It only took one question for me to start wanting to flip tables.

catalyst@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Measuring the Impact of Early-2025 AI on Experienced Open-Source Developer Productivity2·2 days agoI’m right there for sure. Sadly, a whole lot of the people I work with are drinking the AI kool-aid hard.

catalyst@lemmy.worldto Anime@ani.social•Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 28]English3·7 days agoRock is a Lady’s Modesty wound up being our favorite show this season. Gosh, what a ridiculously fun watch. That finale was a blast and delivered exactly what I’d hoped for - awesome music and visuals to match, and a satisfying resolution to the arc. I sincerely hope we get more of this, though understandably it’s hard to predict; it’s like a more niche version of Bocchi the Rock, I think, and I don’t know just how strong of a fanbase there is. If nothing else I really hope we start seeing more manga chapters translated soon cause I need more of these crazy rock girls. I’d also love to see a little more merch being available.
I posted my Gqux thoughts over in the gundam community, but overall I enjoyed it a lot. I agree with the sentiments that the two main characters were underdeveloped. I think the show would have benefited from more episodes for sure. But I did find the finale fairly satisfying regardless. While watching the episode I commented to my spouse how much I appreciated that our girls went from fighting over the boy to fighting the boy. And honestly, as somehow who just in the last ~2 years started getting into UC gundam, I was primed to be very much into this from the word “minovsky”.
Now DanDaDan is back and I’m very excited for that. We actually went and saw the theatrical release of the first 3 episodes back in June and enjoyed it quite a bit - thought, I expect that the pacing will feel a bit better seeing them again in episode format. Was surprised to see Kinta in the EP, as I didn’t expect to make it that far in the story; Will our alien invasion sweetheart Vamola make an appearance??
Now, what’s next? I’m not too sure. I have Gachiakuta on my watch list to check out this season, but I’d like to pick out at least 2 or 3 more shows to follow. I’m kind of at a loss though. I skimmed the summer shows list a few weeks back and nothing immediately jumped out at me.

catalyst@lemmy.worldto Anime@ani.social•Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 | OFFICIAL TRAILEREnglish31·9 days agoI love Frieren but I tend to agree. Not necessarily that I disliked cour 2, but in that I much preferred the quieter and more contemplative episodes over the shonen-y stuff. The whole exam arc for me was a bit too long.
My favorite episode remains the one where they clean up the beach.

catalyst@lemmy.worldto Mobile Suit Gundam@ani.social•Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX • Kidou Senshi Gundam GQuuuuuuX - Episode 12 discussionEnglish3·14 days agoOverall, I really enjoyed this series and the final episode felt like a satisfying wrap up. I was happy to see be girls teaming up in the end rather than needlessly fighting each other.
::: spoiler I personally liked the twist about Lalah creating the new universes in order to save Char and her being the one pulling strings with Machu all along. :::
Now I’ll agree with the chorus of people saying the series needed more time and the main characters felt under cooked. I wish we could have spent more time getting to know them and feeling more weight to the actions.
Nevertheless I’m reasonably happy with what we got in the end.
catalyst@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Day 347 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playingEnglish3·14 days agoI played so much SoT back around 2019/2020! Was such a blast just hanging out on the seas.
I agree with your comment about the water, it really is beautiful.
I know folks have mentioned disliking the pvp aspect and believe me I get it - I was never particularly good at it especially in close encounters. But I will say some of the most genuinely exciting memories I have are of those times when we had a boatload of loot with some pirates hot on our tail and managed to get away with it.
The crew I played with eventually moved on to other things but I still miss it now and then.
catalyst@lemmy.worldto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Mario Kart World Faces Massive Backlash After Update, Online Racing Experience RuinedEnglish4·15 days agoYes! They really under utilized free roam, especially when you look at how big a deal they made out of it in the reveal trailer.
catalyst@lemmy.worldto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Mario Kart World Faces Massive Backlash After Update, Online Racing Experience RuinedEnglish8·15 days agoAgreed. I’m pretty much completely over World at this point and only play if my kid asks me to. I think it’s technically impressive and gorgeous to look at, but the tracks are so utterly boring I have little motivation to fire it up.
I’m still salty about the lack of local multiplayer free roam too, but that’s another issue entirely.
Gorgeous!
I have this kit on my list of potential builds. Glad to see you liked it! Always loved the look of this one and I’m a sucker for a heat rod.
catalyst@lemmy.worldto Nintendo@lemmy.world•After watching the DK Bananza Direct, I'm 💯 soldEnglish52·26 days agoDefinitely looks interesting. I probably won’t buy it on day one, but it’s a strong chance I’ll get around to playing it eventually.
I don’t think I’ve actually played a mainline DK game since the SNES days, now that I think about it.
Hype!! The new music is fire. 🔥
catalyst@lemmy.worldto Mechanical Keyboards@lemmy.ml•What are your favorite switches (and what spring resistance?) and what are you using right now?4·27 days agoI’ve been using Tecsee Coral switches for about 3 years now. Tactile, 55g actuation and 65g bottom out force. I like them a lot.
My only complaint with them is they do have a tiny bit of wobble. I wish they felt more solid in that regard.
I’m also starting to feel like it’d be fun to play around in slightly higher spring forces.
catalyst@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?English6·29 days agoGuess that’s me too. I loved Fallout 3 and wasn’t really aware of a lot of hate for it.
My thoughts exactly. Some of these ads are just plain weird in a way that they would never dare today.
