My favorite is: if you disagree, you can always just go to another instance or even create your own. Other than that, I like how, instead of a total score, posts show likes and dislikes separately. This is more of a technical thing than a cultural one, but it has a big impact on making brigading less effective. In general, all these technical decisions make Lemmy very friendly to a variety of cultures and people from across different spectrums of political and other opinions.
Pop Team Epic. It was so weird I couldn't get anything at all and dropped it in first 10 minutes, but I'm planning to give it another try someday 😅
exarcheia and anabaptist
Do those guys build their own roads, pipes for water and heat, homes, bake bread, make drugs, provide healthcare? Or do they depend on external nation-states and their economy to exist?
It's because streaming in movies is exactly the same one thing everyone thinks about, while streaming in music is dozen of different things and you meant just a single particular one while excluding all others. If we consider all types of music streaming, there are countless free streaming services for this: youtube, soundcloud, mixcloud, spotify, thousands of internet radios.
I mostly watch shows when they're finished. It's nice to be able to watch an episode every day, but the downside is I lag behind everyone else and can't really participate in polls like this since the only two shows I watched from this year is Frieren and Dungeon Meshi. So I decided not to vote at all. Overall I watched 25 shows this year, most from 201x, some from 200x and a few from 202x.
To go the 100% enjoyable route, I need to know more things which naturally put people in this state. I do such things by experiencing them myself, and once they get there I know this is something which would fit in such a work.
Regarding this point, I think one of the most safe and efficient tricks to do this is to keep introducing novelty. If you have a game that has a fairly limited number of distinctive unique things that are introduced quickly and afterwards are simply repeated in different combinations it will less likely have such effect. For example a sandbox that introduces everything in 10h and then 90h you just play around with it will probably not have this effect, it can even become a chore. But a story-driven game which constantly introduces novelty on plot level but also sometimes introduces some new mechanics and content, have big chances to have this effect. In reality it's more complicated, and there are many dimensions to this like challenge/frustration for example. There are games that use frustration as a tool to some extent to make winning certain fights feel exceptionally rewarding (soulslikes is the most popular example). But if you make it too challenging/frustrating there is a risk that player gives up and leaves in state of frustration which makes it a big failure. This particular thing is high-risk/reward type stuff.
Prey was very addictive to me. I think I beat it rather fast though, because I just couldn't stop playing.
Finished Mawaru Penguindrum - this one was a wild ride! I enjoyed most of it, but the way it jumps between genres and the plot and character development in the second half of the show are quite extreme and sometimes questionable. Some things were hard to follow for me, but core ideas are very inspiring and leave room for thinking even outside of anime context.
Not much you can do other than researching the current consensus. And for the latter you can try to search discussions about its safety. Good query to start with is "is programname malware/spyware".
I look almost the same as I did when I was twice as young as I am right now and I understand that during this decade I'll probably leave the age bracket where this is possible.
I really like the artstyle in WoW and often use it as reference.
Have you tried actually comparing game assets from different versions side-by-side?
With technology like this, it's only a matter of time before big players start using it all over the internet, whether for commerce, propaganda, or pushing their agenda. So it's interesting to observe an amateur trying it right now and sharing their findings. If anything, it might give us a glimpse of what the future holds.
