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!

Tbh I probably saw someone else say it before and just used it myself.

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? 1 week 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 1 week 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.

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.

I had a friend who complained about the high windows that you can’t even see out of in his high school, and he swore up and down that the building used to be a prison. I tried looking it up now to see the history, but I can’t find anything lol. Wouldn’t be surprised though if they actually were former prisons and the school just didn’t want the stigma associated with them.
- Comment on Hideo Kojima proposes a game where the protagonist forgets abilities if players take too long a break 3 weeks ago:
God…
If you put a gacha down for like half a year, you’re close to quiting. God forbid if it’s a year plus, you might as well drop it with how anyone you used is guaranteed to no longer be meta.
I’ve been on pause from Genshin since before they dropped the 4th region, Sumeru, which was like 3? years ago. I’ve given up all hope of ever playing the game again, because I know it will be impossible with the few shit 5 stars I’ve managed to scrape together. I keep telling myself I’ll pick up HSR again after dropping it a month or two after release, and even then I dread doing their shitty “designed for the new meta waifu” trial fights.
I love gachas but lord they make it a full time job. Cookie Run Kingdom is literally the only one I have the heart to keep up with, and even Ovenbreak has lost me.

Picked up Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story like 10 years later after giving up on it as a kid and had NO fucking idea of what I was doing. I remember bitching about the hard as fuck train minigame/mini-boss fight you have to do (perfectly, mind you) that I thought I couldn’t beat for the life of me. But I got back and was in a completely different area, not knowing how to leave or get back to where I needed to be.
I really need to beat that game, it was my first M&L side game…
- Comment on Nintendo warns that it can brick Switch consoles if it detects hacking, piracy 3 weeks ago:
If you hack your console and put it on the internet, don’t be surprised that you’re bricked. Do I think it’s a little extreme to brick a Switch that hasn’t even joined an online game? Yes, that does suck, but realistically any game company is not going to knowingly let you use a device that is hacked. Once again, if it’s just an account brick, then who cares, make a new one (why would you hack with your main account?). Hardware bricks are pretty shitty, but there’s no way you could fight that in court (I deserve the right to hack my console and get free games?).
Once they stop making updates, you’ll own the switch anyway, as then they don’t give a fuck/can’t do shit about hackers. I’ve hacked my WiiU and several 3DS because there are no more new updates to ever brick them, they’re obsolete/abandoned consoles.
- Comment on Nintendo warns that it can brick Switch consoles if it detects hacking, piracy 3 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, it totally depends on the game. I do play and love the highly replayable stuff, but those games I almost never pirate, it’s usually something I already bought or would buy.I think one of the few non-online replayable games I’ve pirated was Rhythm Heaven on 3DS.
- Comment on Nintendo warns that it can brick Switch consoles if it detects hacking, piracy 3 weeks ago:
My comment is not personally directed at you, it’s just more about how everyone and their mom is talking about Nintendo’s recent decisions on piracy. Literally every tech/gaming community on Lemmy (and social media in general) is talking about it, and I’m tired of seeing it every day. I don’t mean to belittle you about your last console being the SNES, it’s just frustrating rhetoric that others have repeated because they truly seem to think Switch 2 is the only console doing this.
I understand what you mean about how someone who pirates probably would’ve never bought the game anyway, just like people (including me) who watch playthroughs of games that they never would’ve bought, hence tbe company was never gonna make money anyway. But even if companies know that fact, they’re not gonna just ignore people who break their ToS to pirate because they don’t want to lose money.
As you stated, you buy music of the stuff you originally pirated, and some game pirates might do that. But music has replay value compared to a lot of games. Once I finish a long RPG, there’s a very unlikely chance I’m picking it back up again, unless it’s many years later or it’s a hand-me-down to someone. If I pirated and played that type of game, I’m unlikely to buy it because why bother, other than to show support to the devs?
Companies don’t want to lose those who pirated and potentially would’ve bought the game. The whole point of piracy is that it has to be more convenient than buying the game, and since they know homebrewing can get to a very comfortable point, they don’t want to lose people to that.

