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 Day 402 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 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. 3 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 3 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 3 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 Anon watches youtube 1 week ago:
Yeah, was gonna say this. Like what YTs are y’all watching? My subscriptions and recommendations are randos playing games with their friends, memes, cat vids, and randos talking about interesting topics or the latest shitty Tiktok trend that I can be horrified by. I’m very lost as to everyone only finding these talent/corporate YTs.
I definitely have encountered the corporate YTs in the VTuber community, and I honestly think that’s why I hate Agency VTs so much compared to indie VTs. Watching Hololive/Kurosanji is like watching a bunch of coworkers play Mario Kart. Yeah, you “know” them and “get along”, but only in the superficial sense, cause you have to pay your bills. The shit always blows up later on anyway. Way more fun to watch some random with a mid setup play some obscure horror game by themselves or with actual friends.

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 Florida ounces 2 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 2 weeks ago:
Go to settings > appearance > theme, and there should be a category saying “System”, pick between Android and Apple.
- Comment on Florida ounces 2 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 What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 3 weeks ago:
Oh man, the moment I clicked on this thread, Trails came into mind. Now, I myself haven’t played it, but my mother is close to finishing Kevin’s game, and we were speaking at the the next few games and the most recent one to be released. And man, I don’t even know if I wanna play this series anymore.
The anime tropes we saw and read about from people’s reviews are killing us, and me and my mom fucking love anime. Hell, she’s a shonen-anime lover through and through. But the way the older characters like Agate get yassified into looking like generic anime guy #1 with red hair and Zin into slightly less generic anime guy #2 kills me, these dudes should not look like college kids 😭
The shitty romance that they’re hinting between Agate and Tita is 🤢. I really wish they had kept them as a sibling dynamic, and I thought Tita’s mom was freaking out because she thought he was a pervert, not that he actually liked her…
Also found out about the adopted siblings from TS:CS that seem to like each other, which is creepier than Estelle x Joshua because this pair was raised together since they were literal toddlers unlike the original two… God Japan’s not-by-blood adopt a son to marry thing kills me. The adopt a son to marry is fine if the girl wasn’t raised with him or like, they’re 20 years old. But this, “we literally were raised like siblings” thing kills me sometimes.
But yeah the egregious fan service, flanderization, and overall lack of seriousness that we saw from some of the newer games made me be like “maybe I won’t pick this game up,” which is a shame. I’m really disappointed to hear about the anime gender tropes stuff…
- Comment on Nintendo survey seeks feedback on controversial game-key cards, physical and digital purchases | VGC 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but physical cartridges can be sold or given away to others if you no longer want the game or didn’t like it. You can make eternal backups with tools and help others, as we know that media doesn’t last forever. You OWN the game. I have a couple digital games, but my family has box upon box of physical games. It’s the fact that if you ever get these consoles later in life, you’ll never be able to play the game because support will be cut for your console. So if a game is digital/keycard only, it’s lifespan is only as long as the support. As someone who has been playing several of my mom’s old PS1-3 and GC games, I’d be devastated if I could never play those old games due to bullshit like the keycards.
And if game companies can’t make a game without any major bugs on day 1, then maybe they should take more time to make a quality game. Minor bugs are fine, but something game breaking shouldn’t be brushed off and treated like a standard.
I’m already upset thinking about games we bought in the past that we might’ve not realized won’t work without Internet. This shouldn’t become a norm.
- Comment on AI slop is ruining all of our favorite places to scroll 3 weeks ago:
I was an advid Pinterest user until the excessive ads around 3 years ago, and that was right as the AI art was starting to flood the place. I just liked looking at Anime art, memes, and making boards of my favorite media cause something about categories makes my brain tick. But I feel like Pixelfed doesn’t meet the exact needs Pinterest people have.
I might be dumb but from a quick test on both Pixelix (Android app I use) and the Pixelfed Webapp, Collections seems to be a collection of posts by you, not a collection of saved posts from others. They’re either a draft, public, or followers only, not private option. Also the bookmark button seems to not work on either client either, like what does it even do?
Anyway, yeah Pinterest is a hellhole now, but until Pixelfed cleans up the UI a bit more and adds more features, I don’t think it can really be called a replacement.

Figured lol, he’s the usual culprit for any cute gijinka of a current trend.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 3 weeks ago:
Is this Merryweathery? I swear he’s always the one doing these gijinkas (Internet Explorer-chan, Twitter-chan, Switch-chan, etc.)
- Comment on Something to think about 3 weeks ago:
Okay, is there like good ways to discover music via the Fediverse? Cause like, forgive me for still clinging to YT Music, I like finding new music and it gets stale every now and then since I don’t have history turned on for recommendations.
At this rate I’m gonna start making daily/weekly Mastodon posts about what I listened to in hopes of someone just commenting similar sounding artists.
- Dubstep is nice, not my fave EDM sub-genre tho (DnB, Breakcore, and Jungle all the way!)
- Comment on The worst thing about Linux is its users 3 weeks ago:
Eh, I think outside of potential language/accessibility/hardware incompatibility issues that I’ve read on blogs/comments, Linux works for the “average” user. It’s the slightly “advanced” user like me who struggles, and the “truly advanced” who swim like a duck in water in any distro. Like the bell curve meme.
I say this cause if I literally only needed some apps and the browser, I wouldn’t struggle. But I do tinker with things and end up needing slightly uncommon software/features that require me to use the CLI (and my dumbass can’t remember commands), even though I’m mid at using the CLI. Meanwhile, people born with a usb-stick in hand love the CLI and use it for everything, even things I would try to avoid unless I felt it was easier.
A kid I know has put his grandparents on Fedora, and has no issues. It comes down to the person. If they can click some buttons and read, and only wanna use office, browser, and a app or two, they’d probably live. Yeah, you might have to tinker how it looks for them or put the apps on the desktop, but outside of that, it’s simple.
Windows definitely doesn’t “just work”, I had to figure out Windows decided to kill my Wifi adapter whenever my laptop would go in sleep (god… why???). OneDrive is an ass, devices not wanting to connect (Bluetooth controllers), printers, etc. I’ll give you that Mac works pretty well for those who like it, but I hate Apple and never got used to Mac. I still can’t remove some shitty old virus scanner that doesn’t work anyway and it can’t update anymore, so it just rots on our computer. So like, Mac has their off-days with me too (one time FF nuked itself…)
- Comment on The worst thing about Linux is its users 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, my grandma had to call my mom and I to help her with Windows to stop uploading everything to OneDrive, and even I fucking hate fighting Windows over OneDrive. I think she could live with Fedora or Mint and be okay, unless there’s a specific app she needed.
My grandma actually used to be a computer professor back in the 80s or so, but I guess use it or lose it lol.
