C’mon now, the kid would know who wins before drawing it. (it’s Vader)

Violet Evergarden isn’t sad enough. It highlights how sad things can and do happen, but it gets there by highlighting how happy they needed to be for that to even be troubling in the first place.

Given Violet’s own arc through the entire thing, the show overall ends up as a celebration of things that are worth fighting for, and a discomfiting reminder that nobody is guaranteed anything. Much like Violet herself, the story fights to the very end and never gives up.

If it makes anyone want to kill themselves though, they really missed the core of the show. It can also make you want to fight.

Vegetarian yes, vegan no.

edit: Y’alls know the basic, most commonly used definitions are just that vegetarians won’t eat animals but will consume other animal products, whereas veganism is about consuming no animals or animal products, right?

So, milk. Vegetarians can drink it, strict veganism prohibits it. Boogers are no different, an animal product.

I swear, kids these days.

So, an interesting point of detail, is a game “gooder” when it perfectly executes its formula after countless iterations, like FF6 did, or is it better when it innovates in a new way, bringing together new ideas into a magical, if occasionally rough-around-the-edges, novel new approach that others start copying, as Doom did?

Also, are we looking at them from the perspective of their time, where Pac Man was once the pinnacle of gaming itself, or from a modern, more objective perspective, where Pac Man struggles to provide the same value as BotW does almost half a century later?

I have to regretfully agree. I find this continuing assertion that defederating Meta properties will somehow dramatically harm the Fediverse to be unfounded. I have not yet encountered any convincing argument for how defederating Threads is any kind of suicide whatsoever. We have no Threads now, and seem to be doing quite well.

Is Beehaw still doing fine, yes? They defederated rather harshly, in a far more delicate time than now.

Yeah, but I’m still doing it on purpose to help the community grow. Somebody’s gotta fill this place with content, and at the end of the day that’s our job.

Normally I’m more of a commenter exclusively unless I need the services of a specific community. (video game question usually) But the Lemmy project has sent me digging for all the best youtube stuff I’ve seen in basically the past decade and then finding the community to shove it in.
