I feel like they’ve probably all got pros and cons and probably require a little research. I recently signed up here on lemm.ee and the sign up process seemed pretty quick and simple. And they seem to do minimal de-federating. But the flip side to that is you can’t upload any images for your first 4 weeks on the server. 4 fkn weeks.

And if I’d read that first, I might have reconsidered joining here. I think I’d rather be inconvenienced by sightly more in depth questions and a 1 day wait time for signing up than a 4 fkn week wait before I can even upload a profile pic and banner image.

Edit: in fact I’m gonna go as far as saying that it’s false advertising. They advertise as general purpose instance but seemingly can’t even handle a thing that about 50% if this type of social media entails. They should change their blurb on join-lemmy to “We would like to be a general purpose reddit-like instance but our servers catch on fire every time someone uploads a meme, so we should actually be doing something smaller scale instead of pretending that we can hang with lemmy.world”.

• Stardew Valley
• Skyrim
• ADOM
• Burnout Paradise
• Vegas Solitaire (or I think a decent Solitaire collection is a fair exception to that one rule because you can get many games out of a pack of cards)

Stardew Valley, Skyrim and ADOM for games that you can keep going back to over years and playing in different ways and still discovering new things. Vegas Solitaire for more of a mindless time passer when you don’t want something immersive and involved. Burnout Paradise for something in between complex and mindless and something different once in a while.

Edit: I hope I eventually get rescued though because there’s a LOT of shorter titles that I’d miss.

You pretty much answered this for me.

Absolute favourite:

Kiki’s Delivery Service. Character and story that I relate with most of our of all of the movies. I wish I’d watched it when I was a kid.

Other favourites:

• Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
• Pom Poko
• Whisper of the Heart
• Howl’s Moving Castle
• The Tale of Princess Kaguya
• When Marnie Was There

Almost favourites:

• Princess Mononoke (I don’t like Ashitaka that much by the end)
• Spirited Away (only because this is the only Ghibli that I ever came across in the wild before watching all of them, I’m over exposed to it)
• Earwig and the Witch (love the concept and general story, not a fan of the animation style and a lot of specifics)

Yeah this is the answer that I came here to see. These definitely belong in this list. Cow & Chicken could be particularly unhinged.

I rewatch a lot of things that I enjoy but in recent years, shows that I’ve seen multiple times the most for various reasons like watching again with someone else are: iZombie, Doom Patrol and Fringe.
