Yeah, I can definitely still go for some shonen, but the younger side of it (like boku no hero) is difficult when it’s focused on the younger side of high school.

HunterxHunter was my favourite show for a long time, I’ve been thinking of doing a rewatch but dread the idea that it’s going to fall flat…

I’m 27 and I’ve definitely out-aged some of it.

Came back to anime recently after not watching for 3-4 years and Demon Slayer and JJK have been great.

Tried to pick up Boku No Hero again tho… no. Too old for that now.

I’m not saying they were perfect, but it’s definitely a bigger problem now.

I have replayed the older ones a few times, but can’t get through the new games.

New Pokémon is so ass.

As a kid I loved the sense of adventure, going into every building to find stuff and sometimes getting a bit lost.

These days the games lock you onto the rails so much, and so much crappy dialogue from boring characters.

I liked the rival showing up randomly, acting like an arsehole, and having a tough team.

I just can’t do the wake up early bit, because I can’t do the go to sleep early bit either.

Brain will stop when it wants, brain will start when it wants.

Everyone knows PE isn’t a real subject.

It could be, but it isn’t. Just piss about playing an active game for an hour.

Forget the bird, what’s that on the left side of the desk…

Now that GPU companies and developers seem to be giving some focus to Linux, I don’t know what Microsoft can do.

Windows is bloated to shit and that’s how Microsoft seemingly wants it. Unless they start to offer a stripped down release then I don’t see how it could compete with a Linux based OS going forward. (For handheld consoles).

I liked the first, but think I’m gonna avoid this.

The joker cringe online has just gotten out of control, has completely ruined the character for me.

There’s a time and a place imo.

If you’re hanging out with people who also dislike something, it’s fun to shoot the shit and criticise it.

If you’re doing that all the time and directed at someone who likes that thing, you’re one of the most insufferable people on the planet.

Ironically, I think AI may prove to be most useful in video games.

Not to outright replace writers, but so they instead focus on feeding backstory to AI so it essentially becomes the characters they’ve created.

I just think it’s going to be inevitable and the only possible option for a game where the player truly chooses the story.

I just can’t be interested in multiple choice games where you know that your choice doesn’t matter. If a character dies from option a, then option b, c, and d kill them as well.

Realising that as a kid instantly ruined telltale games for me, but I think AI used in the right way could solve that problem, to at least some degree.

 

I just don't get how Lemmy is going to act as a proper replacement for Reddit.

I understand the basic concept of Lemmy and the Fediverse, and people are touting the concept of it being federated and not centrally controlled, but it is an absolute mess and nobody seems to have an idea about what to do with it.

How are communities going to grow if there isn't at least some form of central management. Other than there being an underlying framework that connects the servers, they're all just doing what they want.

Outside of the underlying framework, there's no 'guidelines' or consistency. The servers have random names, and the main Lemmy.ml is telling people to register elsewhere.

How is this going to bring in a wider audience if people are being directed to lemmy.fmhy.ml, sopuli.xyz, or sh.itjust.works?

What is the purpose of the Fediverse when forums for niche interests already exist on the internet?

Does it make sense to have something like a 'sports' server that has communities for soccer, NFL, basketball, MMA? But then how do you get a consistent naming scheme that lets people know it's part of the fediverse?

Maybe Lemmy could work as a replacement, but it seems like it needs a 'flagship' server with a group of people maintaining it to set an example. Then other servers that cover more specific areas, such as sports, can be set up and potentially work closely with that flagship group.

If this doesn't happen, then I can't see how this doesn't just fizzle out.

P.S. I've also compared two different Lemmy servers and looked at the same post in a community, and there are different numbers of comments on each where they haven't synced up...

I also wanted to post this to the main Lemmy community, but as I had to register via a different server, I'm not able to access that community from the server I'm using for some reason...