Oh my god if I see one more “YOuR SwItCh 2 WiLl Be BrIckEd, NiNtEnDo iS aNtI cOnSuMeR!1!1!” post
Every fucking modern console with an internet connection does this. Switch 1 does this. If you hack your console, keep it off the internet. Brain dead easy. Furthermore, are we talking account brick/ban, or full hardware brick, because obviously they’re going to brick your account for online play, because hackers. If it’s a hardware brick (without being on the internet), then that would suck (but is not surprising, obviously duh Nintendo doesn’t want to lose money).
People will figure out how to hack Switch 2, give it a few years. Emulators of varying quality will be made, and will be of good quality eventually.
If you don’t want Switch 2 for the price, don’t buy it. Simple as that.

- Comment on Android updates: thanks I hate it. 3 weeks ago:
I loved my 7G Play like it was my own child in middle school. It was my third phone, and not a hand-me-down like the Note 4 and the iPhone 6? that I had previously. Kids used to green bubble shame and be like “OMG wtf is a Motorola?!?!” but I loved it. I didn’t do too much crazy shit on it cause I still was a less-curious middle schooler, but I did get a cracked version of a wallpaper app to use this special Persona 5 background, and I loved it. I didn’t love my next hand-me-down iPhone X nearly as much, in fact I hated it so much in highschool that once I graduated my mom got me my current Pixel 8a as a gift.
I tested putting a custom ROM on my old Motorola to prepare for doing GrapheneOS on my Pixel (silly, since they literally have a button to do it for you on the website) and once it loaded up LineageOS it felt like Christmas again. I seriously almost considered using it again, and was just so happy to scroll through it lol.
- Comment on Android updates: thanks I hate it. 3 weeks ago:
Oh boy, can’t wait to see this garbage on my Samsung Tab 9. My mom upgraded me from my dusty, way beyond eol Kindle Fire that I had, cause I I really do on it is watch YT and read/web browse. Was excited, until I realized I couldn’t custom ROM it like my precious Pixel.
Like another comment said, Samsung/One UI is truly the Apple of Android, and it’s dogshit. So much bloat that I had to disable/delete, random UI changes that oversimplify/water down personality, stupid settings I will literally never use, etc.
The best I could get is a stock Android GSI, but I’m not sure if potential bugs and battery life issues would occur, and I don’t want to root.

- Comment on Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy 3 weeks ago:
Yeah the Nintendo vitriol for the past month has been funny. I get it, companies are not our friends, and Nintendo has done a lot of shit to be mad at. The game keycards are dogwater, but this concept of buy cartridge and download the rest is not new. Sony and Xbox have literally done the same shit for years, and Nintendo did this with some large games on Switch 1.
Another comment showed Sony will brick hacked consoles that get on the internet. Switch 1 also does this.
The price sucks, but it’s definitely tariffs, since the console is like a whole hundred dollars cheaper in Japan.
If you wanna pirate/emulate, pirate/emulate. I just don’t like pirating current gen consoles, and it’s a hassle to do so on Switch 1 if you got a newer one. Plus switch emulation on steam deck seems to be iffy for some games… I pirate/emulate old consoles cause they’re dead and they’re not making money on them anyway. Sometimes you just want to buy a game and enjoy them, especially for online ones like Splatoon.
I’ll just wait for the price to be reasonable one day.

Before they went all out nuclear with ads, promoted content, shops, and AI slop, I was using Pinterest a shit ton to look at fanart and memes (mostly stolen/reposted art, but real human art at least). I’d be on there for an hour or so every other day tbh, I liked making boards of my fixations and shit.
Then the app went to hell a few years back and I ditched it, because the web version sucks, and I didn’t know about LibRedirect instances. Now I just don’t bother with the place anymore.

God I have rolled my ankle a shit ton doing physical activities and simply walking, to the point both feet have rolled several times, and to the point where I needed physical therapy. I am fucked on uneven terrain, and even when walking in my house on kitchen tiled floor I have rolled and tripped.
Physical therapy at least made it so it doesn’t hurt anymore when I roll, and I’m not out of commission for the next hour.
I’m not even of legal drinking age, I’ll probably die by falling down the stairs at 50 or smth.
