I like PipePipe. You can log in with a YouTube account (which fixes a lot of the YouTube blocking for me) and it’s a fork of NewPipe too (just like Tubular but it regularly receives updates).

I didn’t realize you’ve been posting Asako here! I just wrote about it in the weekly thread. I just stumbled upon it while my friend and I were browsing Mangadex the other day lol. I’ll try to catch up when I can!

Wow I’m happy I clicked on this. The animation is so good.

I have no idea. The DLCs you can buy from Steam or Epic (or get the bundle).

This is the way. Civ 6 is so cheap when it goes on sale now. I bet it’s a more complete game than Civ 7 too but I might be wrong.

I finally found a new read that I might like. It’s called Asako. It’s an age gap manga so it might not be for everyone but I’ve read a few before (My Boy and After the Rain). It has a bit of mystery to it and the plot is non-linear so that makes it more enjoyable for me. Anyway, for those interested, it’s about a man who reminisces a woman he met when he was a young boy set in a small coastal town. Her identity is a mystery however. I’m only a few chapters in and I like it so far.

I was surprised when my friend casually brought up Pixelfed (he called it “Pixelfeed”) and Bluesky the other day.

I don’t listen to pop music much but hip hop has been popular in Korea for a long time now. Same with neighboring East Asian and Southeast Asian countries. I guess they’re just not nearly as popular overseas but they’re mainstream enough locally you’ll hear it wherever you go.

edit: Other than music, hip hop dance and fashion was pretty popular too at least when I was in high school.

Neon Genesis Evangelion. I remember reading somewhere that every anime since NGE is just a spin-off of NGE lol

Kind of reminds me of “Class of 09”.

No. It’s the only “toxic” multiplayer game I play. More time to play worthwhile games at least.

Thank you, Riot.

edit: Okay, maybe I’ll just rant a bit. The new season changes are terrible. It’s too snowbally. Everyone is rushing to get First Blood and First Tower. Then if the team who gets Feats of Strength gets Atakhan too, it’s practically over. Pair that with 3 votes for surrendering, the game is done before anyone touches an inhibitor. Nobody tries to make a come back. The new map looks ugly too. I’ve been using a mod to revert the changes (unrelated to my ban) so that fixes it at least. Battle Pass, gacha, no more free random skins(?) suck too. And now reading this post, I feel bad for new players especially with all the new casuals from the previous months. Riot saw that and said “ah, perfect opportunity to introduce the shitty skins system from Valorant into this game!” (Seriously, I’ve been seeing so many YouTube videos of people complaining about Valorant skins). Hopefully when I come back from my two week ban: (1) none of my friends will feel like playing anymore (they’re the only reason I play), and (2) Riot makes the game less snowbally than it already is. A back-and-forth 50 minute tug of war is more fun than a 20 minute “gg go next” experience.

Unrelated but I just got banned today. It was worth it though. I can live a good life for two weeks at least.

Oh boy I have a lot but the one that stands out is Paprika. It’s the only Satoshi Kon film I haven’t seen. I don’t know when I’m ready to watch it yet.

Yup, every minor version upgrade from what I understand. It’s called the Artifact Transmuter.

Fontaine story was great in my opinion. It’s (still) my favorite region so far. The intermission quest after Fontaine is great btw. Probably my favorite intermission quest too. For Natlan, I haven’t completed it yet. I find it a bit confusing and lost track of what’s going on.

Like what @ryedaft@sh.itjust.works said, there’s a lot of QoL stuff and they continue to add more. Still no artifact loadout but you can see what other people are building in-game and a tool to automatically equip recommended artifacts (I don’t recommend it though).

For the tool to make artifacts with your desired stats, it consumes a type of resource that’s only obtainable through certain missions in Natlan (I think), but mainly by discarding other artifacts. It needs a lot of artifacts though, and you can only craft the resource once every patch (I think, I’ve used it once and haven’t touched it again).

I’m still annoyed by time-gated events though. I missed out on the summer event and I didn’t complete the Sumeru one. Sometimes I feel like the limited-time events are better than the actual game lol.

Anyway, I think it’s still pretty enjoyable.

But understandable if you wouldn’t want to touch it, Doesn’t it make sense to let each user on the Fediverse to choose that?

There are already two projects that mirror/bridge Reddit posts to Lemmy. Unsurprisingly, they have very little interaction right now. I’ve subscribed to some, and even I don’t interact with those myself. Not because I hate it though, but because I find no reason to.

I don’t know how to play her correctly yet. The donuts are funny though and it gives a whole new meaning to “circle impact”.

I was expecting a Dan Da Dan sweep but it was a Frieren sweep all along! Congrats to the winners in !manga@ani.social and !lightnovels@ani.social too!

Thank you for organizing the events @wjs018@ani.social and @NineSwords@ani.social!
