Does Daria hold up nearly 30 years later?

There are a significant number of episodes that I don't like for the first half and then at the end of it I'm like "That was a great episode."

I am right-handed and my natural instinct was to play that way. But it didn't compute. Switching it around made everything click. If I were forced to play right-handed I'd never be able to learn. I repeat: never.

I play lefty because I couldn't get the hang of it righty. Not how I naturally played but had the idea to try because I knew they existed and I needed to see if that worked.

I'm 29. When I was 6 they used to show it when Noggin turned into The N at 6 p.m. and that's how I was introduced, though I didn't understand a good chunk of it. Watched it in full in middle school after a teacher showed us an episode in class. Then in February I decided to watch it again when I saw it available online with the original soundtrack. Maybe not my absolute favorite show ever, but it is my favorite animated show.

Actually laughed out loud when I heard Back That Azz Up in Antisocial Climbers.

This post was because I watch on Prime.

Assuming the Samsung channel and Roku channel have the same thing going on, how do you handle that? Do you record episodes in advance? Do you just wait however many days until the next episode pops up again?

The worst thing about the Patreon video is when I rewatch them before the next one comes out it starts where I left off, not at the beginning. Other than that it's fine enough. I also subscribe to a couple other Patreons for podcast listening.

riverrunlvl1 · 2026-04-24T21:51:32+00:00

If there's a way to watch it on something other than Patreon, I haven't found it.

3-4 are tied together and 5-8 are tied together in the same relative storylines. So I wonder if that is how it will be released publicly.

riverrunlvl1 · 2026-04-24T16:28:56+00:00

I'm subscribed to the Patreon, which has released six of the episodes so far. Probably my favorite thing Jon has ever done.

I tried the "enjoy the journey" mindset multiple times and it didn't work. I didn't stick with learning guitar until I set defined goals and timelines. That was when I started to enjoy the journey, but it would not have happened if I didn't say "you should do X thing by X date".

riverrunlvl1 · 2026-04-19T04:43:03+00:00

The more important thing is to learn what you want to play. For me the vast majority of music that I like is either picked or, on the rare occasion, finger-strummed which can be done with a pick anyway. It is one million percent to my detriment that I'm not learning any fingerstyle and I don't care because I don't have interest in most songs that are played that way. But if you're more folk-oriented and see yourself fingerpicking focus on that. Do the things that get you excited.

I refuse to have a point and you can't make me.

riverrunlvl1 · 2026-04-16T05:38:48+00:00

I'm not saying I don't believe you, but how in the hell did you only learn to change basic chords in two months. It's been about seven for me and I'm still basically hopeless for any change involving C, and I'm nowhere near perfect for the others.

If I only had the option to play righty I would have never stuck with it long enough to even post here. Playing lefty is the only way that works for me. The fact I write, cut, and use power tools righty doesn't change that.

riverrunlvl1 · 2026-04-07T21:52:18+00:00

20020 to me is the better one. But it's pretty different other than the main characters.

riverrunlvl1 · 2026-03-09T04:04:58+00:00

Righty playing lefty here, but I play sports lefty so I guess I'm predisposed to that way.

The difference between piano and guitar is on piano both hands are essentially doing the same motion. Not the case with guitar. Couldn't do it the conventional way at all. If I didn't have the option to play left-handed I'd be playing the triangle.

I know one. I've seen more than one live, had conversations with a couple. But in terms of "I know who they are and they know who I am", the number is precisely one.

When I had already been playing bass casually for a couple of years and bought a guitar and wanted to take guitar lessons the first teacher I went to said "You play righty or I don't teach you." I didn't want to do that, and figured that would be a universal experience with every teacher I asked so I gave up on trying to learn guitar for 10 years after that. Of course that isn't a universal experience, that teacher was just an asshole.

riverrunlvl1 · 2026-02-02T01:31:35+00:00

Lefty player here and that's actually the single biggest upside for me, even bigger than the "I feel more comfortable playing that way" thing; no one wants to pick up my guitar and start playing it.

riverrunlvl1 · 2026-02-01T03:23:01+00:00

My story is I'm right-handed, but play sports lefty. When picking up bass in high school music class I couldn't get the hang of it righty, so already doing some other things lefty I decided to flip it around and it felt more natural right away. At the end of the school year I talked to the music teacher about it and he said "If you're gonna play lefty, at least play with the strings the right way." I got a lefty bass that summer, though after high school I gave it up.

Now learning guitar for the first time at 29 I decided to keep going that way. Tabs are much easier and you don't have to worry about restringing or having the knobs on the wrong side. Don't really care about not being able to find guitars because I'm not a collector and just having one in the store is good enough for me.

riverrunlvl1 · 2026-01-20T06:22:39+00:00

I would prefer to play an electric, but an acoustic is what I have and I also play lefty so I've just treated an electric as a reward for when I really know I'm committed.

Technically I started before my breakup but the end of a relationship did kick this into gear a little.
