For me it would be Princess Mononoke, which is also one of my favorite films, period. I really appreciate the maturity and nuance it brings to it's environmental themes, which have been done in many other films, but not as well.
I haven’t had a lot of time to do much console gaming lately but I still would love to have a “go to” mobile game that I can whip out and progress a few levels or grind a few items or knock out a battle or match or two....
Marvel Snap, though while the gameplay is fun the monetization is getting a bit out of hand. I think it can still turn around, though. I’m more of a DC guy myself too!
I also do a lot of crosswords haha. I have Magic Arena downloaded but I don’t really enjoy playing standard.
Finally I have been getting back into Pokémon go a little bit. My partner recently picked it back up too!
The difference isn’t just that one is Some Guy and one is Some Guy Who Went To Seminary, the difference is that confessions are supposed to be kept confidential (between the person, their priest, and arguably God), not “confidential” (between the person and the priest, who then rats them out to the boss.)
So hopefully I'm doing this right! :) (I'm still new to some of this so haven't figured out things yet! I did ask this via Mastodon also, but wanted to add more detail to my answer!)...
I always want to say like, Dark Souls in general but then I remember. I remember
Honestly tho I’m still trying to chase the high of my first playthrough of Undertale (yeah yeah.) I played it right after it came out and happened to be going through a lot. I definitely played it a few times after that and it’s always great but I feel like the first was just magical.
Personally, I think this card could be a really effective disruptive tool. A good upgrade (or sidegrade) to Iceman, obvious synergy with Moon Girl, would likely be a terror in a Bounce deck. Infinaut could see a resurgence since it would remove his T5 restriction. I just don’t know if I should buy this one or wait for Spidey 2099 next week tho…
I was thinking about that too, but I’m sure there are plenty of cases where it would be a good play- early, then late-game disrupt; could have synergy with Doc Ock; screwing over Apocalypse; would be a terror for bounce, Cerebro, and any other deck with a lot of similarly-costing cards.
Honestly I don’t really play move either but if Ham isn’t quite worth it I might start haha.
My partner and I finished the audiobook of Le Guin’s Tombs of Atuan over the weekend and started The Farthest Shore, both really enjoyable reads.
I personally am reading through Jane McAlevey’s A Collective Bargain, a nonfiction about the importance of unionization and collectivism as it pertains to both work and democracy. She tells the stories of four folks who managed to fight for and win the right to a union in their workplace. It’s accessible and a fairly short read (just a couple hundred pages), so I’m going to go ahead and recommend that one here too :)
I’ve read Left Hand and loved it!! My partner asked about it a while back and said he’d love to read it after Earthsea. Do you have any other recs of hers?
Great movie! The soundtrack was pretty killer and the character and world designs were all pretty fantastic. I still somehow haven’t seen the first but it even provides enough context for people like me.
I’m nervous about these yahoos writing and producing but I like 3BP so I’m gonna at least watch a couple of episodes. That having been said: Tencent has a really great, faithful adaptation that you can watch on Prime or YT (YT also has all 30 eps for free)
Frequently seeing users expressing confusion about the workings of kbin.social and the larger fediverse. Thought it was worth making an intro guide to iron out some of the wrinkles in the understanding of how all of this works in hopes of diminishing the barrier to entry the idea of federated content seems to pose. Some of this...
This was really helpful, I did a bit of my own digging and got most of what you said but you definitely cleared up a few points. I’m still in the process of migrating off of Reddit but I’m excited to be joining this new community! Thanks for your help 😸
A newly declassified report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence reveals that the federal government is buying troves of data about Americans.
I mean, there hasn’t really been a sense of privacy since the Patriot Act, and Snowden et al confirmed it. And the attempts at data gathering have gotten both more overt and more insidious. (Like, selfie memes, or “get to know me” prompts, or whatever- and I’m not saying these are inherently bad or always data grabs, either.)
Honestly even if you leave your phone at home someone has a phone nearby. Whether you drive to work or take an Uber or public transit or walk, you’re on security cameras and can be traced through other means.
It’s gotten bad enough that I- and I’m sure a lot of other people as well- have problems even intimating with other people, because i feel like I’m over sharing AND selling my personal information. But it’s just a regular conversation. And that’s not okay!
I’m not saying public fora can’t (or shouldn’t) be monitored, but the panopticon has got to fucking go!
I wanted to post this here since I want to help as much as I can in my own way to people coming here for the first time. I hope it is useful and helpful! I tried to assume low knowledge with the Fediverse in my responses which I collected here from a different post and assembled into a single article....
hey this is pretty useful, thanks! I just joined like last night so this is all still new to me, I’m trying to figure out whether I want to stick around here or try Lemmy or Masto.
I’ve been playing a lot of Marvel Snap lately, they just added a Conquest Mode which effectively lets you test new decks (plus earning other prizes but waves hand) I’ve been having a lot of fun with my High Evo Toxic deck and also just made a High Evo Hulk deck.
I’m finishing up Shining Pearl, I basically put my game on hold right before the E4 so I could run around in the Underground for the blasted Spiritomb quest. I ended up getting burnt out and taking a hiatus so I think I’m just going to do the E4 and get Spiritomb later.
I also think I’m gonna pick up TOTK, I watched my partner play through it and I have a mighty need to make monster-killing Rube Goldberg contraptions.

I’m a lurker by nature but I’ve been making an effort to interact more (both online and offline lol.) I hope we can develop some interesting, accepting, and not circlejerky communities here :)
