What thing do you love that you can never get anyone else to check out? (lemmy.world)

Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one's ever gotten into?

I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I've never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don't know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.

So what can't you get people into and why should we check it out?

Have you been recommending the MCC ? imho that's the only thing worth playing (as opposed to Infinite)

I tried to motivate my friends into halo of any kind.
The f2p part of halo infinite makes it attractive to try out at all.
But even playing part of the reach co-op didnt catch with them.

Oh well. I tried :(

I guess they have to be into both scifi and shooters as a prerequisite

Shooters: Check
Sci-Fi: (I think) Check.

I think one of my friends played Destiny. The other (irl) friend was thr one I played Halo 2 on the og xbox with.
I would say Halo is pretty unique both in types of play and art style which makes it harder to sell vs Overwatch or Rainbow 6 Siege.
