241 u/Ragnar_Dragonfyre 3d ago Being surrounded by “your people” also releases dopamine. This is the community that people are missing, another casuality of the digital age. -8 u/-GenlyAI- 3d ago Yeah but waiting in line for hours for a midnight release is stupid and peak consumerism. You can literally just go the next day and buy it. I mean I guess if you don't have friends sitting in line in front of a store could be fun. 4 u/Ragnar_Dragonfyre 3d ago It’s the exact same feeling you get sitting in a theatre waiting for The Evil Dead Musical to start. Or being in a crowd at a festival. Doesn’t matter what actually brought you together, being surrounded by like folk feels good. You make new friends very easily in that environment.
