Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Pretty picky. I watch less shows and movies because there's a content desert when you're picky. Not a problem for me because video games has the extreme opposite problem. Especially when I'm also into emulation, hacks, translations, reverse engineered servers, whatever. Everything to do with games. Wish lists exceed lifespan.
Books are different because I have Aphantasia. Any author who likes writing long inner monologues and detailed environment descriptions is what I'll look for, with fiction anyway.
Music I rarely look at reviews. My biggest influencer is CKUA, a local donor supported radio station. Also I just scroll sites like Bandcamp for a couple hours now and then until I stumble into somethings I like and bookmark them. If I keep listening to an album or whatever and still like it after a couple days, then I'll buy. I'm pretty disconnected this regard I guess.
Social influences too of course, self explanatory.
