Favorite Ghibli Film, and Why?

Princess Mononoke is my favorite for sure. I love the character design, the setting, the environmental storytelling. And wulfy

Besides that though…I really really liked Spirited Away. So rich and nuanced. I liked the twists and turns the film took

Some people have experiences which have left them embittered towards a younger, more hopeful generation. Despite 100's of years of exploitation, absolute failure, and hundreds of millions of people starving to death, getting killed for things such as not wanting to work weekends, and sent to work to death for having the absolute cajones to do what they need to do to provide for their loved ones, they STILL insist that capitalism is the only way forward because it's the only thing they've ever known.

The average human may not stand out amid 8 billion other people, but each and every person is unique and therefore special in their own way.

Everyone wants to work, to do something, but no one wants to have a job because your worth as a human shouldn't be tied to how much money you can earn for someone else. (And, inb4 "art is not a job", that is so fucking disingenuous; if you think that art isn't essential, then STOP listening to music, STOP watching television and movies, STOP reading books and newspapers, and then get back to me.) People naturally provide for those they care for and, news flash, people care about other people and their identities.

I know you're probably just trolling because you hate your life under capitalism and need to feel like you're a part of something, but like join the club bro.

Is there a computer game, or a specific moment, a fight etc that you wish you could do fresh with no prior memory of it?

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.

What will you do if reddit undoes API changes?

I’m in the process of abandoning my Reddit account. I abandoned my Twitter a little while before the Muskening and once it became finalized I really didn’t want to go back, but I kind of regret not saving more memes/screenshots so I’m making sure to actually archive things this time.

I don’t want to go back. The fediverse has everything and more; I would like to think that we can keep up this wonderful sense of community here. Meanwhile the toxicity on Reddit has gotten even worse.

It’s like having the opportunity to have an amicable separation from a toxic ex.

How NOT to market your new series

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)

What mobile games are keeping your attention these days? (Preferably iOS compatible)

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!

‘3 Body Problem’: Sci-Fi Drama Series From ‘Game Of Thrones’ Creators & Alexander Woo Gets Netflix Premiere Date, First Look Teaser

Okay, so, I am not thrilled about D&D writing/producing but Rian Johnson is somewhat exciting. Also I really really enjoyed the books. Especially during the last one, I would be a million light-years away daydreaming about them.

Side note: if anyone is interested in this show but is hesitant about the Netflix adaptation, Tencent has a really faithful, really engaging adaptation. It’s available on their streaming app, as well as Amazon Prime and on YouTube (where you can watch all 30 episodes for free.)
