I wonder what communities people put on ani.social such that there needs to be a rule about communities being related to anime. (Honestly curious!)

I used to read a wider spread of genres, but I definitely seem to have consolidated towards shoujosei, and as far as I have noticed you are the only one posting that here. I’m a lot more of a “broad tastes” person outside of anime and manga.

Another series to toss on my to-read list. This would normally be a “click and read immediately!” but I find myself with more things that must be done in real life nowadays :(

Wonder if any of them have actual recipes you can try out in real life, I have recently started getting into cooking. Food Wars is on my to watch/read list.
- Comment on Media Do Distributor Sells MyAnimeList Site to Web3/AI Company Gaudiy 2 weeks ago:
I have my “what media do I want to consume later?” lists spread across multiple spots. This should be a nice kick in the butt to cut MAL out and move it to a different preexisting spot.
- Comment on How do I discover the Pixelfed content that is out there when so many big instances block exploration? 3 weeks ago:
Kind of surprised this is the take. Algorithms in general, just sorting by highest to lowest or whatever common problem that needs to be solved, aren’t bad. “Algorithm” has become a dirty word mostly because of the stuff pushing short-form content over long-form content, outrage that generates engagement over something you would enjoy that doesn’t enrage you enough to make you type fifty paragraphs and keep coming back to fight in the comments, etc. So I agree with the literal statement that algorithms aren’t always bad.
But as for what you meant, I’m super surprised at all the people who want an algorithm to feed them content. I looked for the stuff I was interested in, subscribed, and am happy. When I run out of content I either log off and do something else or go seek out stuff I’m kind of interested in. I am just really wary of asking for algorithms back because I really don’t want the Fediverse to become another place catered towards outrage porn for max engagement. I really want users to have options if this is implemented, so as not to force this algorithm on users like myself who like the “chronological order of stuff you purposely followed only” algorithm. And for that option to not be taken away from me in an effort to “drive growth!” and all that.

- Comment on Perspectives on the LISA Series? 4 weeks ago:
I can usually read anything without having issues, but I just read the tropes page for this and this depressing game lived rent-free in my head for too long. And some of the themes are things I can usually read about no problem but actually seeing? Not sure if the game would show it on-screen, but if it did I know I would handle it poorly. Finally, I do not want to play something that depressing, and I am already familiar with some of the themes in real life so I don’t need a good art game to teach me about it or make some commentary. Dark things are usually not cathartic for me, just another painful reminder about the bad things in the world. So I am going to avoid this series and I think others might have the same reasoning. Of course, I’m aware others can like it and that’s totally fine! It’s just extremely not for me.
- Comment on Minecraft's 'Vibrant Visuals' Upgrade the Start of a New 'Graphical Journey' 4 weeks ago:
I wonder how much of this is network effects? I cannot describe how many times I have fired up Minecraft all over again after not touching it for awhile because oh, a friend made a server and my other friends are playing too! At least in my experience, it seems to just be a thing that if a social circle contains mostly people who happen to enjoy video games, even if we formed around liking to sing or something and not our love of video games, it will try to make a Minecraft server.
- Comment on Minecraft's 'Vibrant Visuals' Upgrade the Start of a New 'Graphical Journey' 4 weeks ago:
Players will be able to toggle between the new and previously existing visuals of Minecraft with the simple press of a button, meaning a classic look can be maintained by those who desire it.
thank goodness, shaders are pretty but I am massively suspect to nostalgia bias and I do not want to dedicate performance to shaders if my computer cannot handle it

- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 weeks ago:
I was one of a bunch of people who got Instagram because my friends did and used it basically as “in real life social media”—use it to see what’s going on in the lives of people you know in real life, as a method of contacting some of them if you do not have their phone numbers, etc. Is there anyone using Pixelfed for that? I’d love to help support another Fediverse platform, but outside of just posting my personal stuff (and of course I would have to check privacy settings too) I’m not a photographer or influencer and feel I have no real reason to be using Pixelfed.

- Comment on The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025 1 month ago:
Oh boy.
I did learn cursive, but I have been playing games on laptops since I was little too and was never told I had to learn PC building. And to be completely honest, although knowledge is good, I am very uninterested in doing that especially since I have an object that serves my needs.
I have the perspective to realize that I have been on the “other side” of the WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE SATISFIED, LEARN MORE AND CHANGE TO BE LIKE US side, although I’m exaggerating because I don’t actually push others to take on my decisions. I don’t spam the uninterested to come to Linux, but I do want people who get their needs adequately served by Windows to jump to Linux anyways because I want to see Windows 11, with even more forced telemetry and shoved-in AI and things just made worse to fail. Even though that would actually be more work for satisfied Windows users. But I would not downvote a happy Windows user for not wanting to switch, and that kind of behavior is frowned upon, is it just more acceptable to be outwardly disapproving to those who do not know about GPUs and are satisfied with what they have with zero desire to upgrade?

Thank you for explaining!
- Comment on The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025 1 month ago:
Thank you for explaining! I am not sure why people are reacting badly to my statement, is knowledge of GPUs something every gamer is expected to have and I am violating the social contract by being clueless?
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 1 month ago:
I’ll absolutely punish your eyeballs with just some stuff on steam that will leave these two games looking absolutely mainstream.
Genuinely curious since that sounds interesting. What games are these?
- Comment on The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025 1 month ago:
I’ll be honest, I have never paid attention to GPUs and I don’t understand what your comment is trying to say or (this feels selfish to say) how it applies to me and my comment. Is this intended to mostly be a reply to me, or something to help others reading the thread?
- Comment on Gaming has a polarization problem 1 month ago:
Makes me appreciate reviews that are able to give pros and cons to the game, and the ones that are able to say an opinion between “best game ever” and “absolute trash”. Which I still often see on the Steam reviews, usually voted as one of the Most Helpful!
- Comment on The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025 1 month ago:
I’m having a good time on a laptop with no fancy graphics card and have no desire to buy one.
I also do not look for super high graphical fidelity, play mostly indies instead of AAA, and am like 5 years behind the industry, mostly buying old gems on sale, so my tastes probably enable this strategy as much as anything else.
- Comment on Pokemon GO Fest 2025 is Bringing the Heat with Volcanion, Zacaian, Zamazenta, and a Global Raid! 1 month ago:
I am back in for exercise reasons. I’m enjoying Dynamax as far as I can go being just one person—mostly because I live near two Dynamax spots and nothing else, and never played a mainline game with Dynamaxing so I do not know how different or how much of a betrayal it is from the mainline version of the mechanic. Curious to hear how it is greedy (honest question, not an aggressive “prove you’re right!!! because they are not!!11!1!”).

Interesting read, mostly accessible for someone who has not and will never play Balatro. (Roguelikes just are not my thing, and for an irrational reason I cannot pin down, card games are a really quick turnoff.)

I am following the manga, not the anime, but quickly skimmed the episode to see what Ep 9 covers to avoid spoilers or stuff that just never happens in the anime. Did my skim and the animation is nice and smooth!
- Comment on From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated! • Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Oji-san - Episode 9 discussion 1 month ago:
I also appreciate how his family plays a role. (It is probably hinted at in the title, “Dad’s Been Reincarnated,” not “I’ve Been Reincarnated,” so you’ll probably expect to hear from his kid.) A lot of times people in the past life are present just to set up the character’s personality/outlook and never brought up again. I don’t mind that, but seeing something else done is still cool!

This is when it’s time to use c/Anime as just c/Manga. This post reminded me of the manga it’s based off of and is a nice kick in the butt to go read it.
