If you don't already have a Switch 1, it's got a pretty great library to catch up on. And I would still recommend getting a Switch 2 over buying a Switch 1 now, because that'll last you this whole generation too. It's also worth noting that the Switch 2 kinda has a secret bonus library of ports that ran poorly on Switch 1 but are miraculously good now.

I also have to be that guy and say to take most of the negativity here with a grain of salt. Put it this way, if you want informed opinions on the system, ask people who actually have one rather than people who don't.

Nudity isn't always pornographic or sexual depending on the context. But in this context it absolutely is. The Sun put tits there to sexually arouse readers, that was the point.

This weird little persecution complex came out of nowhere. The post-gamergate crowd randomly latched onto this game thinking it's somehow gonna own the libs, and when no one gave them the reaction they wanted, they decided to declare themselves the winner of a battle nobody was actually fighting them on.

No one cares bud. Go play your game, whatever, have fun, no one's stopping you.

I'd argue for a demisexual/demiromantic interpretation. I think it's implied that she had feelings for Himmel, but she just never realized what her feelings were. It's also explicitly mentioned that elves as a whole are becoming endangered due to their very low sex drive - suggesting that demi is typical for the species.

A Silent Voice. I watched it while I was going through a rough time, and the visual metaphor used to portray the main character's isolation hit me so hard.

So you want it to be everyone else's job to fact check your bot for you? If you can't be bothered to check your own bot, why should we take it seriously either?

That is the best place to start. Also just helps you tolerate the frustration a little bit if it's one of your favorite shows.

No amount of just passively watching anime will teach you a language, especially when you're just reading subtitles in your own language. Your brain is not paying attention to the target language, you're just paying attention to your native language.

To actually start learning, you need to do real study. Textbooks, lessons, spaced repetition, graded readers, etc.

Once you've learned a good amount of vocab and at least a little bit of grammar, you'll have to take the plunge into immersing yourself in native content.

But here's the catch: you will not be comfortable the first time you try to watch something without subtitles. If you keep putting this step off until you think you're ready, you'll never actually be ready.

The first time you start immersing, you're barely going to pick out a few vocab words, but you're not going to parse a full sentence, let alone follow along with the story. And it's going to feel overwhelming and frustrating.

But that's the grind you gotta push through. Little by little, the bits and pieces you pick out will add up. Ideally you should even be taking notes as you do it, looking up new words and making flashcards. Immersion learning is homework, and you have to really work at it. The trick is that you're not just watching passively, you're studying actively.

You'll never get to a level where you'll feel comfortable until you've spent a lot of time feeling uncomfortable first.

Flight, hotel room, and entry fee to a major tournament. If you're splitting hotel costs maybe that'll cover 2-3 trips, and enough left over for a good fightstick.

5 is great, but honestly I thought part 4 was the weakest. Not sure what you mean by part 3 being impossible without it?

OP, you've done a fantastic job demonstrating exactly why some people might want spaces where they don't have to deal with the likes of you.
