Attack on Titan got me into Gundam. It is basically a ripoff, but the aesthetics carry it so hard I don't even care

Most of that stuff is better handled in the manga. One Pace can't fix the bad soundtrack, animation and such that plagued the series from the start. It doesn't turn into a character drama or anything, I think the online fandom exaggerates that aspect of the series to get people to start watching... But it is better

Grimdark stuff is just so infantile. It's not "realistic and gritty" to have every single character cuss a thousand times per episode and be constantly in and out of clothes

I've been called "Sheldon" for my autistic traits in a degrading manner. The show plays autism for laughs plenty of times, and also ridicules the "nerds" all the time for no reason. It's like a bunch of self proclaimed high school "jocks" wrote it

On bike? Believe it or not, also jail.

Your TV emits just as much blue light as your phone... It's literally a screen, you're not doing screens off

I feel there's plenty of interest in other RPGs if you go outside the core community. I have never been remotely interested in playing DnD, so I never got a "real RPG gamer" group, because why play anything if you can run Curse of Strahd for the 100th time.
Well, it just so happens that I got my SO to play some Mothership duet sessions with me and it was great. Then some uni friends who were fans of LOTR to play The One Ring... And now I have an ongoing TOR 2e table and a passionate duet player looking to play more horror games (we're starting Delta Green this week). The most common reasons for these people never having played RPGs? "Too many rules and stats" or straight up "DnD is too hard".
We sometimes talk about DnD as some sort of necessary evil, but it's honestly a hindrance. "Normies" get pretty excited about RPGs once they learn there's more than a fantasy setting designed to be the lowest common denominator and sell miniatures

If the CRT works there are melee players that will buy it

More stuff to kill in the kill stuff game. If you look at games that emphasize more narrative, there will be fewer pages dedicated to just monsters, like The One Ring 2e. The downside is having less varied combat and less freedom on crafting your own stuff

No ads, apparently no bots, no reddit-style comments like "This.", no corporation involved

Running the service itself over Tor is the only way to prevent local governments knocking on the admin's door, though

Dogs are a hobby I would love to have but can't. I would be able to care for a cat, though, but even then I'm allergic as hell and would probably die. I'm sticking to naming the jumping spiders that briefly take residence in my living room
