I think that getting your instance in some of the lists going around would be a good idea, I have accounts on a few instances and most of them I have discovered through any of the lists listed on join-lemmy.org/instances

A big problem is that the awesome lemmy lost doesn't seem to be updated anymore

I laughed, when I saw it was the 100th chapter I was in disbelief until I saw what the "series" is about, great stuff.

Just the topic reminds me of this NSFW gem

If I had to guess for a few I would say beehaw and lemm.ee will also still be alive in some way or another, but I dont think they will keep being as big in proportion to other instances as they are now.

I would wager most of nowadays instances have either fallen into obscurity or just finished existing, I think we will see instancea more focused in scalability if thr fediverse grows in popularity, whoch will kind of dominate the space.

Not really the community for this tbh, showerthough are supposed to be those revelations or previouslybunseen connections that one thinks about in the solitide of the shower.

Yeah D frag also made a board game, but my problem with that is that the results feel random as not all rules are explained nor are the squares shown so you only see stuff happen instead of understanding how it would play.

That aside, yeah fictional sports are kind of a difficult concept to pull off (think of how boring quidditch is) and even when they do most are technically variations, but I'm fine with that, if there is a fantasy magic world where they have real sports but with magic I would still consider it a different thing.

Yeah I'm kind of having the same problem which made me really interested in the topic, Sketch dance was actually on my read list so knowing they have one is nice.

There is technically Megalobox if we count anime, also JoJo part 7 kind of race which offered complete freedom in vehicle selection and allows for weapons.

I have the feeling that some isekai I read had a sport that demons used to play but I can't pinpoint what it was.

I also remember a doujin that treated sex as a competition as akin to artistic gymnastics

I did try to think of competitions like the death games in Alice in Borderlands, also omniscient readers viewpoint and tower of god had many interedting competitions, but while sports are part of games, games are not all sports, then again, chess is by some considered a sport so I'm currently really confused if any of these games would actually be a sport and where the line lies. Maybe my question should be games in general...

But at the end of the day there just aren't that many games I can remember that I would intuitively consider a sport like it happens for air gear and megalobox. Its kind of disappointing since it is a pretty interesting area to explore for world building and it rarely takes much attention.

I don't like reading manga that are just starting out, but I'm really tempted by this title.

Hope it's a parody isekai and it ends being as funny as I imagine it could be with this setting.

I dont mind ecchi either, I just thought it was hilarious how far it went for a shounen, the bath scene near the end was almost straight up hentai.

I really dont think location is playing a role here, Im from chile but 100% of the content I consume on youtube is in english, the shorts have also appeared in english. I doubt this content is due to location as im not close to the US nor is there particular US cultural dominance in the area (most people consume youtube in spanish, be it creatos from latin america or Spain)

[–] elkaki 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I must say, those last chapters were certainly pushing what I thought was acceptable ecchi on a shounen.

Did you like the ending or nah?

Not necessarily, although YouTube shorts may be it's own thing in terms of algorithm I frequently see andrew tate, ben shapiro, jordan peterdon clips despite disliking and inmediatly scrolling past when I see their faces. Also I have encountered a lot of anti feminism content of the likes of 2014 this year, where someone is seen mocking "feminists" making what seems like stupid remark and getting owned with some sigma face meme from the american psycho guy and music.

it has been the case multiple times that the YouTube algorithm makes weird connections which often lead to right wing channels being promoted. Or sometimes an entire subsection of creatores are libked with the alt right without being direct (the old atheism sphere, gaming channels are common ones too)
