Fediverse does everything I require out of social media. Functionality of threadiverse is mostly there and getting better (Piefed will probably replace Lemmy as the go-to eventually), apps are better. Mastodon / microblogging was always good enough for communicating with real people, it’s when you’re an influencer you run into limitations but who cares about that. Maybe there aren’t that many people that are into this and that’s okay because we’re not a corporation that needs to report quarterly growth forever.

Apologies for my scatterbrain. In that case I’d go with BotW because it’s shorter/focused (others will say it’s too minimalist) and you’ll get to experience a modern Zelda game. Also, if you don’t own Switch 2 it runs good enough while TotK was just a bit too much for Switch 1.

TotK is better in every way but BotW is once in a lifetime experience due to how contemplative it can be. You’re not going to play both at the same time and they benefit from playing in order. If you’re low on cash buy some used copy of BotW off someone on Vinted* and sell on Vinted once done, then do TotK.

While Chrono Trigger and FFVI are among my all time favourites, they’re kind of like an prog rock superbands. They’re a pinnacle of the era, impossible to top in their own categories. But if you know where to look there are probably some guys doing stuff as impressive, if not more, out of their garages. Sea of Stars and Chained Echoes come to mind.

I use an iPhone and a Mac but I assume Android as a more open platform has even more of those.

Like those?

I’ve only ever used a single huge public tracker for manga and anime and it’s still there. I assume there are more but I never bothered to look.

Why would manga piracy ever get hard, unless they stopped printing it on paper?

Also gave up on ToTK on Switch 1. There’s so much fighting and fiddling in UI at the same time that it was just unbearable with 30 FPS.

76 shrines in, Master Sword obtained, Lurelein liberated, Korok Forest restored, still yet to start any main quests.

There are more important things to get angry over. Getting angry over hats is just tribalism.

Just 3 months ago Kojima was sporting „Make TV Great Again” hat with zero backlash. I think people look for ways to be outraged.

Please downvote this more to prove my point about pointless tribalism.

Iran can’t get nukes quick enough.

There’s less pictures there and it’s sold out. I tend not to link to storefronts too because I’m not a salesman.

PiS went through two different crises (pandemic, 2nd invasion of Ukraine) and did much better comparatively. Poland was barely touched by 2008 GFC and was lauded as island of economic growth but it was much worse time to live through because KO chose austerity rather than an actual state intervention. If we did what KO was calling for (rising interest rates to stem supply chain shock inflation lol) we’d be much worse.

For all the talk of how uneducated and stupid a PiS voter must be, it looks increasingly like it’s the KO voters that seem to be uneducated in matters of economy, which ultimately is the most important thing, and very easy to judge based on your own conditions.

PiS made people’s lives better. Their rule coincided with extremely prosperous time for Poland and it’s not a fluke. Contrast that with „Tusk’s green island” from the 2008 GFC times when I worked for 3.5PLN/h with no healthcare, no paid days off and no pension. Am I dumb to prefer PiS to KO? At least these guys have economists that are not economic flat-earthers like Balcerowicz.

I thought I’d be using Polars more but in the end, professionally, when I have to process large amounts of data I won’t be doing that on my computer but on a Hadoop cluster via PySpark which also has a very non-pythonic syntax. For smaller stuff Pandas is just more convenient.
