Over time peoples taste and inclinations change, and in some cases something they used to like they now do not, or even actively despise. Is there anything you used to enjoy that you no longer do?

Anime: Used to watch it a lot when I was younger, but generally I find it incredibly painful and insipid these days. There are exceptions, and I don't discount it completely, but for the most part can't stand it.

Star Wars: Between screwing around with the originals and the god awful prequels I just don't have much love left for the franchise. What little I do seems more driven by inertia then genuine desire.

Games Workshop: Not going to beat a dead horse with why, but it fits so it gets listed.

FPS Games: Used to play them tons but these days, not that much. Don't despise the genre, but I guess I have a lower level of interest in it today.

Crime Drama: I also used to watch a lot of Law and Order. A lot of Law and Order. And once you've seen every season of the king, nothing else will do. Fortunately there are now Dramadies to entertain me

Sleeping 12+ hours a day
Anime as well
FPS as well

I used to be partial to heroes but now I rather like villains.

Same.


I'll throw in there various bands. Ozzy, Muse, and various other bands fit in this category.

Also used to thoroughly enjoy shows like CSI, JAG and the like.

The History Channel.... right around the time that they all bust ceased showing history.

American Football. For me this boils down to one simple act: the discovery of Rugby

As I near 30, I find I love super heroes as much as I did when I was a kid.

Tone deaf nightclubs where the bass is so loud it actually knocks you off balance.
No longer kids.....

DC Comics, I've always been a DC guy. But I hate the Nu52 reboot. If I wanted to read 90"s Marvel I would find the back issues.

I really liked Batman Begins and Dark Knight, but Dark Knight Rises changed my opinion of the entire trilogy.

Teenagers

I hated those even as a teenager

Comedy Central and Adult Swim

Back when I was younger, I would constantly watch Adult Swim and Comedy Central. Now almost every program annoys me to no end except the Daily Show(Colbert has always annoyed me) and the Squidbillies/ATHF Reruns I've seen a hundred times.


Most TV in general actually. Out of all the programs out there, I only look forward and watch with any regularity maybe 7-8 shows compared to the dozens of shows I kept up with when I was younger.

Professional sports. For the most part, they have just become over-paid a-holes with little or no redeeming qualities.

Kid stuff that most people outgrow: Strawberry Quik, Adam Sandler

Sleeping. Desubot called this one good. When I was in high school I could easily sleep 10 hours on a day off, and I could have slept through an air raid. Now I wake up after 4 or 5 hours no matter how tired I am at the slightest provocation. This might not be a good fit for the OP because I still like sleeping, I just have gotten increasingly bad at it.

Tuna fish. When I was a kid I wouldn't eat any seafood with the sole exception of tuna sandwiches. Now, not even that.

Voltron: you really can't go home again on that.

Strawberry pop-tarts. I used to love them, but when I worked in college, there was a vending machine that frequently only had strawberry pop tarts in it. I've eaten a lifetime of them, and can never eat them again I think.

Taco Bell. Used to love it, now it's just gross. This could be a reflection of my local franchise.

Games Worksop, the company (as opposed to the HHHobby). They increasingly seem like jerks and I now have a strong desire for tabletop games with less setup and complexity; but they're not on ban or anything and if I see models I like I will buy them and feel good about it.

I have largely lost my sweet tooth, which is most likely for the best. No diabeetus for this one!

Action figures, power rangers, maths, english literature classes, school art classes, governments as they stand, democracy, always hated any type of socialism or communism, just moreso now, Irish, French or German accents, anyone who is a complete fanboi of anything, 99% of pop music, Disney Channel, Irish language, "Made in China" labels, people who wear their trousers 10ft below their waistline, movies than run for less than 110mins, movies that were made pre-2000, with exceptions, remakes of movies that are really just the same movie now with colour, remakes of movies that don't follow the same story, Miley Cyrus, taking photos of myself, being in photos, people who don't like discussion or debate.


That'll do for now.

Comics.

Had thousands in the 80s and 90s. Nowadays, I pop into Forbidden Planet, randomly browse a couple and put them back, vindicated in my decision to drop the whole damn lot.

Oh, and airsoft.

Racing games: not since Project Gotham came to an end.

Lie-ins: just don't enjoy it any more.

Sweet foods: I just prefer a savoury snack, and to keep my dental health.

I'll second DC comics. I only keep up with Batman at this point, but even in that I'm beginning to stop caring.

I highly recommend All-Star Western.

I've heard it's quite good, but I worry about making the dive into a series when I'm already a bit behind on it, which would require hunting down back issues in order to be totally caught up on what's going on in the story. What makes you recommend it?

Don't get me going on the history channel. Their style of long commercial breaks coupled with 10 minutes after each one telling you what you saw before the commercial had me deep six watching it and Discovery years ago.

Strangely enough, I once loved Devo, than ended up hating them, and now they're starting to grow on me again. I guess if you live long enough you can turn back into a hero?

It's a solid read that's unlike any other titles in the new52.

It's Jonah Hex done right. The series is what the movie could have been, if the movie's creators had not loved Wild Wild West so much. Honestly, it's just written very well. No real gimmicks or anything; it's just a solid run so far.

In that vein: bars where the music is so loud that the bartender can't hear you when you order a drink.

Same, though I do like Tribes: Ascend...sort of*. TF2 is fun as well. I like that I can drop in, play for 10-20 minutes, and drop out without any repercussions.




*It should also be noted that Tribes 2 is my favorite game of all time, so the changes do irk me occasionally.
