Jack of random trades at random times that randomly catch my interest for a random amount of time.
Ohhhh, no no. The raids and dungeons are challenging and ridiculously hard. I get what you're saying now. It hasn't been like that since I started up again, which was right when Gundabad released. It's very easy to solo, and now there's an NPC that lets you change world difficulty if you want to opt for it, making it so that the hardcore players and the casual players both get what they want.
I hear you. I haven't touched it in a while because I will literally lose months of my life to it. Its harder for me because its one of my gf's favorite games and when she plays I can't help but play.
I absolutely love LOTRO, too. I understand what you mean. The endgame content is pretty advanced, but I had this conversation with someone on Reddit years ago.
It doesn't have to be hard. There is so much content in LOTRO to last you years of playing new classes and enjoying the world. Throw out all of your max level up items, they're going to ruin the game for you. Just go out adventuring. I've had a good time during anniversary helping people through old dungeons (I hate you, Saruman).
The endgame is hard, because half the community beats endgame and complains that there's no content, and half the community just plays casually. They don't really have the power to keep pushing out quantity in content, so they have to make ridiculously hard and rewarding content to make up for it. It's really a lose-lose either way, and they chose to keep the community that has been faithful for years over trying to pull in new players.
It sucks, I agree, but I think I would have made the same choice. I still love playing and wandering around; leveling new classes, and you can now get new titles for playing new difficulty modes they made. You can change the world difficulty starting at level 10, I believe.
Damn, you beat me to it. Mushi Shi is an unfinished masterpiece and severely underrated. I had some I wanted to add to this list, but honestly some have blood and such which I don't know exactly what you'd want for an early teens daughter. I would have recommended Delicious in Dungeon, but there are some dismemberment scenes and it sort of downplays death, as you can and can't die in the dungeon. Lemme try to see what I can dig up from my history though.
- Kimi ni Todoke - It is romance, but its so fluffy and goes lightly into what bullying can do to people as well as showing that people are not always who they seem on the outside. Touches on judging others, but remains extremely lighthearted.
- Saiki K - One of the few anime that has made me legitimately laugh. It's nonsensical and good for most ages. I'm usually a romance buff, but this one drew me in when I curiously watched the first episode.
- Spice and Wolf - I watched the original and started the remake. I think either should be fine. Great adventure story with a bit of romance.
- Ballroom Youkoso - So this will fall a bit into the unhealthy relationships. I can't remember if there was any nudity, but it does stem from the viewpoint of a hormonal teenage boy. However, the art of the dancing is absolutely stunning. Just beware the necks. Iirc, there are crazy long necks in this one, lol.
- Yuri on Ice - Similar to Ballroom Youkoso, but has a bit of an unhealthy relationship as a side story, iirc. I haven't seen it all, just a bit of it and can't remember much. I really enjoyed the skating scenes, which are very similar to the dancing scenes in Ballroom. It is a boys' love, but that's not the main point of the anime.
- Spy x Family - Haven't seen it all, but what I have seen is great and seems good for younger generations.
- Arakawa Under the Bridge - Okay, this may be a bit much at times, but damn if its not hilarious and mysterious. There is some non-showy nudity, I think, but its more like bathing and such, nothing extreme.
- Dr. Stone - This should be all around a good pick for multiple ages. Apocalyptic scenario with reinventing the wheel as the theme.
- Cells at Work! - Another one I've seen little of, but it was pretty good and teaches a fair bit about the internal human anatomy.
- Silver Spoon - Anime based around farming. It's a happy little anime with a bit of serious undertones for the background of the characters. Made by the creator of Full Metal Alchemist. I would also recommend FMA, but there may be some parts of that anime that could be a bit scary for younger teens.
- Komi Can't Communicate - Another good romance base. It starts around misunderstandings and the fear of speaking in public, but devolves later into just a regular slapstick romcom. However, that's mostly in the manga where it goes far beyond the anime.
- My Hero Academia - I did get into this for a bit, but it sorta fell off my radar for no particular reason.
