Pretty sure short form content, broadly, fucks people up, and fucked up people are prime targets for conservative bullshit.

Rainworld. Despite being a 2d game it captures the feeling of open exploration so much better than anything else I’ve ever played before

I miss the animation age ghetto, tbh, this new Japanese hate is way more annoying.

Ever play a TTRPG? Give it a try, if you live in an actual civilized place you probably have a local game store and they almost certainly host games. If you live in absolute nowhere like me you could probably find local groups online. And to be clear I’m not talking about dungeons and dragons, despite what people say the ruleset isn’t new player friendly (it’s complicated, the books are poorly edited, missing rules, it’s expensive, etc. etc.).

Try out World (or Chronicles) of Darkness, at a base level they are easier to understand than any other ttrpg i have ever played (with lots of room to get more out there as you play) and it’s got a large community (as far as niche hobbies go). Oh and it’s cheap, Chronicles is best about respecting your money, but generally you only need to buy a single book (the rulebook for the creature you are playing as).

Pathfinder is also a good choice as the second most popular ttrpg and they offer their rules for free online. the second edition is simpler but it does front load a lot of information on you at once (which is a good thing, you won’t have to go looking for edge case rules that don’t exist). First edition is also really good, but it’s more complicated and you might be less likely to find games since the second edition came out.

War gaming could also be a good way to meet people, but i don’t do that as much so i have less recommendations to offer, I’m afraid.

Red, easy. I was raised by total red necks (heh), complete hicks, and it did give me bottom of the barrel ideas about what i wanted to be. I could have healthier habits and work towards a better self earlier. Money? I’ll just be an early Bitcoin adopter and make all the cash I’d ever need. Hell if it came down to it i could make money on the dark web and use my age as a shield and tool. Friends? I could cut out bad friends early and find my future friend group whenever i want, I’d probably even have an advantage since I’m way more of a nerd now (see that first point).

Yeah, you can do that. Bitcoin is anonymous and you could earn it relatively easy when it first came out. If you want to get real fucked up with it you could make even more by appealing to those early black markets and use your age as a cover, but that’s risk.

It is genocide

By that logic the Internet shouldn’t have safe spaces, and i agree with that statement thanks. If you can’t handle something, go somewhere else. I don’t like nazi posting so I’m not on…parlor? Is that a thing or am i thinking of something else?

Very relatable

Good riddance. All an instance acting like a walled garden does is hurt the entire space, and that doesn’t just apply to beehaw.

Side note; what the hell do you have against serial experiments lain? It’s weird that it’s on the list thrice, and I didn’t even know there were new sites about lain, so thanks for that i guess.

Communism, definitionally, cannot have a state. That isn’t gatekeeping. Your can argue about getting there but then tankies generally support states with no interest in actually doing that.

…Who even uses Crunchyroll?

What can i say, the dude abides

If seven seas is publishing something it’s not worth reading. They’ve been caught doing censorship multiple times. Go look for literally any other way to enjoy what you are into.

Honestly, these days I’d prefer advanced mtl to a shitty localization every time. Nintendo has turned me into a hard liner, working to figure out what the fuck a character just said is better than that character just not saying anything. I’m an old head, i remember needing to work that shit out, it sucked but at least it wasn’t purposefully mangled.

Man i miss fanlations being the standard, they are so much better.

God damn the kids really don’t know the difference. Anyways i use it less probably because I’m browsing Lemmy on my phone in-between other tasks, but maybe I’ll start spicing things up.

Who is booing this man? He is completely correct

Fuck if he wasn’t right too
