Formerly @[email protected], kbin.run died, moved here.
Every time I see a sequel I get curious about the first. KCD1 seems like something I have a 50/50 shot at either loving (roleplay!) or hating (QOL stuff, probably the combat), not sure which side I'll come out on.
I'm asexual, not aromantic, but thinking about this from an aromantic perspective I completely get wanting more close platonic relationships that don't turn romantic. That would actually be inclusive, a lot of people try to put romance everywhere, and I get it! It's fun to do! But aromantic people like to have representation too, and options to be friends but not romantic helps them feel represented.
Too bad this guy's "checkbox insert" means it's probably (I might be wrong) an "omg gay people exist in my game, gross" complaint and not a "hey platonic relationships are important too, don't make every significant relationship romantic" for all the aros (or even non-aromantic people who think friendship is important as well as romance) out there.
Not the biggest fan of their voices in this video, but appreciate the Ekans and Arbok animation.

I don't personally have anything against Pikachu as a Pokémon, but oh god once I opened a Falinks video for kids just because I like Falinks and was curious, and like… Pikachu was shoehorned into the Falinks video and I was displeased. I can see how people might dislike Pikachu for overexposure. Is that your reason, or is it something else?
Enjoyable read, thank you!
I wonder when that plot thread about someone not liking the food truck being a thing will show up. Or if I'm just misremembering, or misinterpreted something.
I completely forgot about my dislike for Meowth until I saw a picture with Meowth
Username checks out.
Every time I see a hentai game I didn't want to see it is directly my fault because I am too scared to filter out Sexual Content (or whatever the tag is) and then have some great game not focused on sex, that just so happens to have sexual content included and a horny fanbase that marked it Sexual Content, get banished from my sight.
Not sure about people who do actually try to use the filters to avoid sexual content though, if you have them set up and are still seeing it that's definitely a problem.
I vaguely remember reading these as a little kid, was not expecting to get reminded of it by an anime adaptation.
Maybe SEO strategy targeted for the displaced groups, so Elon-critical people who want to discuss him a lot looking it up can get a link here.
Random thought based off of the fact that a hobby drama post I wanted to share with someone was no longer on Reddit because the post was deleted, but someone reposted it in full to [email protected] and search engines would actually show the Lemmy link
Reply promoting the Fediverse literally any time someone complains about mainstream social media?
Never deleted my accounts, just quit using. (Intended to go back to grab saved posts, never did that.) They have engagement history with certain communities, I should probably go sign back into them and keep an eye out in those communities.
I do think a lot of people online tend to forget teenagers use the internet when people express attraction. I distinctly remember reading a comment on Reddit about how the commenter expressed attraction to Joja Siwa online as a child, and got called a pedophile, and it made their same-age self worry that their attraction was pedophilia. So thanks for remembering.
Given the "people online, especially gamers, are antisocial losers with no friends!" stereotype, the very real issue of how difficult it is for adults to make new friends in some parts of the world, and that online there is no tone of voice or body language, I can definitely see how it is being read as a genuine complaint. Plus you can always find people with wildly differing perspectives online, which tends to completely deaden the "nobody would ever believe/say this, definitely a joke" reaction.
Accidentally closed this article's tab, coming back to get it back and to say thanks for posting, it was a fun read! I never even noticed the games having water/fire/electricity and that clashing with the water/fire/grass starter choice till this article pointed it out. Hearing about early fan reactions, seeing their creations is pretty cool and kind of nostalgic somehow. This kind of analysis is the stuff I come to fan communities online for.
I feel I do not have enough series knowledge to ask good interesting questions in [email protected] at all which sucks because I liked reading discussion about Pokémon back on Reddit.
Exposed through pop-cultural osmosis, then through Pokémon GO, and still have not finished my playthrough of HGSS in which I got really really hooked, decided to put it down, and never picked it back up again because I totally forgot what I was doing and probably need to start over.
But also I do like the series and I figure even a less-knowledgeable enjoyer could put something given Lemmy and its need for engagement… but I also feel bad putting out what feels like low-tier engagement bait questions, the like of which I'd see on anime subreddits that were mostly just images and no discussion at all. But have to start somewhere, and if you do not have deep enough knowledge, it is all I can do if I want to read conversations and not just look at pictures. At least I post better questions on [email protected], although they do not always get engagement. (If it gets flat zero comments I delete for eventual reposting of the question much much later in the hopes people do comment!)
The elemental monkeys (first stage specifically) always annoyed me for no rational reason at all, immediate Pokémon I think of when I think of "least favorite". But that's three Pokémon, so I have to pick something else.
Really not a fan of Gothita. Or the entire line. Pokémon that evoke more human-like designs usually land on my disliked list pretty quickly. Just a personal dislike, no idea where it comes from.
Recognized the name from Skyrim modding, clicked, interesting read.
Haven't watched this, but judging from the reactions people are giving I feel like it might be a yandere thing that isn't coming off as that properly? There's folks with consensual noncon fantasies and all that who might be interested. What about it makes you say "trash" specifically, and if you are suggesting hentai is it because this anime gets explicit/fanservicey?
My tone might be coming off judgmental but I do not mean it that way, just trying to figure out if I would like to watch or not. I am an adult who understands and respects boundaries. I also enjoy messed-up problematic dynamics in fiction sometimes.
Now I'm curious where the story was headed in the second season that turned you off, but that would be spoilers…
He kind of reminds me of a fortune cookie in shape. Fun read, thanks for posting!

Aside from the mods and name, what makes this different from [email protected]?
(Although the ani.social community shows as "Touhou Art" the actual link is [email protected].) Both allow discussion but in practice are just images with very few comments. To the credit of both, you have to source any image posted unless you made it yourself. I'm curious if there is any difference between the two besides who the mods are and the display names, or if two Touhou lovers both decided to make a community independently and they kind of turned out the same. Asking out of genuine curiosity, not sure how to reword the title to be less dismissive and hostile. I know duplicate communities happen on Lemmy all the time, perhaps some with nuances distinguishing them that I am not always aware of.
Period Cube song, By Your Side, goes with River Flows in You
Friend of mine said this song from Period Cube sounded a lot like Yiruma's "River Flows in You".
I checked it out, and yes it does. I intentionally played bits of "River Flows in You" a little out of order as some parts sound closer to the Period Cube song than others and I wanted to show the similar parts, but just playing straight through also works together. If you check the chord progression of the Period Cube song in that specific part, it's the same as "River Flows in You". The left hand of the Period Cube song in that part is also quite similar.

shoutout to walkthrough makers


These folks are so helpful. Double points if the walkthrough creators are the devs.
Sometimes I'll be willing to bash my head against the game, not sure why I keep hitting an end or outcome I do not want over and over again, but if I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong and get frustrated, help becomes very welcome, especially with otome. I like organically discovering which choice was the one that changed things enough to get a good end (or even a bad end I particularly want to see) but sometimes it is too difficult/time-consuming, and I need a little help. (And it's not a puzzle game so I feel okay doing it lol.) Sometimes I am enjoying the game but not enough to bash my head against bad endings repeatedly and will consult a walkthrough to get where I want to be sometimes.
Thank you to these people for saving me time and frustration. Sometimes I try to join them, adding information to a wiki or posting information that I have not seen online yet for certain games. It can be pretty fun!
name of the management/city builder game with you developing a city of mice who are oppressed by cats?
I don't remember the name of this game, and my search engine results didn't return it. I wanted to see if it was complete so I could get it as a Christmas gift to myself. If I remember the name I'll put it here.
And literally after I make the post I find it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2489330/Whiskerwood/ Still coming soon, no gift for myself.
