Right.
Because doing without thinking never harmed anyone…
Who tf compares thought and action as if they’re opposing methods to do anything?
More often than not, to do any good one requires the other and vice versa.

You are leaving out what I actually posted in that screenshot. That comment is 100% serious.
By suggesting that this particular image should be tagged, I now feel completely incapable of predicting what you would want tagged, aside from checking whatever booru contributor or mod has happened to decide.
Hence, the safe option for me is to delete the post, and stop contributing to the community.

Might be android version dependent? Because now I’m on my second phone (on an older android version) and here it doesn’t work in Thunder.

Voyager was the only one that could display properly.
Works on thunder.
- Comment on AVIF instead of WEBP 4 months ago:
Well, it’s not like we couldn’t fall back to animated webps for that until it’s no longer a problem.
Depends on how configurable image-rs is I guess.
I could test avif for my posts tho, as I host my images with catbox anyway.
I’m certainly curious to see if I can achieve smaller files with the same quality, as it’s always nice when browsing is fast.

A big increase from Dungeon Meshi. Izu is here, things will only go up from now on.
The next three episodes are gonna be nearly ALL killer, no filler. It’s time to get back to the meat of the plot (though the dungeon meshi plot veggies are very good and important, too).
- Comment on [Clip] The Kraken Claims a Friend - Helck 6 months ago:
This was maybe the best joke once the series got started.
The manga shifts to a much more serious and emotional tone with the occasional gag once Helck and “Anne” get portaled off the mainland.
The anime didn’t quite pull off the execution of that I think.

I love the self-improvement club bros. They are such bros.
- Comment on [Announcement] Ani.Social-Lemmy.World Federation Isssues 6 months ago:
The latency limit is caused by the activity queue that was introduced in v19.
Servers can only talk as fast as round time allows, because Lemmy instances now keep track that each event actually does get federated, and in the right order.
That last point means each event only gets sent once acknowledgement of the last one is received, creating a hard limit for how many events can be communicated, depending on ping. A mere two per second with a latency of 500ms.
This serial process will obviously need to be parallelized. But that’s difficult.
- Comment on A little late to My Hero Academia and... 6 months ago:
My local library does carry a shit-ton of series. Back during my conscription the garrison library stocked several dozen series too, that I devoured in the boredom of hurrying up and waiting.
You can get digital releases, too, I’ve read a lot of manga on an e-reader. First on a Kobo, now on a Android based Likebook device which I can use any app on for accessing manga that I like.
Kindle has tons, and for series that only exist in English thanks to fan translations, reading from mangadex using tachiyomi is fantastic.
- Comment on A little late to My Hero Academia and... 7 months ago:
I enjoyed the first season, but I quickly dropped the second in favor of reading the manga. The art is better, and the trudging pace of the story in the anime is much faster.

!frieren@ani.social
Another fantastic fantasy being produced right now is Dungeon Meshi aka Delicious in Dungeon.
15 episode are out on Netflix.
It’s a bit more on the comedic side than Frieren, but also keeps the weirdness typical in a lot of anime to a minimum. It also comes with fantastic characters and gorgeous animation.
People who like Frieren are likely to enjoy Dungeons Meshi vice versa. I certainly do.
And also !dungeonmeshi@ani.social
- Comment on best anime to start on 7 months ago:
I love absurd anime like Saiki K.
Other masterpieces are Nichijou, Hinamatsuri and Asobi Asobase.
However, nothing has really topped the utter chaos of Sabagebu for me.

- Comment on The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 Announced for 2025 7 months ago:
The show also has a way of using the miracle of culture and science to prove there is hope for humanity. I think that stuff can land for anyone, giving the show emotional “fuck yeah” moments that nearly brought me to tears at times.

Dr. Stone is based as hell, it’s only scientific to approve of the show.

I’ve definitely seen it picking up steam with youtubers beginning to make videos about how great it is. I think the fact that it’s going to continue airing for another 12 episodes will help keep that word-of-mouth momentum building.
- Comment on Top 10 Anime of the Week #11 - Winter 2024 (Anime Corner) 7 months ago:
On Netflix, and thereby fighting an uphill battle for watchers, I suspect.
- Comment on Top 10 Anime of the Week #11 - Winter 2024 (Anime Corner) 7 months ago:
Dungeon Meshi is out of the top 10 again.
Everyone who has seen it gushes about it, but I fear some people haven’t given it a shot, not seeing past a funny premise.
I predict that as the second cour gets going, and with another fan favourite character joining the main cast, we will see the people who are watching it redouble their efforts to spread the gospel.
- Comment on Mato Seihei no Slave • Chained Soldier - Episode 12 discussion - FINAL 8 months ago:
I kinda dropped the show, but yeah, go enjoy the manga, it’s legitimately only uphill from here.
Narratively, and probably artistically, as well. The anime had its moments and I might finish off the last few episodes to see if there were some more, but generally the art and animation in the adaptation, though not bad, didn’t impress half as much as the panels of the manga do. It’s worth a just to see Tenka start referring to Aoba as sister-in-law.
If we do get a second season, I really really want it to be with a larger budget, enabling production to aim for greater quality and more closely matching the detail level and lineart of the manga.
- Comment on "Kengan Ashura" Season 2 Part 2 New Key Visual, PV 8 months ago:
I really enjoyed the manga, and the anime is apparently entirely 3D CGI.
Did it turn out any good?
- Comment on I will miss them 8 months ago:
I hope the show is to your tastes.
And do go looking at old posts, I’ve been posting stuff like the monster-lore/gag bonus chapters from the manga, and character sheets from the World Guide.

I should work with communities, too. And user accounts.
Communities might take a really long time tho before the result shows up, as they can take minutes to bring over.
