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!

Note how anon states they weigh the same, but they feel healthier. Being healthy isn’t about looking like a model, being healthy is about literally being healthy. You don’t need to do crazy ass workouts, chug protein mixes, and gain muscle like a TV star on steroids. You just need to get enough cardio in your day (or throughout the week) from chill/fun activities (biking, swimming, dancing) and have a balanced diet to do your body right. Don’t fucking starve yourself please, you look fine the way your are ♥️

- Comment on wtf i love capitalism now 1 week ago:
You totally can, I’ve seen plenty of people with themed icons and shit of their favorite characters or smth, but I think you need an app to do it or to do some magic in shortcuts. I never bothered or figured it out cause I hated my iPhone so much and I feel like they actively discourage people from doing shit.
- Comment on Amid AI Plagiarism, More Professors Turn to Handwritten Work 1 week ago:
RIP, my ass tends to grip the pencil too hard or smth, and I often cramp up my hand when writing a lot. I had to write paper notes for a class, and another professor made our final exam on paper where you write about 10 terms and do 2 mini essays on a topic.
I really don’t wanna do paper, simply because of how annoying it is (smudge marks, misspelled words, running out of space, having to erase a lot of stuff cause you feel it looks wrong, etc.). Honestly, unless a teacher watches students write their entire assignment in class with no technology out, what’s to stop them from just copying down what ChatGPT wrote for them onto paper?

I usually stop before crossing the line, but I will quite literally backup if I see a person who is crossing or looks like they’re gonna cross. But damn unless you’re making a turn why the hell are you that far up.

I love how you keep changing the focus and what I said.
I don’t think that we need million-dollar movies
Neither did I.
And, no, I don’t think that humans would quit making art if you removed the profit motive.
Never said that either, nor do I think it. I follow plenty of artists who draw, create music, make videos, etc. simply for the love of it. But we all know why starving artist is a phrase. These people risk their stability and livelihoods on perfecting their craft, and only get appreciation from those who care. The time and resources used to get better at their craft are not free, nor are the external factors like bills and groceries. Artists should be compensated for their work, and you cannot expect an entire team of editors, writers, directors, actors, set makers, etc. to continue to make high quality content while not being paid.
I don’t need movies to be “Marvel Cinematic Explosion”, I don’t watch those anyway. But no matter how good or bad the movie is, time was spent making it, which means people should be compensated. If an artist chooses to share their work for free or on a service that uses ads to monetize their work, then great, that’s what they wanted. But you don’t have to be a greedy capitalist pig to want to be able to eat from your art.
- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 2 weeks ago:
Ah yes, the one Nintendo IP that has gone to shit. Not fully by the way, as Legends Arceus was fantastic, and even my mom who hasn’t given a fuck about Pokemon since Yellow loved watching me play it. If Gamefreak would finally make another side game like Mystery Dungeon (or the more forgotten cult classics like Pokepark, Ranger, Conquest, Rumble, etc.) we wouldn’t be trolling them so hard. It’s also more of a Gamefreak problem than anything, as other companies that did Pokemon games (Chunsoft, Genius Sonority, etc.) did fantastic.
Anyway Zelda and Mario are still making bangers, Kirby Air Riders is coming back, Metroid fans are fed, Splatoon is getting a whole new game for Switch 2 (fuck me…), people are still relatively happy with Animal Crossing NH, we’ll see how Donkey Kong’s new game does, and while FE’s newest entry wasn’t so hot you can’t ignore how Three Houses brought in a brand new wave of loyal FE fans.
Literally everyone knows Pokemon mainline has been going to shit (and not the characters, designs, music, etc. imo, just the animations and story writing). Pick another game, even Nintendo (and Pokemon) fans make fun of it.

You can not seriously think that companies can continue to produce million dollar movies and stay in business if literally every person pirated instead of spending a single penny on them. How the fuck else would they make money? You either pay for content, or don’t if people don’t pay, they lose money. Don’t be obtuse.
If nobody copied, a lot of media would get lost to time.
Never said nobody should copy. I want people to make copies and backups, that’s fantastic. Thank you for putting words in my mouth.
- Comment on What the fuck you 2 weeks ago:
I mean, sometimes you wanna buy a thing you like. Crazy concept. We also wouldn’t have any media if everyone pirated.
Now, in the case of movies and TV, I totally pirate, and I get why people would pirate because you don’t even own them on streaming services. Never know when Amazon/Disney/HBO/Whoever is going to randomly take your show down because they don’t feel like paying for the license anymore, etc. This is exactly what happened to my mom with Funamation, it got nuked and Crunchyroll bought it, but you can’t even watch some shows anymore cause of licensing. So we pirate almost every anime now.
But when DVD was still the main way to watch, it was mostly fine because you still owned the disc, and could watch it on like any player. So buying media back then made sense.