- Frieren: Journey's End - Have not watched all of this, but the first 3 episodes were amazing and the story is endearing as well as very emotional. A great adventure with a touch of tragedy, but it seems well recommended for all ages.
I have many more, but I have watched a disgusting amount of anime and can't remember everything. I've been watching anime and reading manga since 2006, lol. Please, anyone correct me on any of these. My memory is hazy, especially when it comes to older anime I watched a long time ago.
Oooh. I can have my Breath of the Wild time of day wallpapers again? I had something setup on Windows where three wallpapers (BotW landcape day, night, and sunset/rise) would change five times a day depending on the time.
Hopefully the day comes soon when we can just leave Windows behind altogether. I wouldn't be surprised if they ruin dualboot on purpose with every update.
Just thinking of commands I need to learn, and I think
chrootis up there. Iirc, you can recover from some extremely bad system states with an ISO andchroot.I understand the basics of what it does from it's description, I just haven't really dived deep enough to feel comfortable with it.
Prompt wizard. Nice work.
I still love Lord of the Rings Online. It still has enough people to feel alive, to the point where they even upgraded their servers recently, and still keeps that old school feel. You can even earn LOTRO points through hunting monsters and quests, so if you put the work in you don't even need to buy anything.
Do I miss the days before MTX? Yeah, but I feel like they are fairly less greedy about it than other games. Fairly. There's still the VIP subscription while double-dipping into MTX that rubs me the wrong way a bit, but they still actively try to listen to the players. I'll be sad when its gone...
Its mostly much older generations that play, though, but that really cuts down on a lot of the toxicity. I've had so many polite conversations in world chat with programmers and sysadmins offering advice. One of the most helpful players I met was a 72 year old vietnam veteran. He helped me get started and gave me a ton of gear just for having a nice talk with him.
I won't be able to ever shake off Harry Potter. I don't think of points and views, I just love the idea of another world to go learn magic away from tech and such. I don't read or listen to it for the political points, or whatever other trash she's hidden in there. I read it as a form of escapism.
That said, I absolutely hate Rowling. Its to the point that I'm embarrassed that I still like HP. I hate the stupid shit that pukes out her mouth and I hate that she's taken a whole fanbase down with her. I feel like, for just liking Harry Potter, I'm labeled a patriarchal fascist and that's not my stance at all. I was an innocent kid who fell in love and still uses the books as a safe place to this very day, because I took refuge in them when my mother was at her most abusive (physically and mentally).
When I was very young, I would daydream about being taken away from her to another world to just dive into magic. She would lie to my therapists and tell them I had mental issues and a vivid imagination. That it was all in my head that she abused me. No one believed me when I cried for help. I was tested for autism. I was diagnosed with severe ADHD. There was one time in elementary school where they tried to take my video game magazine from me in class and I was hysterical, screaming that the demons in my head were going to get me. They blamed the magazine material (Mortal Kombat with Baraka on the front cover, I actually still have it). I was treated as though I was crazy.
It was pure, mind-altering hell. She won every court case over my father on the mere fact that she was my mother. She tried to have me put on numerous drugs as a kid, but my father refused and they needed both parent's consent. So that's why I'm irrationally addicted to the books. I'm not so vulnerable as to have my moral views swayed by a fictional story. However, Rowling will never get another cent from me if I can help it. My audiobooks are already pirated as is. I just wish I could be more honest about loving the books without having to tell this story and not be regarded as a piece of shit for liking them.

It definitely got less hyperactive and more fogbrain, as I like to call it.
I used to use the Ubuntu Font until I found the glory of Recursive.
Knock knock. Do you have a moment to talk about Recursive font? What about the weighted Recursive Duotone Nerd Font that makes bold and commented sections casual font?
Godless heathen here.
Yeah, but what's more feasible? Uniting a complacent society and not knowing when or where your next meal will be, or taking a hot check home and living comfortably? Especially when kids come into the mix. Why do you think they want to push the "have kids" and anti-abortion agenda? Because you're only going to think about the best for your family and the best is stability and peace when it comes to children.
