@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io every time I walk past a momofuku something, I make sure to remark about how shit he is/the shitty things he did so people around can hear and hopefully avoid momofuku products/restaurant too.

@gekidasa@fandom.ink +1 to all of these. Reddit is not what I consider transformative fandom space (though there are subreddits that are exceptions), and the conversations tone/style/focus can be quite different. I don't engage in reddit spaces

@liztai@hachyderm.io @gekidasa@fandom.ink comm = community

on dreamwidth, you can make personal pages and community pages. community pages can be set up differently for different purposes, but for this community, if you are a member, you can make posts, and you can also reply to posts (even not as a member i think)

@gekidasa@fandom.ink @liztai@hachyderm.io This general purpose chinese entertainment comm might be suitable?

Good vibes, good people

@irfan @liztai@hachyderm.io the description says tempoyak so it's probably tempoyak I think

Should be fine

@liztai@hachyderm.io RM8 for the mee goreng (coz tourist area). The rest is tourist tax xD

@lookitmychicken@blorbo.social I liked elkzone when I was on mastodon and used to use Sengi (https://nicolasconstant.github.io/sengi/) for multiple accounts across mastodon and misskey on one page (idk if it's still good now though. It works a lot like tweetdeck)

Phanpy doesn't work on non-mastodon stuff (actually most stuff doesn't) so might wanna caveat that! (It's why I am entirely browser and PWA based now)

@liztai@hachyderm.io I didn't finish watching the show. I liked the novel for the characters and relationships and I found the story interesting. I like how the tragedy is set up. There are some things I don't like about the novel too but my overall experience was enjoyable. The official tl has some issues. I didn't read the seven seas version so idk how well those reads.

Again, it's perfectly okay to not like. Just means it's not for you and that's okay!

@liztai@hachyderm.io People like different things, it's fine. Just let it go. People talk about things they enjoy. They hardly linger on things they don't, unless it's popular but they hate it. It was out during initial covid lockdowns, it was a lot of en circles first Chinese drama, the novel it's based on was many people's first danmei novel so the timing of it was perfect. You don't have to watch something you don't enjoy. If you've tried a few episodes, and it's not for you, then it's not for you. I didn't like the show but I know exactly why I didn't like the show and it's probably for different for you and I've also learnt to accept not liking some really popular books because I'm just not the target audience. And that's okay

@liztai@hachyderm.io joy of life is nice! well, you've already watched it before. feel free to dip in and out if you want, not like this watch party is super strict with rules or anything @gekidasa@fandom.ink

@liztai@hachyderm.io ExpressVPN worked for me for Mysterious Lotus Casebook in iqiyi... I haven't tried for Viki properly but NiF does show up for me when I use ExpressVPN. I try again later to play an ep when I back home

Announcement~

#NirvanaInFire rewatch/watch party will start the first full week of March (3rd March)!

It's 54 episodes long, each episode about 40-45 mins. If you plan to join this watch party, I recommend VPN to U.S., and watch it on Viki. The subs are generally better there (because they use fan labor...)

It'll be two episodes a week, at your own pace. Just so we can find each other who are watching, you can use the hashtag #NifNotABirthdayParty when you watch.

I'll post every week on Saturday the episodes we will be watching that week (watch week is Sunday to Saturday).

(Thanks @gekidasa@fandom.ink for the hashtag suggestion!)

#CDrama

@liztai@hachyderm.io if there's a big house somewhere, use that as a meeting point also can

My mother's side all meet at my aunt's place (mostly) and if that can't make it there, go to another aunt's place. So only two. It used to be all will go to the first location but the other aunt can't anymore due to various health issues + her husband's health issues

@liztai@hachyderm.io everyone too old and tired to be too bothered with making too much of a big deal 😂 can also just give angpow to other ppl to take to other houses ("how many children ah? Okay help me give angpow when you go there.")

Also it helps I don't go to my father's side anymore because Reasons

@liztai@hachyderm.io haha it's good that my relatives all gather together anyway (just slightly different days) so it's easy. Briefly see also can liao (angpow exchange then bye)

@liztai@hachyderm.io a bit late now right? 😂 Reunion dinner, day 1, day 2 passed oledi

@liztai@hachyderm.io @rakyat@hachyderm.io okay so practice partner. And it involves energy so passing energy. Also it sometimes involves sex

I guess my issue is, why do we need to use the word "cultivation"?

(This has been a long time rant in me)

@liztai@hachyderm.io @rakyat@hachyderm.io I wish I have the foresight to save my twitter DMs. I actually did go on a very long rant with a friend when cnovel tl became more mainstream because of the word "cultivation" and I'm pretty sure I did mention the words I think are more appropriate/better but now they are all gone from my brain -_-

@liztai@hachyderm.io @rakyat@hachyderm.io but then it's like "cultivating what?"

If you accept the premise that everyone can practice until they "fly", then it's basically like okay you are practicing your stamina. It's like sports. You can learn from manuals how to do it more efficiently or run more efficiently! Stuff like that la. Then sometimes, ppl use technique that official competitions don't accept la (so this is the equivalent of Evil Sect thing I guess, and Evil Cultivation Methods)

@rakyat@hachyderm.io @liztai@hachyderm.io is it time to shit on "cultivation"? I'm here for it!

Alas I don't actually remember what word I used to use because it's been erased by "cultivation" (probably practice too? Idk. Cultivation = what, gardening ah?)
