#QuestionOfTheDay for no particular reason, make up a fake group chat that you'd want to be accidentally added to.
(examples: "isekai busty elf group chat", "tsundere anime girl group chat", "Star Trek captains group chat", "fantasy villains group chat", "Roman emperors group chat", "famous scientists with the first name that start with D" group chat, etc, whatever you want, go nuts.
Question:
I have accounts on 2 different @Mastodon servers. Can I follow one account from the other and vice versa?
I love weird ranked lists, whether it's the BAFTA list of the "most iconic video game characters of all time" (https://www.bafta.org/media-centre/press-releases/lara-croft-crowned-most-iconic-video-games-character-of-all-time-according-to-bafta-poll) that had Sackboy 5 ahead of Pikachu and Pac-Man, and the guy from RDR2 and 2 characters from the just released Baldur's Gate 3 on it, or the IGN list (https://www.ign.com/articles/the-best-100-video-games-of-all-time) that was heavily Nintendo at the top and had FF7 at 97 and it was clear that the people making the list didn't really play sports games or JRPGs because there were so few
So the #QuestionOfTheDay is what's a memorable weird/terrible top X list (from any topic) that you remember and want to share? What's weird/terrible about the choices?
#QuestionOfTheNight if you could own one fictional vehicle that could fit in a 2 car garage, what would it be? assume that powering it is somehow not a problem, and there's no issues with legality
Follow-up #QuestionOfTheDay from yesterday: what is an interesting/creative adaptation of something you like/care about? (any adaptation from one medium to another counts, so it can be video game to anime, comic to movie, movie to video game, board games, books, myths, poems, theatre, etc, anything counts as long as it went from one medium to another)
It doesn't have to be good or bad or even accurate, just creative or interesting in a way you want to talk about!
bonus points for explaining why it's interesting to you or why you think it's creative
#QuestionOfTheDay what is the worst adaptation of something you like/care about? (any adaptation from one medium to another counts, so it can be video game to anime, comic to movie, movie to video game, board games, books, myths, poems, theatre, etc, anything counts as long as it went from one medium to another)
bonus points for explaining why it was a bad adaptation
#QuestionOfTheDay what is your favourite anime character trope/archetype and what is your least favourite?
bonus points for saying why
As a follow-up to yesterday, today's #QuestionOfTheDay is: what's your favorite piece of #retro TTRPG, CCG, trading card, board game, or video game art?
You can elaborate on why you like it or what memories it holds for you if you like but you do not have to!
#Retro #Book #QuestionOfTheDay show me your favorite old school fantasy or sci fi book cover.
As a bonus, tell me what you like about it or what memory/experience it's tied to if it is!
I need distraction and enrichment. So time for a #QuestionOfTheDay
What is your favorite rivalry/beef in a hobby/interest of your choice?
This can be real or fictional. It can be between characters, creators, fans, companies, whatever
Also include a brief history of the rivalry and a couple highlights
Is it worth it to take one step backwards in order to get two to three steps forward later?
#QuestionOfTheDay: If you could go back in time and live in one year in the past that you were alive for (so any time after you were born) what year would it be?
Assume you could live in this year indefinitely if you want to (like just looping), that you'd be your age now, and you're not trapped, you can leave at any time, this is just for your own comfort (you can always come back to now & see ppl you like here, etc).
You don't get to live with your family or whatever life you had back then, I'm just talking general time period/culture/media/etc... Like you're you as you are now,, you just get to live not in this time period.
And why would you pick that period? Mostly I'm looking for cultural/era reasons & not like "to see my dead [X] again" b/c I think that's a given for everybody.
#QuestionOfTheDay what's a trope that when it shows up in a work of fiction ruins the entire thing for you?
#QuestionOfTheDay what is the worst trend to ever happen to a medium/genre/subject/hobby you enjoy?
#QuestionOfTheDay: what's a work/series/franchise/etc that you thought was really really really good up until it suddenly sucked?
(feel free to go into details or spoilers, just mark them for others who might care)
TFW you randomly remember a video game you played in your childhood that you had largely forgotten about.
For me, today, that game was Descent - an on-rails ish 3D space shooter from 1995. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descent_(video_game)
Has this ever happened to you? If so, what games randomly popped into your game?
#QuestionOfTheDay what's a counterintuitive take you have on something you're interested in?
#QuestionOfTheDay: what's the most annoying fandom/hobby argument you've ever been involved with?
if you can, include the fandom, what the argument was about, and what the sides were
(involved doesn't have to mean actively arguing it, as long as you were there in some way, watching it, moderating a board, associated with the fandom, etc, although it's more interesting if it's an argument you were actually engaged in)
#QuestionOfTheDay: what's a piece of fiction/series/whatever that has a really good concept or idea but horrible execution/politics/ideology/writing/etc and you can't enjoy it because of that?
bonus question: what would you change if you could reboot it?
Have you ever heard a song where you can't understand all the lyrics, and your brain makes up lyrics to fit?
Have you then looked up the lyrics to that song and then thought your ad hoc lyrics were better?
Tell me about it.
(One of mine is:
Original: "The witchcraft scum, exploiting the dumb..."
Mine: "The whip-spared scum..."
10 points if you know the song.
Hint: it's a Dylan tune.)
