- Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2026, Week 03] 5 days ago:
So, I dug back into physical media a bit at the end of the year and managed to scrounge up some copies of older works that I either hadn’t seen or where my copy had issues (like parts of a few episodes skipping due to physical defects on the discs).
One of those I haven’t seen before is To-LOVE-Ru. I don’t know how the hell I never realized this – having seen it pop up in fanart and such for a decade or so… – but the name とらぶる is obviously a transliteration of “trouble” into Japanese. So far, the writing is wonderfully stupid; I’m not expecting much out of this in the story department, but a lighthearted distraction from our extremely depressing reality is not unwelcome right now… I’ve heard the show described as “thinly veiled hentai” before, but even with that description I was still a bit surprised they actually put unobscured female nipples in the first episode. This kind of episodic ecchi harem comedy isn’t something I find bingeable, so I’ll probably be chipping away at it episode by episode for a while when I’m in the right mood for it. Hopefully I get a few good reaction shots out of it.
For upcoming releases, I am planning to watch S2 of Frieren, but given that that’s the kind of thing I expect I’d rather want to binge, I will probably be waiting towards the end of the season to start it.

Thanks. I finally managed to get him this morning! Just barely won though. 23 HP left, Estus flask empty and used an Ember for healing late in the fight… One Ashen flask left. Used the Pestilent Mist strategy in combination with Sunlight Spears and Tears of Denial (which triggered twice, I think, during the fight) – cast using Crystal Chime+5 and unequipped my sword to stay under the 70% weight threshold. 8 Estus / 7 Ashen Estus split. SL143. Ring of the Sun’s First Born, Morne’s Ring, Sage Ring, Estus Ring. Dragoncrest shield (for fire defense) + Crest shield (for Dark defense) that I meant to switch to for the second phase, but didn’t. Armor was a random collection of whatever seemed like it might help – most significant piece was the Winged Knight Armor; I look really goofy. Started game as Deprived and played early game as Dex fighter before switching to mostly pyromancy mid-game. Highest stat is currently 40 Faith – I did some grinding to get there from 35 to free up a ring slot for an earlier strategy that didn’t work. (The 3 guys on top of the Archive are worth about ~21K souls each with my best grinding gear equipped and are vulnerable to Rapport – best grinding location I’ve found so far.)
I’m sure the guys who live and breath this game will be like “Lol, git gud scrub” but it’s my first playthrough and I’m just happy I managed to pull it off at all. :p

Still getting my butt kicked by Dark Souls 3. The end is in sight though. I’ve already beaten the final boss of the base game, but I’m going through the DLCs. Finished Ashes, but still stuck on the M. boss fight in the Ringed City DLC. (I’m too stubborn to just skip it – or, well, I have been so far, at least…)
- Comment on What is the longest anime episode of all time? 3 weeks ago:
97 minutes
At that length, I think I’d call it a movie/film even if it’s part of a TV series’s progression.
If we’re including Japanese anime films in general, In This Corner of the World is supposedly the longest at 168 minutes for the extended version, followed by Final Yamato at 163 minutes, and then The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya at 162 minutes – according to this list on Wikipedia.

- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 4 weeks ago:
Yes, and they’re often used together.
Celery is cold tolerant and can be grown/harvested in winter, IIRC. That might also be a factor in why it’s prevalent in soups?

- Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects 5 weeks ago:
My guess was that it was probably due to Hollywood, but some form of mass communication, almost certainly.

I had a roommate from Manchester (UK) for a couple months back in college. I’m American (US). He seemed to have no trouble understanding me, but I usually couldn’t understand what he said without him repeating it multiple times.

I haven’t gotten around to playing either of them yet myself, but Nine Sols and Astro Bot also come to mind as titles that got a lot of attention.
- Comment on Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names. 5 weeks ago:
Which sort of makes sense since the US has always had a huge agricultural / grain surplus.
米国 is because of ateji, not agriculture. 米 is the second character of 亜米利加 – an old transliteration of “a-me-ri-ka” as kanji. 亜 is the shorthand for Asia (亜細亜); the second character 米 is used as the shorthand for America. 米 is both the country (USA) and the continents – e.g. 北米 and 南米 are sometimes used for North and South America, respectively, while 米軍 is the US military.
Katakana has mostly replaced kanji transliteration of foreign words in modern Japanese, but some uses like the 米 shorthand persist.
- Comment on Why ActivityPub over Nostr? - function only 5 weeks ago:
I haven’t tried Nostr, so have no opinions on what the experience of actually using it is like, but cryptographic identity seems like it’d be a better way (technically speaking) of doing things than AP; tying everything to domain names has worked rather poorly – as we’ve seen repeatedly every time an instance goes offline…
I ended up on AP after jumping ship from reddit. I was on kbin first (since it was readable w/o JS and I liked the UI), and then later using the mlmym interface for lemmy as kbin because more unstable and eventually went offline.

The fifth instance denied my application with, “read the coc and reapply”
Don’t know what instance that is specifically, but if their application process is anything like reddthat’s lemmy application process, there’s probably a bit in there about something specific you’re supposed to include in the application so they can weed out bots.
