@Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip
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!
- Comment on Sliced off the tip of my thumb, what are some good one handed games? 1 week ago:
Like others said, any turn-based game. Currently
sufferingenjoying SMT III Nocturne, others I’ve played are Octopath, Fire Emblem, Pokemon (esp Mystery Dungeon), Atlus in general. Balatro sounds nice. Rhythm heaven is WarioWare + Music, and that’s definitely doable one-handed, especially the Wii version. My mom said Fortune Street (Monopoly but Mario + Dragon Quest) lol.Mobile games can be very doable, a cute one I remember is Candies n’ Curses, a game where you swipe to direct the character around a haunted mansion and fight bosses. Easily can be played with one hand. If you can tolerate gachas, Cookie Run Kingdom can be put on auto so you don’t have to tap much, I just like the story and characters. I think Geometry dash can be doable on low levels with one hand?
Find your inner weeabo and play some Japanese visual novels. Or if you’re a normal person then Ace Attorney would be a fantastic choice, and is a long-ass series. Prepare for courtroom bullshit and jokes.
- Comment on Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027 1 week ago:
I get that getting all the games as they released was hard, because the series is on so many platforms. But I really don’t get the “KH is hard to understand” argument today, because you can easily find hundreds of letsplays for every game, cutscenes complications, play/watch every game on the PS4 remix disk, and even watch a fandub of the mobile games (Dark Road is a WIP) if you don’t like the KHUX Back Cover recap.
So like, what’s so hard? If you skip games and only read a wiki (the worst possible way to consume any sort of media, mind you), of course you’re not gonna know the story and characters, and of course it’ll sound confusing.

- Comment on Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman looses his YouTube channel after AI error 1 week ago:
Some are very easy to play without spending any sort of money, and there’s several that have pity systems in which you’re guaranteed to get what you’re pulling for, so at least they’re slightly better than gambling. But yes, I won’t deny they’re predatory, but I’ve managed to make my gacha journey without spending a penny across the 20+ gacha games I’ve played and dropped for a little over a decade now.
Not all of them have great stories, especially the older games which focused on collecting rather than story content, but within the past few years we’ve gotten great ones that have long arcs that are actually interesting, especially if the game has side lore that you can read about.
I get that a gacha isn’t going to be as good as the average game, but when you’ve only got a few mins to play something and you’re out and about, they’re nice.
- Comment on Anon likes Dragon Ball 1 week ago:
God. The Genshin subreddit literally hated male characters for simply existing so much that official birthday art would get taken down/reported by the users/mods. I stuck with the GenshinGays and Genshin_Sapphic subreddits because at least I didn’t have to see Mona’s titties and Klee lolibait every 5 posts.
But for real, anime and game subreddits are just cancer (well, honestly they’re not perfect on Lemmy either…) and it’s impossible to find one that doesn’t dissolve into gooning and homophobia. Well, maybe besides Jojo.
- Comment on A hypothesis 1 week ago:
Yeah, that “what to absolutely learn” line needs to be established. Basic knowledge of fixing and troubleshooting absolutely should be taught, while scripting and programming is probably not a high priority for many people. Maybe financial/business interested students could learn some scripting, but art and literature students won’t really care.
I’m Gen Z, and I cringe at both my classmates and alpha-cusp cousins, my millennial aunts, my xillenial dad, and my boomer grandparents, one of which taught college classes on how to use computers back in the 80s, so idk what happened there…
In the case of my classmates, I can understand that if you’re too poor to have a home computer with Windows or Mac, then you won’t have many opportunities for computer literacy, cause we used heavily locked-down Chromebooks from 5-12th grade, and while my college library has Windows desktops, I’m not sure if the rental laptops are Windows or Chrome. But grown adults had computer lab, so what happened there?
But still, I’ve seen mind numbing shit like using the caps key instead of shift when typing (ON PURPOSE, by the way), not using any kind of ad block, not knowing where shit is in phone settings, hell, asking for chargers is “iPhone or Android charger” or “round or flat charger” instead of USB C or lightning.

oh wow, Piefed has scheduled posts? I know Masto and Misskey do that. Not a feature I’d use, but neat, I see why people switch from Lemmy.
- Comment on Nintendo's Creature Capture Patent Dealt Blow Amid Palworld Lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
YES!
Even though I think some Palworld designs are questionable, I’m devastated by Pokemon’s wasted potential and Nintendo’s laziness surrounding the franchise. It sucks that they’re the only major catch-em-all game we’ve got, they don’t have to try because they have no competition. I tried Cassette Beasts, and while I think the fusion and type system is pretty good, the story and characters were lacking for me so I haven’t finished it. I have no desire for Yo-kai watch, and I don’t feel like playing Digimon.
Even if I’ll never play “Pokemon: Breath of the Fortnite” I still want Palworld to do well and flip Nintendo off for being an ass. That “riding is only allowed in our games” patent is total bullshit.
- Comment on Anon studies Organic Chemistry 2 weeks ago:
I have never heard of this in my life, and I have no idea if my school does that. US student if that matters. I’ve either done exams online (but logged in), in person, or just had a final project that served as an exam. Hell, even popular HS exams like the PSAT and ACT should have our names on them, as far as I remember. Like maybe when they grade them via scantron they don’t see it, but idk.

