…but 7 out of 8 times it’s in the US.

I’m kinda bad at explaining but I’ll toss some more names (as well as reiterating suggestions for FMA03, Mushishi and Planetes, all 3 great shows):

-Gankutsuou: Sci-Fi reimagining of the Count of Monte Cristo. It has some weird choices but it’s overall really good.

-Kaiji: an indebted guy does gambling to try to solve his problems. Lots of mind games and suspense, way better than what it sounds like. One of my personal favorites.

-Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni: Horror/Mystery series set in a secluded village. It has some clichès and the animation… isn’t the best, but I really liked it personally. Don’t bother with the third and fourth seasons that came out recently (or do, but they’re honestly not needed at all).

-Monster: Thriller about an ex-Surgeon trying to find a past patient turned murderer. From Urasawa, if you know the name.

-Paranoia Agent: Mystery semi-episodic series about a lot of different characters, their life struggles and a mysterious boy going around beating people with a golden bat for no apparent reason. From Satoshi Kon (his movies are all really good too btw).

Whoops, you’re right, my bad. I’m not a native speaker and mixed “grifter” with “griefer”.

They wanted those kids to go at a concert and “spread the gospel” to people who paid to be there. Not sure about you, but I know I wouldn’t take that well.

Wait, what was the joke? I didn’t downvote but definitely got wooshed.

Well, they’re right in the sense that Internet is very unforgiving about anything that anyone ever did, no matter if they stopped or not.

Doesn’t mean it’s a good practice and they should be justified in doing it as well, though.

Syrc, 1 year ago to lemmyshitpost in I knew it all along!

In the U.S., education is mostly about being able to regurgitate what you’ve been told.

Wait, are there places where it’s not?

Ah yes, my favorite movie https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/6cca59db-9d65-4483-9ed7-a87a7a12b328.jpeg

Syrc, 1 year ago to memes in I never learn my lesson

VTuber fandom has the extreme opposites. By just being in the Hololive community I’ve seen people being absolute gems and creating content that everyone loves (Kay Yu, Kanauru, 2ManySnacks)… and on the other side people gatekeeping everything, way too parasocial fans, thirst everywhere and extreme tribalism.

If you stop at top comments/posts it’s usually a great experience, you just have to learn to stop scrolling when the toxicity begins.

Syrc, 1 year ago to piracy in Love devs' attitude towards piracy, TruePianos v1.9.8 (audio VSTi plugin)

Yes, but as you said, you can’t know if you’ll like the game or not until you try it. It works with standalone games as well if you pirate before buying, but it’s usually not aimed at pirates: no one sane will pirate a game, find out they dislike it, and buy it anyway. It goes without saying.

It’s more the people who already bought games that need to hear that “so you bought the last two mainline Pokémon games and they both sucked ass? Don’t fall for it again, vote with your wallet and stay away from the next one”.

Imo “vote with your wallet” is more about companies/brands that have proven to do shitty games, as in “don’t buy any more games/dlcs/microtransactions from them”.

Depends on what do you mean by “taste like olives”.

For example, someone saying pizzas all taste like pizzas could be right if they mean that they all have the base taste of the dough. But then the overall taste is very different based on the toppings.

Taggiasche olives have a much stronger taste, something that’s usually made with Green ones would probably suck made with them and vice versa, that’s what I mean.

You don’t mess with Italians about olives.

Try some taggiasche and tell me they taste like green ones.

Syrc, 1 year ago (edited 1 year ago) to piracy in I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

What? I’ve been using iPhones with pirated songs for 10+ years and never had this happen.

Genuinely curious, I know Apple does shit like that sometimes so I wouldn’t put it past them, but I’ve never seen happen or heard about this.
