well, at least they have to finish the novels before the TV show will be fully produced.

      joke was on me.

    They were marketing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (though not by name, because it didn’t have a name yet) *before the WiiU was released. And they strung everybody along until after the Switch was released.

    Fuckers! I was an early adopter of the WiiU because “well, I’ll for sure want one when the WiiU exclusive Zelda title comes out.”

    “looking forward to”: A week at most for the next episode of anime series or next chapter of the best book series “Ascendance of a bookworm”

    “Waiting and working towards”: Lifetime of yearning for feeling loved

    A bit silly. I picked up the Holy Mightstone quest item on my WoW paladin in like 2005, and decided to save it to use, someday, to get some RP revenge on Arthas. I held on to it until facing him down I’m WotLKs Icecrown Citadel raid, and used it on our first boss attempt. I want to say that was 7 years but I can’t be arsed to look it up.

    Immediately wiped, of course, but winning was never the point.

    Silksong 🥲 waiting since 2019, release window in 2023 was cancelled in the last month of the window, no communication since except “we’re still working on it”. Subreddit has gone crazy unlike anything I’ve ever seen, someone from there possibly offed themselves a couple weeks ago due to their shitposting.

    I can’t wait to read history books about it

    I’m looking forward to becoming a character in an action movie.

    Ya know, the guns-ablazing war movies, or some disaster movie where everyone is trying to survive, chaos everywhere?

    Maybe I could stop being bored and can enjoy some excitment in a irl movie plot

    except, I’d probably be the side character that dies in the first 10 minutes… 🙃