I’m pretty sure they’re talking about catching pubic lice (genital crabs) either due to sleeping around, or the Myrtle Beach area being kind of shady.
I went there with my family when I was a kid, and yeah… Our hotel was fine but the place was giving old, and I’ll never forget this mom who let her kids play in a nasty ass abandoned jacuzzi pool that was off-colored and had cigarette butts in it…
- Comment on Here we go again... 3 weeks ago:
Forgive me for being born after the 90s y’all, but sometimes it’s nice to have a reboot. Well. I could care less about movie/TV show reboots since so many places show the originals
or you could pirate, but when it comes to games, I appreciate being able to enjoy the same games my mom did but with slightly better graphics and on a console we own/PC. And yes, I could pirate the originals, but sometimes it’s nice to play it as it was intended, especially for hand held games.Yes reboots can be lazy and uninspired, and simply for money purposes, but other times it’s nice to see something come back to life and get a second chance. There’s so much stuff I wouldn’t have known about or enjoyed if it wasn’t for reboots.

Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist.
Wait, are we talking Tesla named the AI therapist Aura and added it to the car? Or that he personalized his Grok to be called Aura? I’m leaning towards the latter, and I’m laughing at how pathetic it is.
MAGA chuds can’t respect a living, breathing queer person, even if it was their own flesh and blood, but will name change their fucking clown car AI, inform people on its pronouns, and praise the damn thing for regurgitating Reddit threads. A car. Can socially transition. Meanwhile Muskrat shits on his trans kid every day.

Nah, the past was filled with peasants dying of infections and dysentery. The future will just be the Pony Express crew from Mouthwashing. Honestly, I don’t even know what member I’d choose to be since they all went out horrifically.
- Comment on itsfoss promotes hyprland on instagram!? 4 weeks ago:
Then maybe the comprise is preaching to both crowds, until the desired platform becomes bigger. Yes, FOSS devs and projects should promote on FOSS services to make them more lively, but they should also acknowledge that many of those who they need to bring over probably are unaware on the main service.
Either that or just try your best to convince people in real life, although many of us don’t have enough charisma for that…
- Comment on wish 5 weeks ago:
Watched a video before of kids from Whales doing an exchange with Korean students, and they were miserable. Like you said, they were getting back home late from clubs and cram tutoring at like 10pm, and would then get up for school around 6am or so.
This is just an unfortunately common thing in Asian countries, getting into the best schools is treated like a life-or-death thing for many.

- Comment on Dinner is ready! 1 month ago:
G instead of D for me, because while I love Asian food, they also have a lot of spicy-sweet foods, and I hate spicy-sweet. Just do sweet, or just do spicy, but don’t mix them in one. I hate sweet heat, there’s few dishes that can make me like it. I also don’t love a lot of tropical fruits and Asian fruits, I’m a basic bitch. But Tex-Mex all day? I can live with that, plus some Creole and soul food? Set for life. I will miss Asian food though… Curry, ramen, Kung Pao, lumpia…

I’m American, so we’re probably doing worse shit, but this shit is exactly why I hate how hard my professors push for us to be on LinkedIn. Besides it being Facebook but for hustle bros and shitty managers, the company itself doesn’t give a shit about it’s users and their privacy.

Okay, not nearly the same, but I swear to god KH changes the fucking axis, target, and menu buttons each game, and my ass was fucking tired of it. So if a game changed inputs every save/startup I’d probably cry.

- Comment on Hang on... 2 months ago:
I can’t tell if you’re joking or not, but I’ll bite.
I don’t love calling people, honestly, I might prefer talking to them in person rather than calling (same for texting, I really don’t bother with texting) and I have literally cried after making an awkward call. But I still would prefer a million times over to call an actual person to take my pizza order, and for other purchases in general.
Like yeah, online shopping and self-checkout at grocery stores are great and make sense for what you’re trying to achieve. But the robot making your pizza order is gonna fuck up and add crazy unwanted toppings, or forget to mention the spice level, or etc. A real human can clarify your questions and give you extra info like, “Oh yeah it has a slightly sweet taste to the spice,” or, “This drink is really popular for people who like fruity drinks and aren’t too big on strong alcohol.” Like you would have to do way too much effort to train a bot for all that.
I don’t wanna needlessly put people out of a simple job just because of the occasional awkward call. And talking in person is almost always a joy rather than calling. Sometimes I have a decent convo with a staff member. I have a lot of introvert tendencies, but this is one that I just tell myself “get over it”, especially when another friend is too nervous to talk, then I’ll do it for them.
- Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes 2 months ago:
Hosting your own media library is awesome, just don’t try and bullshit people by pretending that you’re better than Spotify because they pay their artists poorly when you’re stealing from the artists yourself.
This in general when people talk about piracy. It’s great, and sometimes almost needed in cases where companies are making it impossible for people to access the media they want. But stop making it sound like you’re doing the creator a favor by pirating.
“Oh I pirated this musicians music, BUT I’m giving them exposure!1!1! Spotify and YT only pay them .0000001 cents per view!1!1”
Sure, they get almost no money via streaming, but at least they get SOME money over time. People who listen, like, and comment on their songs on social media gives them more exposure then you ripping the song for fucking free and MAYBE (not guaranteed for some of you) telling a friend or two about it. Priating contributes nothing to the (albeit evil) algorithm. Like it’s the dumbest moral argument/excuse people seem to bring up to defend themselves. Artists do deserve to be paid or recognized in some sort of way. Either stream or buy on bandcamp to support artists. Exposure means nothing when the bills aren’t paid.
I hate Google, but I know I don’t have the means to buy every single album from the many artists I listen to, so I’ll stick with them for now until I start making a plan on how I wanna go about buying their music and streaming it at home.