I don't disagree with you, but I don't condemn the little people trying to survive, either.

They do, but not all the time. Most people can stay on one subject. With some ND individuals, particularly those with ADHD, one subject is every subject depending on what you are thinking at the time.
Carnivals could have easily become candy making videos, because spinning cotton candy is like the process of candy making on a tiny level, but hey, have you seen them break a candy bubble in this vid?
Candy like that is actually really hot and I bet those burns suck if you get one. I grabbed a stick in the fire once and didn't see the hot coal on the end, so I could only imagine what molten candy would do to you.
Its basically molding edible magma. Speaking of magma, did you know that Old Faithful is an underground volcano and if it erupted it would probably destroy half of North America? At least, that's what I heard.
From here we could go onto apocalypse talk, National Parks, or even the Yellowstone TV series. The world is your oyster and your brain will not stop.
Lemmy is actually better on this. I get a lot of upvotes for well thought-out long posts and comments here as well as humorous one-liners. I've been pleasantly surprised that people actually take the time to read out my longer posts. On reddit it'd probably just get lost and be another 1 thumber that never got read.
The key is also to make your story interesting. Something that pulls your reader in. Be personal and amicable. Realize you're talking to real people and speak to those people in your writing. I'm more of a creative writing buff. I managed to eek out 98th percentile for creative writing in my SATs. I love writing. Its my favorite thing to do. I want to be an author. I fucking hate my ADHD. I've started a hundred books at least and either bore myself or tell myself its a stupid plot, even though I have friends and family begging for me to finish something.
My early books were written in small notebooks. The old ones that sorta looked like they had cowprint covers with a title on them. They'd get passed around the school for weeks. I'd get them back and people would keep asking me to continue. I never did. Fuck me, I hate ADHD sometimes. But your words are alive. They can heal, hurt, cause laughter and tears, and, above all, words can influence anything. Words are power and, as long as you are careful of that power, you can write any damn length you want.
Honestly, my fear now is AI. I like AI, but I don't want to write a book and have people claim its AI or AI assisted. I'm regretting not writing one earlier now.
tl;dr: Is k. Writ stuf.
Yup. I do this 100%. But mostly it's because sometimes I get so hot on the subject, it feels good to get it out there and then I worry I was too brash about it. A trick I use is to leave the comment written on my phone in the background. Maybe I'll send it, but more often than not I clear it out when I clean up my background apps and go, "Well, that was decided for me."

My posts and comments here on Lemmy speak for themselves...
D-tecnoLife, but I just enjoy old school Bleach for the nostalgia. I do really like op1, though, and its a close match for me.
Speaking of, I was exploring some of my favorite animators, AC-bu, a few years ago, and found this which took me a second: Orange Range - Sushi Tabetai
I found my first AC-bu animation with Powder - New Tribe, then POLICEMAN110 - GAL (a must watch/listen, lmao). They did a lot of stuff for group_inou, too, who I became a fan of. I saw this vid after that and the voice was just so familiar. Then it hit me who it was, lol.
I haven't used base Firefox in years, tbh. I'm sure that there's honestly no harm or foul here, but I'm not risking it anyway. I was using Zen, but Zen bloated itself so fast. You can now visually see a huge difference when switching from Zen to Floorp, so now Floorp is my number one again. Its a shame because Zen is gorgeous, but it was twenty times faster literally just two months ago. I can say for now that both Zen and Floorp don't ask you to agree to the ToS.
For android I've been using Fennec. Its taken the mantle of Mull since Mull shut down and has everything you could want in a mobile browser. I have tried Ironfox, too, and its not too bad, but it has issues when opening through other apps and a lot of browser based logins don't recognize inside their apps when you login through it. Two more honorable mentions for Android: Iceraven and Fulguris. Iceraven is a slightly more stripped down Fennec with less search engines and such, and Fulguris is it's own thing, but has some of the problems that Ironfox does.
