It’s probably the most accessible anime I openly recommend. It’s well-animated, strong visual identity, simple premise, unique setting for an anime, and an excellent adaptation of the comedy.

I emphasis the comedy and accessibility because, historically, anime has suffered from borderline cringey tropes/humour (fanservice, perverted humour, women sharing one personality, etc) which limits it’s audience to a specific demo. SpyXFamily blends western aesthetics with clean humour all from the perspective of a realistic 5yo that sees the world wonderfully juxtaposed to an era of turmoil.

You may not love it but I feel confident recommending this as a gateway to other great slice of life animes (Like Skip & Loafer, Dungeon Meshi).

An animated kung-fu martial artist monkey

A super cop

A chinese native that travels overseas to America and teams up with either Owen Wilson or Chris Tucker look-a-likes to save another Chinese native, generally a young woman.

Brother really did not like his beans

beers are great in moderation 🍻

interestingly explicit call out to their target demo. now i have to cringe when harder when i hear someone uses opera

mildly addicted to mini motorways is all I’m willing to admit

I really dislike being reductive so take what I say with a grain of salt:

I am not surprised that the people who regularly buy the COD series with all of it’s monetary practices for the past decade are asking to buy a feature. They’d be more shocked if you could features/updates/qol without buying it. Habituation, de-sensitisation, whatever - they’re the whales that fuel the decline in AAA games.

Just finished the 5 main endings of Nier Automata and enjoyed it! Wanted to see what the fuss was about (especially after seeing the meme about how doitsujin was motivated to develop DXVK to play it). Enjoyable time and I plan to get all the endings.

Next on my list is Mini Motorways and Alien Isolation :)

Similar situation. I quickly glance between Lemmy and Mastodon and only use old.reddit when I’m on my PC (just realised I hadn’t really used it since I’ve been making an effort to engage with the manga communities on lemmy) . All my friends and favourite artists seem to use Instagram so I only use it out of necessity for messaging and quick inspirations (I tried using Cara but I found the app somewhat slow and disliked that it wasn’t federated, so I could see it having a very low lifespan. I saw it as a poor move for artists to move to it solely on the promise of being “anti-AI” without any redundancies that a de-federated option would have)

i messed up and stayed up doing cable management - good night everyone!

There was a mass exodus of Escapist writers (including Yahtzee) and formed Second Wind. Been watching a lot more of their stuff since they left the Escapist outside of Yahtzee

I want to avoid using Fandom as much as possible, is there a singular index that tracks all of the non-fandom wikis?

I initially agreed with you but after watching the demo, it has some game-related features that I’d imagine would be hard to implement in other applications such as:

• Choosing the length of looping songs from 15, 30, to and hour which is ideal for background music.
• Spoiler Free options where you can choose certain games to avoid being recommended/listen to.

Don’t have Nintendo Online (only got it for Splatoon 3) but this product should’ve come out years ago when they introduced Nintendo Online.

I see you. I get thrown off when my liked playlist is shuffled or songs go missing. The world is chaotic and I just want consistency.

I respect they chose Lady Geist to show off the glitch

Steve Rogers would feel comforted he’s not alone
