It’s not even ducttape.

It’s that paper masking tape that falls apart if you sneeze on it.

He was being lit by my second monitor, looked neat.

One Pace is certainly the best way to watch it.

But the pacing isn’t the only issue that crops up over the series.

That’s a yikes.

That’s why I wrote an automated post scheduling script.

So I don’t need to stay awake to keep posting.

One Piece

I love the universe and characters to bits, and still keep up with the manga.

But at some point the anime became utterly unwatchable for me.

Even the admittedly amazing recent improvement in animation, is ruined by the sfx work.

On a sidenote read/watch Land of the Lustrous.

That infection that started yesterday has spread so qui…

Music does not “require” physical effort or social interaction. The same goes for books, movies and tv. Would you dismiss those, too?

Video games are an art medium, with exceptions to every one of your points.

Motion control games require tons of physical effort.

Multiplayer games literally cannot be played without other people.

There are games for couples, friends, parties, and quiet alone time.

It’s an entire art medium, one which INCLUDES entire other art mediums like writing, music, acting, and more.

Your opinion is based on an incredible narrow interpretion of what video games are and can be. Or perhaps you haven’t checked in on gaming in around two decades.

Either way it’s resulting in absolutely horrendous advice.

Only a tiny number of the games I play and have played, are ones I would hold off on until I’m over 30 and married. Some people find their spouses because of gaming.

A LOT of games I played had their biggest impact around my 20s.

AH SHIT!! CONTAINEMENT BREACH, CONTAINMENT BREACH!! QUARANTINE LEMMY BEFORE THE REST OF THE FEDIVER…

Captain Mizuki fanart, here we come!

Thefuck?

Games are a hobby. If they give you pleasure and joy, then there is no “better” thing to be doing.

How much of your time at 18 should be spent on hobbies is a different matter, but to dismiss games as an unsuitable form of leisure at that age is insane.

The games people play growing up and as young adults can be formative and massively influential.

They tell stories, frustrate, entertain, let you form social bonds, and even enlighten you in ways no other form of media can by allowing you interactively explore the thoughts of other people.

Plus, I’m not even 30, I am already noticing a decline in my performance in terms of precision and reaction time when it comes to the competitive genre.

Seconded!

Used?

As in adopt from a shelter?

Probably massive overkill for OP particular, but if you wanna listen across several devices, the best option.

Where do you get a couch big enough to do this, and then actually fit inside as an adult?

That’s not what I’m saying.

Obviously not everyone needs to code. Once I write a bot, it could potentially be used by anyone.

Only a small percentage of mods need to also be developers. But since that group isn’t big enough yet, the solution is growth.

Not asking the platform devs to do even more. They too, are volunteers.

I’m not against any of that.

What I disagree with is that this is a priority. It’s a nice-to-have.

Once mod actions are supported, and an API exists, any imaginable automation can be implemented by anyone with the impetus to do so.

As such, the priority of further integration drops drastically and platform developer attention can and should move elsewhere.

Mod tools are best created by the people who use them. Even better when they are created for the needs of a specific community. As such, more advanced features should be deferred until later.

Once communities grow large enough that there are a significant number of moderator-developers around, it might be worth creating a generic bot that can be configured as needed. (As has happened with reddit, discord, etc.)

Asking for these tools before then, is inefficient, because the people who ideally should be working on them, haven’t shown up yet, and the platform developers time is better spent on other things.
