Showerthought: My dad said something about watching shows that made me change my whole plan

We were talking about 'The Bear' and he said he waits a full year after a season drops to watch it, so he can binge the whole thing without waiting. It hit different because I'm always rushing to watch stuff right away. Now I'm thinking of doing that with the new season of 'Shrinking' so I can just plow through it. Anyone else try this delayed binge method with a specific show?

That "delayed binge method" your dad mentioned is something I've started doing with video games too (waiting for all the patches and DLC to drop). It turns the whole thing from a weekly chore into a real event you can get lost in for a weekend.

Yeah, turning games into a real event is the best part.

You know what that reminds me of... my buddy used to buy all his games on launch day and rush through them in a weekend. Then he'd be stuck waiting months for patches to fix the bugs while I'm just sitting on a pile of games waiting for the "complete edition." Last year I waited two years before picking up Cyberpunk and man, that was the right call. It's like watching a show all at once versus week to week, you just get a better experience when it's all cooked through.
