Depends on the genre we’re talking about:

Seinen: Berserk

Comedy: Gintama

Rom-com: Kaguya-sama, Love is war

Slice of life: Yokohama shopping log

I’d never heard of this story before, thank you for the detailed synopsis and it seems like there’s rarely any stories focused on unattractive women and the lives they live without giving them a “cinderalla glow up” moment so hearing about how this story follows the main lead from start to finish where she still has to live her life sounds interesting. Added to my reading list

Wacky science is fine with me, it’s the overly long dry expositions that tend to turn me off of the more old school sci-fi stories like Dune. Will definitely give Gateway a try so thank you for the recommendation!

VR headset with Half Life Alyx, I assume they’d have seen movies like the original Tron so they’d already have some conception of virtual reality but seeing them interact with VR integrated and as a fully fledged gaming product would make for some interested reactions at least.

Isekai as a genre has been a very hit or miss ordeal where the ones I really enjoy like Gate or Mushoku Tensei remain in my memory as top tier shows in their own right but the rest just seem like copy paste remakes, though hearing about the progression of the main lead like the way you described it makes me think this’ll be a more grounded story so I’m looking forward to giving it a shot, thanks for the recommendation!

The video above dives into buy now pay later loans and how they’re used in the US. Something I appreciated is how the video dives into the types of fees and interest rates in these kinds of loans to show how they’re designed to make money off of you regardless of how they help you get the products you want.

I’d be down to fund a patreon for the core developers who work on the lemmy framework so long as that money goes to developing tools that would enhance everybody’s experience like better modding tools that were lacking in reddit or accessibility features that tended to be found in particular client apps of reddit or plugins than in the site itself.
