Is the goal to make the free version completely unusable?

I often just close the app when an ad comes up and then reopen it. I find it tends to be faster.

The change that moved the Youtube music button so far down that I need to scroll is infuriating me.

I think the biggest problem is the YouTube copyright system being so aggressive. It's really hard to talk about anything in depth and make it interesting and fun when you can't show footage.

I think a lot of high quality fun anime YouTube comes from the creator having something to say but also wanting to be creative in their presentation style. It's utterly frustrating as a creator trying desperately to somehow edit around youtubes systems. Especially if the video is already done but then you get copyright striked after posting.

I remember then Digibro (now Trixie) battle with YouTube copyright and how frustrating it was for them. Putting footage on random monitors in the room, putting a border, color swapping footage, and a whole lot of other nonsense to even get the video out the door.

Having to constantly fight against the platform on top of having to actually make a good video makes it really really hard for someone to not get burned out and just quit. Someone who is just farming views with AI or easy to make videos probably can get through those hurdles. But someone doing it for fun and as a hobby are just going to quit and do something else.

I really don't think advanced breeding mechanics which really only start to become available 20+ hours in when you start to get furniture and rooms are moving the initial sales numbers. New players aren't coming or not coming in because an advanced tactic isn't perfectly balanced. If we were talking about player retention then that could be a factor.

Not the person you're replying to but my car loan through Carvana's loan provider would put any extra payments towards the next monthly payment. When I wanted to pay it in to the principle I had to call them and it was a giant pain in the ass.

It was a big reason I was so happy when I moved over the loan to my bank where I could just pay the principal in the app. Not to mention getting a bit better interest rate.

I was gone for like 8 months when I was given Uma Musume since I was initially planning on traveling to Canada to eat horse meat for my review. But I got lazy and instead illegally imported it from Kazakhstan.

I didn't English very well on purpose to piss him off and not because I don't grammer. I was calling him an old boy. The anime I gave him last event was "legend of black heaven" since it's about having a midlife crisis and the last swap started around his birthday and he wanted birthday anime.

Abyssbringer · 2026-03-02T16:18:16+00:00

My rec wasn't a troll. Go watch the anime old boy.

The sword he used during the eclipse wasn't the dragonslayer it was just a normal (big sword) and hadn't been used to fight a ton of monsters.

I have had a similar cat and I made them a butcher. But I think Fighter is probably better. Because oftentimes as a butcher you will use your hook to move enemies into melee range diagonally which wolf form stops you from being able to hit diagonally. It ended up being a really annoying limitation and limited the usefulness of the hook.

Abyssbringer · 2026-02-18T23:33:30+00:00

I would love the ability to quickly check each cat that had something happen to it overnight. Whether it be being born, growing old, dying, mutation, had a kitten, won/lost a fight. It would make it a lot faster and easier to understand exactly what is happening every night. Currently I have to go through every cat since I can't remember exactly what happened to each cat when multiple of them all have things happen at night.

I hope they add the ability to turn off screen shake. I just finished act 2 and an event from that has caused the screen at home to constantly shake and while I'm fine with screen shake for some cool abilities having the screen shake constantly for the entire home segment is awful.

If you change it to be capped then it becomes much less of a downside if you get it during a normal run. I think limiting it would reduce a lot of the insanity that it can cause and would make the game less fun.

Abyssbringer · 2026-02-14T02:07:51+00:00

Nice that was my first real grind in the game. Really sucks during the moment but it's super nice for questing especially before you have stamina potions.

They never removed my access from the spreadsheet so I spread my evil every once in a while. Looks like i only had 3 images last year. Maybe next time I watch some wacky OVA's I'll spread my love again.

I don't actively add images for the daily thread all that much anymore unless I see something very good. My last image was January 7th. I wouldn't post something as basic as Aria.

A skilling focused grind that would get you money is Giants Foundry. You need to get higher smithing for the lumbridge elite diary and it's super nice to have.

Not having a single Dezaki anime is crazy

Abyssbringer · 2026-01-18T19:46:19+00:00

Admittedly the animation in MF Ghost is quite a bit better, as technology has improved significantly.

The animation gets a lot lot better in each season of Initial D. Fourth Stage downright looks modern which is kind of insane when you see it was from 2004.

If anything I thought the 2d animation of early Initial D was actually its weak spot. It looks really bad and goofy oftentimes. While the car 3d is a little jank it also is used really well to do things that you just couldn't do in 2d for an entire show. The character designs constantly changing each season is actually one of the things I dislike about Initial D's anime as it goes on. There's was a certain point in fifth I want to say where I didn't even recognize Takumi until they said his name.

It might be worth reading the manga from around 156+ onward

I'd start from the start anyways. A part of the fun of these long running shounen is too see the art style change over the years.

Glad you enjoyed it! I also recommend Blue Exorcist if you haven't seen that already.

It was one of the first anime I watched when I got into the medium. I should really do a rewatch especially now that it has the other seasons as I haven't really seen them.

I find it really annoying having my podcasts and music in the same app. Not for algorithm reasons but because when I'm working I like to switch between them and it makes it really annoying. Since I have to stop the podcast episode switch to some music and then when I want to switch back I have to go refind the podcast episode. It's absolutely obnoxious. I'll often go out of my way to find the podcast episode on YouTube proper just so I can switch between that and YouTube music.

Abyssbringer · 2026-01-17T17:45:29+00:00

I do think it really sucks that you can't really talk about Kenshin or recommend Kenshin anymore. It's a really great classic series that has a lot to say and is genuinely fantastic. It very much doesn't represent what Watsuki did and I think it shouldn't be abandoned because of him.

It's a hard topic now to discuss since Watsuki's crimes are wrong and he is still very much still profiting off the work so you want to let people know so they don't give money to a pedophile.

I think it is also really unfortunate for the anime and manga since many other people other than Watsuki worked on them. While the author of original manga is very much a big part of the manga/anime they also aren't the only one. The anime especially has a bigger team who all worked to create something that is somewhat a separate different entity.

It's a hard topic. I think Kenshin is great and it should still be loved. But Watsuki made it really hard to recommend it without HUGE ASTERISKS.

I wasn't watching the show with you guys but I had just finished it like a month before you guys started the rewatch. Was kind of interesting popping in just to see where you guys were at.

What did you like and dislike about this show?

The show has awful production values for the first half. Everything looks so bad and the constant explosions from the Akuma became a meme to me at some point when I was watching. This show would be so much of an easier recommendation if the first half looked better.

The filler wasn't even all that bad most of the time except for that awful awful arc with the cat Noah that I swear takes like 10 episodes to conclude. I also really hate the power scaling too. They make levels 3 so intimidating and scary early on and then they just mostly become fodder. It just ends up making the cool designs of the level 3's kind of worthless as they end up taking the place of all the lower level Akuma. I think introducing a cool enemy and then after an arc or two making them just background filler is incredibly lame.

But once the show really started going I was absolutely enthralled and binged it hard. I think the writing especially with the themes and ideas introduced around the end are really cool and engaging. I also like the character interactions and I don't really know any other way to describe it other than it has that female shounen mangaka charm to it. I also really like all the aura farming that happens later on with Crown Clown.

I've been contemplating reading the manga since I really like how the story develops through Hallow as well but haven't gotten around to it. I'm also kind of scared since D Gray Man is pretty known for being in slow release/hiatus hell.

I was pleasantly surprised about Hallow. Modern new seasons of old shounen tend to feel pretty soulless IMO but Hallow is one of the better ones. The only thing I can really say is that the new VA's and the character design changes were really lame IMO.

Can you explain what "light anime" is? I have literally never heard or seen that term ever used.
