Ava's demon. The art is gorgeous, there's something intriguing about the world, but for some reason it just didn't grab me.

More webcomics than I can shake a stick at. Too lazy to do an Archive Binge.

Simply: Does it really matter? They're both Toei mainstays at this point (though I do recall Yonemura writing episodes for Pokemon and... Digimon).

[up] Well, yes, considering that writers are the people who well, write the episodes. Surely there's more than just "studio style" at work.

edit:ah found it.

Yonemura has his fingers in everything, ha.

A couple of months ago, I would have said "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure", cause I was daunted by the size of it all. Oh, how people change within a few glorious months.

Honestly, abou 90% of the games I start playing but never finish these days. Well I say "these days" but more recently I've just realized how pointless topay for games you barely even play so I've stopped buying them almost entirely.

I just cannot get into Homestuck. I made to act 2, but I dozed off and decided that getting a plot summary would be better, but the problem with that is that the story is so damn long that there isn't one that reads like Lord of the Rings. Trying to get a explanation of the basic premise requires you to know about 50 proper nouns.

The sad thing is a few of my friends are really into it but I can't converse with them since I have no fucking clue what any of them are talking about.

I read a.. whatever those things are called when people read something and post things about it.. along with Homestuck.

It enhanced the entertainment value and broke up the monotony of clicking forward.

It's not so much the volume that led me to stopping Homestuck but the fact that 1. I've already enough escapism on my plate and 2. the fandom.

I've been reading Homestuck on a tablet, which made it much easier to read in long sittings because I don't need to click a mouse.

One of those things were people read the comics and posts — a liveblog?

If you want a summary of Homestuck, Wikipedia actually gives a pretty succint one in about four paragraphs (it used to be three but then Act 6 happened). The thing is that if you just read that and then start at the current act you will be 1) completely lost and 2) completely missing the point.

This is going to sound silly, but... The Lord Of The Rings. All because I got the "all in one book" version, and I can't read it because it's physically uncomfortable to hold. I liked the movies, though.

I'd like to get into watching Let's Play videos but I'm not sure whose videos I'd enjoy watching or really where to start with it (I guess starting with someone who plays the sorts of games I enjoy would be good?)

The Walking Dead. Every time I try to watch an episode it starts off kinda cool and I think "yeah this is gonna be good" then it veers suddenly into The Real World: Zombie Apocalypse.

Lana Del Rey. The Marina fandom is all over her, but I just can't get in to her.

Coding and 3D Modelling. I might have to push through it anyway.

...You do realise that this is the perfect setup for a "Your Mom" joke, right?

Thank you for explaining the joke.

Also, Gmod, Dwarf Fortress, and anything like that because I'm too fucking stupid to get into it.

Well, there are probably plenty of examples I can think of for "things that everyone else loves but I don't" (Homestuck, Adventure Time), but the only one I can think of that I've actually been interested in getting into is Game of Thrones. To be fair, I've only watched one episode, but didn't find it particularly appealing.

You need an adult.

Seconded on Dwarf Fortress. I like the concept, but that UI, good god, that UI...