Used Teams for the first time ever a week ago to do an interview and that bitch did not want to connect to my earbuds. Just fucking refused to work. Meanwhile, I used Zoom twice a week for my programming class and had no issue connecting to them and using that as my output.

I know they’re joking, but it depresses me to know that these people don’t have a close woman in their life to ask these questions.
I wish the internet was a nicer place so people who simply don’t know how to interact could get the answers they need without fear, rather than make unrealistic standards from rumors and media that they consume.

I’m honored, truly. I try my best 🥹
Tbh I probably saw someone else say it before and just used it myself.
- Comment on So close! 3 weeks ago:
I know it’s overused but cliches are cliche for a reason, so I love it when people say “So close!” and then make fun of someone for saying some braindead shit.
Also reminds me of some stupid ad I saw for expensive ass chlorophyll powder packets to put in your water. My sibling in christ, eat a fucking salad with spinach if you want chlorophyll.

Quick video about what body type women think is attractive vs what men thought women think is attractive.
Spoiler alert: Most men think they have to be ripped like a Marvel superhero while most women thought that shit looked scary and wanted the slightly toned body or the dad bod.
Please don’t starve/dehydrate yourself, take steroids, and stay at the gym for 5 hours everyday. Exercise and be healthy because it’s good for you and that you love yourself. Be as normal as you can be. Take a shower, clean your room, do hobbies and activities, including outdoor ones.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 4 weeks ago:
The DS had plenty of fantastic games, but when it comes to a game I feel had the most beautiful example of using the controls in a creative way, I’d say The World Ends With You takes the cake.
I’ve literally never played a game that needed such a high degree of multitasking, not just for mental multitasking, but also hand-eye coordination. Playing that game on Hard mode felt crazy, and I literally never unlocked Master mode. Balancing between the top and bottom screen characters was such a challenge, especially if you’re actually trying to make use of the green puck for more damage. The fact that each partner has their own battle method is fantastic too, as you never get too comfortable with one character until you finish the game.
Add in fantastic art design, catchy soundtrack, funny & memorable main cast, and you get absolute peak. I can’t believe Square let that game rot for more than a decade. The Neo TWEWY sequel was pretty good too, but nothing will literally ever compare to the original’s controls. It’s just so addicting man.
- Comment on I hope i don't get downvoted for this 4 weeks ago:
Not OP, but typically asexual is perceived as not having any sexual attraction/having minimal sexual attraction to anyone, regardless of gender. It’s like the opposite of pansexual (attraction to anyone regardless of gender).
Everything is a spectrum of course, which is why people talk about the graysexual area, where you have some attraction but there’s extra things that make it not the “typical” experience of allosexuals (those who experience sexual attraction). Things like Demisexual (attraction only after having a close bond), Aegosexual (having sexual arousal and fantasies, but you don’t think of yourself in those fantasies), etc. These are all microlables to help people narrow down how they feel.
So if you have a distinct and noticeable sexual attraction to one gender, you probably are allosexual (straight, lesbian, gay, etc.). Note, however, that romantic ≠ sexual, and you can be asexual but only date men, or be asexual and date both men and women.

Man the soundtrack alone could get me to play Katamari games. I got a birthday gift card recently and was deciding what game to get, when one of the OSTs came up on YT Music and I listened to it for like a week straight. Immediately got We ❤️ Katamari + DLC on 80% sale.
Could scream that shit in my car honestly.

- Comment on Punctuation 5 weeks ago:
I’m not sure if you’re joking or not…
It should be: dog**,** pussy is the best I swear man that shit changes your mood
If you don’t put the comma after dog, then it looks like you’re talking about a dog’s pussy. By putting the comma, the reader knows the speaker is using the word dog as a nickname for a person, and is telling “dog” (a person) about how much they love eating pussy. The comma is necessary for clarification.
Let’s eat Grandma vs. Let’s eat**,** Grandma Help robbers! vs Help**,** robbers! etc.

If it’s a cotton sports bra, or really just any non clip bra that isn’t skin tight and a soft material, then I could do it, and actually have forgotten one time and fell asleep while wearing it. But I hate clip bras and will never wear them unless literally forced to do so.
