It’s not me, unfortunately. My username is a reference to something from Steins;Gate, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are other "ElPsyKongroo"s around the internet xD

It’s… it’s not satire?!

This frame gives off a “This is a 2000s anime cliffhanger shot” vibe. For a second I thought the episode was already over.

Knowing that this image is usually used with “ass” instead of “fire”, I was surprised until looking at it closer, cause I thought the episode was great haha

Minami. She’s a Japanese artist that I’ve seen live, well… 0 times. Turns out if you mainly only listen to Japanese music and you live in Europe, concerts don’t work out too well for you.

I joined about half a year after the 3rd party apps died. Reddit’s decision back then still feels like it was more recent than just 2 years ago, though…

Can time stop speedrunning itself, please?

I ended up creating it and damn, note to self: don’t do that at night when you’re a bit tired already. Somehow I read your comment without the “don’t”, which… makes a difference haha.

I added “Undetermined” now, so I’m guessing it’s not really an issue beyond the community being visible to less people for its first 10-or-so minutes?

I’m not particularly dead set on having it be once a month, I just figured that would be a good balance between “Me having enough songs to talk about” and “Not flooding the community”. I considered a general music community, but I wanted to first ask whether one exists that I missed. I am also considering making one myself.

Well, I guess this shows my on-and-off existence on Lemmy thus far. I had no idea that instance wasn’t online anymore. I had subscribed to it way back. Not that it would’ve been fitting given those rules anyway, but that’s good to know, so thanks for letting me know.

I’ll look more into what creating my own community would entail.

Sweden is one of the non-obvious countries (that being places that aren’t like… UK, USA, Australia, etc) that I would have expected to be on this map. So that makes sense that that they’re close, just not 90% or higher.

Although I’ve never been to Sweden, so admittedly my assumption wasn’t based on anything.

I knew about this story already, but damn if the article name doesn’t make it seem like more of a big deal. (Strictly the article title. Your post title is more clear, I’m not referring to that)

I’m expecting Maomao to see him, have someone refer to him as Ka Zuigetsu, and Maomao will be all like “It is a pleasure to meet you”. Not that she wouldn’t recognize him, but that she would act like she doesn’t.

Is the girl on the left on some meme format? I swear I’ve seen her before, but I haven’t been reading manga recently and the name of it doesn’t seem familiar to me at all. So that leaves the possibility of having seen memes of her or she just looks like some other character that I can’t pinpoint right now.

I think there’s a time and a place. If you make an anime where the point is horniness, then yeah, sure, go nuts. I’m probably less likely to watch it in that case, unless I hear praise for other aspects of it. Since it makes itself clear as ecchi from the get-go, I don’t mind. A lot of the times, however, it’s just a regular random show with random fanservice that serves no purpose. Looking at you, Fire Force! Specifically that one character.

(They might’ve toned it down in future seasons, but I wouldn’t know cause I didn’t keep up with it past the middle of Season 2 for other reasons, but yeah)

And they are indeed peak!

Both for this reason and others.

It is.

Lately Mienfoo and Mienshao really grew on me. And for no reason whatsoever, I didn’t even use one recently, that’s the weird part.

Going further back, in one of my first few nuzlockes I used a Slowbro, and he’s been a favorite of mine ever since.

But probably the most drastic change has been with starters. As a kid, for the first 5 generations I always picked the fire starter. They were my favorites. Now, however? Typhlosion is the only one from the first 5 that is still my favorite from their respective regions. Kanto I like Venusaur more now, Hoenn it’s Swampert, Sinnoh it’s Torterra and Unova it’s Serperior. I still like the fire ones (Infernape and Blaziken in particular are really close to Swampert and Torterra for me), but I like others more now.

I came here since Reddit killed third party apps, so I don’t even remember how I chose my instance anymore. I guess someone recommended sh.itjust.works somewhere? Tbh I don’t know a lot of the differences between instances (except some well known ones like tankie .ml), but I have no complaints about this instance I’m on. Although I’m not really super active, in all fairness.

I know. I’ve seen the context. I was just saying that I was hoping it was AI just because the alternative is so messed up.

I’m not American, so I’m just now catching up with what happened over there yesterday. The first time I saw this image (elsewhere), I was praying that this was AI-generated. And I hate seeing AI-generated stuff and I’m not religious either. I still wish it was AI but now I know it’s not and… jesus christ.
