Go to a comic store and ask for some recommendations that prove this take wildly wrong.
Right, I don't doubt that some might exist. But it's a minority of what's available.
Also I doubt any of it is serialized as a TV cartoon show in the same sense that animes are made from mangas. But I'd love to be proven wrong :)
Well... Without spoiling anything I would say, you are a member of an alien species on another planet. You are also an aspiring astronaut about to take your first journey into space. Let's just say your journey is quite remarkable.
May I recommend taking it a step further and going for games that have no cycle in them at all? That is, finite games that you can play and actually finish, for good. That's what I've been looking for a lot lately.
Some recommendations:
- The Talos Principle (puzzles with a story)
- Outer Wilds (best to go in blind, read absolutely nothing about it, not even the steam description)
- CrossCode (fast paced fun combat and a cool story and characters. Somewhat grindy but still finite)
- Beacon Pines (short and sweet visual novel)
- Chants of Sennaar (language translation game, surprisingly fun and satisfying)
Frankly, all of your points sound quite ignorant. Syntax is literally just a matter of getting used to it. Comparing HashMap ergonomics doesn't make sense, you should rather compare to struct construction. There are many good reasons for different string types and number types. There are good reasons not to bake in async. Rust documentation is in the code for a very good reason and it's actually really nice to read docs like that (obviously read it on docs.rs, not in the code itself).
I could go on but there are answers to all of your specific qualms if you just bothered to look for yourself.
Be the change you want to see in the world!
Based on OPs post history, they may believe that they masturbate too much.
OP: One or two times a day is not unusual. More than that may or may not be a problem. Speak to a doctor about any symptoms. Asking the internet is not the solution here.
I've had good dentists that have kept me mostly pain free. Hope you have the same. For me, it's mostly about tolerating the amount of stuff put into my mouth at once, which can be uncomfortable. But it's not too bad. You'll be fine I'm sure :)
This is a good thread, thank you all.
At least from my perspective, manga and anime are mediums. They can be used to tell any story, and they are used like that. You can find manga and anime for any age group and in any genre. The medium is used for all kinds of stuff.
The problem with western comics and cartoons is that (at least from what I know), the medium is mostly only targetting kids or it's superhero comics. It's just so very limited.
For example, I'm currently watching Ancient Magus Bride. It's a very non-traditional romance story in a fantasy setting with interesting characters and emotional dynamics. So far I'm really enjoying it. I simply can't imagine a western cartoon/comic even attempting to produce a similar thing. Or well, perhaps I can imagine it but it just doesn't happen for some reason.
Watching Ancient Magus Bride now from your recommendation! I had it on the back burner for a while. Five episodes in, it's good. Still curious what exactly will happen, there's not too much of an actual plot. But I'm fine with it even if it goes on like this.
While there certainly is some blame on the programmers (to the extent that it is useful to even assign blame), I would say it is hardly fair to blame programmers for most mistakes.
Bugs are a fact of life - the presence of bugs can hardly be blamed on a specific programmer. Rather, it is a result of the resources assigned to a project and its quality assurance. Yes, at the end of the day it comes down to the lines of code written, but everything and anyone involved in the process up to that point (like designers, project managers, people managers and of course executives at the top) are to blame as well. Especially the decision-makers who deprioritized security or quality assurance are to blame, much more so than the programmer who wrote the line.
Yea I get that - although I kinda like the slow start, it makes the hook all the better. I also wouldn't have minded Erased going on for a bit longer, I think Steins;Gate is like the perfect length.
Just watched it based on this comment. This anime is seriously good, definitely in my top 5s.
Have you watched Steins;Gate? It definitely has some parallels.

What is so great about this? Just watched the first couple of eps. First impression is not good: It seems like the classical mindless shonen fighting anime alongside pretty childish humor and a distastefully sexualized main female character. Her outfit is literally a bikini and she's sexualized in the very first scene and in basically every scene she's in since that one, wtf?
Not better necessarily, just different. But yes, it exists alongside Lemmy. Hopefully in the future there could be many more alternatives.
What an incredibly elitist take. I personally think the fediverse should be welcome to everyone.
Ah okay - I will say, the community name is a little misleading. The name makes it sound like it's for exposing power-tripping mods, but the sidebar suggests it is for asking whether a mod action is justified or not. Perhaps a different name would be more appropriate.
If a ban is justified, then there is (pretty much by definition) no power tripping, right? So I feel like it definitely makes sense for this community to downvote if the ban is justified.
When was the last time you went with a recommendation made by “word of mouth” instead of Googling reviews?
Like, all the time? I constantly hear of recommendations for all kinds of stuff in real life and here on the fediverse. Obviously that's rarely concerning fediverse instances (never in real life) but it is brought up surprisingly often. Often you'll find comments like "glad I'm on domain.example", recommending an instance.
Also who says you couldn't Google reviews for instances? Seems like a reviewing platform for instances would be useful. Not sure if it exists yet.
How easy is it to “create a new instance”?
Certainly not something for the average user. It is not easy and takes work. But thankfully you need only very few instances compared to users and people have already made instances that are fairly well moderated, I would say.
How are fragmented instances, with unpaid volunteers that are constantly being criticized meant to be a sustainable model to run ANYTHING?
If your instance is good, you shouldn't be constantly criticised. Or at least, there should be a core of users that enjoy your instance.
Do you have a better suggestion for how to run the fediverse?
These arguments just seem stupid and place more work on people who just want to see funnies. That’s how Lemmy dies.
If a person is too lazy to ever change instances and don't want to bother with that choice, and don't even care enough to have the option... Why even be here? That person should just go back to reddit. I'm sure there's still plenty of funnies to see there.
