    Could try Spy x Family. Still action, but less explicit in its depictions of violence (though there is still violence), and overall wholesome story / message.

    I played the original NWN for 13 years, mostly community run online servers, and loved it so much. It does make me sad that companies don't make games like that anymore, but from that perspective it does make sense why they wouldn't.

    Too bad you couldn't do something open source like that since it requires the D&D licensing.

    I really love Vermillion's performance as a Straight Man for this series. Constantly having to be the only competent demon in the room must get exhausting.

    I find them fun! Mostly the dealers hall and especially artists alley. Panels I've been to have been a mixed bag, my favorite so far being the "Bad anime" roast panels, which are a ton of fun.

    I have so much nostalgia for this show, enjoying the remake quite a bit so far! Seems like they've done a good job keeping the charm while upping the animation quality. Plus it's a great excuse to show one of my favorite older series to my partner who never watched the original.

    Maybe a community vote on what shows to track and which not to? Or maybe just a "what I'm watching" survey and do any shows that have over a certain number.

    Edit: Or, community survey and the top X watched shows get a thread.

    Watch threads for currently airing anime would be fantastic I think, if that's not already planned. Its definitely the thing I most use anime communities for.

    Agreed! Group rewatch is a great way to learn about hidden gems, I also love getting to participate in active discussion for old shows that aren't being discussed as much.

    Just finished watching the first Zom 100 episode and I don't think you'll be disappointed - the direction and animation both felt incredible!

    I barely trust the average consumer to be able to drive, I can't imagine people being able to fly whenever. Also- who actually needs this and why?

    I find these types of studies very important, because things don't have to be this way. People are people regardless of class, race, gender, etc. Inequalities between these different groups are entirely social and constructed, and a natural result of our in-group out-group thinking and time causing resources to congregate one way or another.

    It makes sense that things are this way right now, but as we learn more and build our systems things don't need to and shouldn't stay this way. The issue is that for the people who currently control resources and wield power this feels like 'coming for them' or taking what they've earned, but they don't actually have any right to these resources any more than the rest of us do- They're just people. We are a huge, complex system that should be maintained for the benefit of all, not the benefit of the few.

    Loved it! The last episode left me with more questions than answers and I want to know more so badly I may just have to read it now rather than wait for more

    This seasons 'Skip and Loafer' on Crunchyroll is excellent! It's not purely romance but that is a big part of it. It's high school aged characters but not written for a high school audience, the nuanced writing and excellent handling of various issues make it stand out as much more mature than many of it's counterparts.

    Also from this season, Insomniacs After School on HiDive is very touching relationship growth between two realistic and likeable characters, though the animation and writing quality aren't quite as good as Skip and Loafer.
