I suggest waiting for the netflix anime readaptation that’s in production now. Logically, it should have better pace and much less filler than the first anime.

I mean, it IS Netflix, so it shouldn’t be presumed to be better in any way. Still, I will try pirating it first, rather than giving Netflix any money beforehand only to find out it’s crap.

I was sort of like this before, not really caring too much about most movies or TV shows, but that was just because I had higher standards to what I would be willing to take the time to watch. When I did find something I thought was worth my time, like for instance Full Metal Alchemist (yes I know it’s an anime, it still counts as a TV show imo. Also it’s great, I definitely recommend watching it). The general decrease in quality and increase in quantity of shows and movies just made me stop caring to watch really anything; why take a chance with a likely shitty show or movie when I can get much more fun out of playing video games? I know there’s likely some “hidden gem” kind of show that nobody really talks about because it’s hidden away in all the crappy shows, so I usually only decide to watch something if I’ve heard good things about it more than once. Even then, I may still not watch it, like for instance One Piece, which I’ve heard is incredibly long.

Unfortunately, I haven’t played much of the classic games like the ones these characters are allegedly from, I usually play indie games. So, pretty much all of these went over my head until I got to the Halo one. I immediately knew this was lying because I know that quote is from Duke Nukem (I’m not implying I’ve played Duke Nukem, though, I’ve just heard of that quote).

Although, even though I’ve played pokemon before (like, once, years ago, but still), the fucking “Ash Ketchum is the hero from the Pokemon games” went over my head, and I feel embarassed for not realizing it’s bullshit.

You might actually be right, from what I’ve heard. Fever, like vomiting and diarrhea, does seem to actually serve a purpose for the immune system. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take anti-fever medications if you have a dangerously high fever, obviously.

Note, I am not a doctor, so take this with a grain of salt.

It’s on lemmy.ca, which is a different instance than sh.itjust.works, surprisingly. That’s probably your mistake.
