Heyo! Just another random who’s moving over from centralized social media to the Fediverse. Mastodon wasn’t too bad but I love anything like Reddit!
Games, anime, Japanese, food, and music are my loves. Fanfic beats food tho, I can read for hours instead!

Glad to know I’m not the only one 😭
- Comment on I just learned this existed 1 day ago:
Let it be AI for my sake. Please.
- Comment on I'm ready for spooky 1 day ago:
Not all of us live in a place that actually gets snow when it gets cold. So you stay indoors cause you have fuck else to do, and the lack of sunshine just makes the seasonal depression that much spicier. Yeah you can bundle up, but like, if there’s nothing to do then why bother going out?
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 1 day ago:
Started using Google Docs around 4th/5th grade. I’m a Sophomore in college now…
Still like Google online collaboration more than Microsoft online collaboration, so it’s still dogshit after 20 years…
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 1 day ago:

- Comment on Study links TikTok scrolling to poor study focus: Just five minutes of scrolling the social app made college students less focused 5 days ago:
Fuck my ass opens Voyager sometimes when I don’t wanna work and I’ll literally say to myself “lock in” or “I’m so not focused.” I’m still a million years better than my Tiktok addicted cousins at least…
So yeah not surprised but I hate that I see myself in this.
- Comment on Day 402 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 days ago:
Yeah I love watching them and really wanna get into them (P4AU, Guilty Gear, Street Fighter, etc.), plus their soundtracks are banger. But I fucking suck at fighting games and the only one I ever tolerated was the soloplayer Pokken Tournament campaign. I honestly got bored of both 3DS and Wii U smash as a child very quickly, and to this day I feel bad for the money wasted.
- Comment on The average age of Disney princesses is 505y. 6 days ago:
Alice is only a princess in Kingdom Hearts lore.
Meanwhile Ariel just chills in her world in KH1. Really wonder why they made that choice.
- Comment on Day 402 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 6 days ago:
Lol I know what a Thwomp is, I was more so noting the fact that the pic is missing a fourth player, so I just was thinking about fighting game crossovers in general.
- Comment on Day 402 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 6 days ago:
Almost thought the pic was a shitpost before I remembered Smash exists (forgive me I hate fighting games). Lovely that we live in a timeline where Shirtless sephiroth, Kirby’s Pokemon cousin, and a gorilla named after another animal, and another fighting game character can all fight each other.

First image that came to mind when I saw this
I’m missing the Sonic collab rn…
- Comment on They'd just appear out of nowhere 1 week ago:
I don’t know what it was like when my sister was young, but I also got occular migraines as a kid, and it’d be like a static spot in my vision where things just disappear behind it. Once that static appeared, I only had 10-20 mins or so before an awful headache would set off, and I ended up needing meds for it. They went away after 13 though.

You’ve never had a gremlin cat cause I’ve definitely had cats try to run off with random shit in their mouth
- Comment on "I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint 2 weeks ago:
He never said paying for open source projects is impossible, obviously we have the ability pay. It’s the expecting EVERYONE to drop money on every FOSS project that’s infeasible. That shit ads up.
It’s the same issue that PeerTube has, people making free content with no ads, but they aren’t guaranteed payment. I’m not about to pay $5 per month on Patreon for every creator that I like, cause that’s just not sustainable.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
As a weeabo, fine, make fun of us. But I’m tired of people crusading furries and I’m not even one of them.

- Comment on Good Guy Humpback 2 weeks ago:
Ugh, yeah. It’s making me have a love-hate relationship with it. “Haha humpback helps seal not die 😊” vs “Ah. Creepos being fat-phobic 🫤”
- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 2 weeks ago:
If you’re on Android you won’t need a family plan, just get ReVanced and patch YT Music so it’s ad-free and plays in the background.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 2 weeks ago:
Actually, I’m kinda sad that my laptop doesn’t get close to maxing my RAM cause I specifically bought another stick to make it 16GB. This was back when I was using Windows but now I’m bloat-free on Fedoora. I need to get into gaming on my laptop instead now lol.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 2 weeks ago:
If you’re a little less afraid of stuff breaking, use IronFox, it’s been configured for privacy and security. If you don’t want websites to break as much use Fennec.
- Comment on Big Updates Are Coming to Loops 2 weeks ago:
Didn’t Vine used to limit it at 7 seconds? Find your inner speedrun.
- Comment on Florida ounces 3 weeks ago:
Of the minor but noticable changes:
- Bottom icons and text are bigger for some reason on Apple mode. Maybe more readable?
- Share icon is the “network dots” on Android, but the weird “up-arrow page” icon on Apple. Honestly I’ve never liked that Apple icon, hated Safari cause that icon doesn’t scream “share” to me.
Biggest issue for me? Why the hell does Android mode throw a grey bar at the top unlike the all pitch-black that Apple mode has. It looks clean and smooth on that mode and jarring and ugly on Android mode 😮💨
- Comment on Florida ounces 3 weeks ago:
Go to settings > appearance > theme, and there should be a category saying “System”, pick between Android and Apple.
- Comment on Florida ounces 3 weeks ago:
Holy shit you made me realize there’s a Apple Android option on Voyager. I’m on an Android phone but I was using the Apple layout:
Here’s Android comparison:
NGL, I think I like the Apple one more…
Also voyager voting buttons are Blue/Red no matter what theme you use unless you specifically pick the reddit Blue/Orange theme.

But silly squid game fun… 🐙🥺
At least my game doesn’t have micro transactions!
~Yet… Nintendo please don’t~

Holy fuck that can’t be real. I’m almost convinced to make an account just to see if they’re trolling. Is this how they recruit?
- Comment on How do gameplay youtuber develop interesting commentary? 3 weeks ago:
I never got super info their videos, but I think the DreamSMP would count as the roleplayer category. Honestly, when I think about my childhood Minecraft YT channels, Aphmau was the main creator of RPG-like “tell’s a story though Minecraft” content (MC Diaries, MyStreet, Dreams of Estorra [RIP 😭], etc ).
Anyway yeah, there’s a subcategory of people who I think like to roleplay in their games and make a creative, original story out of it. I think another modern example would be the Your Average Hylian, a channel that makes silly content focusing around LoZ, like “What Hyrulean ads would be like” or “Hyrule Cooking Show Parody”
- Comment on Video shows rare protests in China over beating of schoolgirl by three teenagers 3 weeks ago:
This account has posted news featuring several countries, including ones that (rightfully so) show America’s fascist actions, and yet one fucking post of a girl getting brutalized is somehow Sinophobic propaganda? Just cause you like China doesn’t mean bad shit doesn’t happen there. This is a community for world news.
- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 3 weeks ago:
The few dumb artists who only release music there and nowhere else, the better streaming quality (I guess? I’ve read it somewhere), and slightly better at suggesting/categorizing music genres. I don’t use it because all the time I’d see people cry “I wish this was on Spotify!!!” in a YT comment section, and YT music had everything I wanted. Plus YT free is way more bearable that Spotify free, and I use ReVanced now anyway.
But yeah Spotify always sucked to me and I’m tired of those who shame others for not using it. The “Apple green bubble shaming” of the music world.
- Comment on I'm never going back to Matrix - Terence Eden 3 weeks ago:
Well, considering the founder tweets right-wing extremist posts and conspiracy theories, he’s just calling his people home.
I hope someone forks this project lol
