I didn't censor it. The original says "my bals" but there's only a single "bal" at risk here, so I adjusted it (badly) to fit the joke

Got myself a Switch and started playing Cult of the Lamb and Jack Jeanne! Cult of the Lamb is incredibly fun, and I've just started the second dungeon~

I've mostly spent this patch making glamours and doing dailies now and then. Motivation is kinda low :/ Regarding 7.1, I'm just curious about the Alliance raid and possible news about the exploration zones tbh. I really hope the AR story won't be an exposition dump like the Stormblood AR storyline was

Favourite of the season: Oshi no Ko without competition, the animation quality and story were both amazing! There were some scenes that go so hard that I'm sure they're still going to be talked about for years.

Biggest disappointment: Tower of God S2. I really looked forward to this, but the story didn't pick up until the final two episodes of the first cour :/ The animation quality was also pretty mid. I'm still looking forward to the second half though..

Kinda meh: Elusive Samurai. At first, I got pulled in by the fantastic animation and interesting premise, but the follow-up didn't really live up to the initial hype. It's still entertaining to watch though, even if I think the way the protag is portrayed and treated by the cast is kinda...sus, sometimes

Yes, More TWEWY love!! I'm kind of sad that's the franchise seems to get overlooked a lot

The DS series was the peak handheld generation for me. I like that the console's design encouraged creative game mechanics, and it has some of my favourite games of all time. I have a DS Lite, a 3DS and a new 3DS, though I think the original DS line had the better game library compared to the 3DS. The camera and 3D effect were rather gimmicky and didn't add much value for me.

I think the game that best encapsulates what I love about the DS is The World Ends With You, a JRPG set in modern Tokyo that used both screens at once in its action combat system - to control two different characters. The character on the bottom screen would have you use touch gestures to trigger attacks, while you needed to do button combos to control the character on the top. It was insanely fun!

Other games I liked from the early DS era are Hotel Dusk, a detective game that is played in "vertical mode" so you hold the console like a book - and Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!, the original Japanese version of Elite Beat Angels, a rhythm game.

I also played all romance/otome games that were available in English for the DS, my favourite was Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side.

The DS figured out touch-based interactions way better than smartphones which are like the main touch-based "handheld" nowadays. That is because you could dedicate the entire touchscreen to gameplay input, since you still had the top screen to show relevant game information. Smartphones on the other hand need to utilize the entire screen both for input and displaying stuff, which just doesn't work as well imo.

100% gonna watch:

Gonna give it a try for a few episodes:

I don't know about Re:zero to be honest, I was kind of disappointed with where the plot was going in the second season, and it feels like the stakes aren't really that high anymore :/

Yeah, the biggest problem with this approach is different moderation philosophies. You would have to set up a vetted set of approved non-problematic instances. I've read several accounts of people who tried out fedi and left soon after, and nothing sours the newcomer experience more than unknowingly joining an instance with a toxic community/moderators

What timconspicuous said. Make sure your instance hasn't blocked bluesky as well
