Finished Mawaru Penguindrum - this one was a wild ride! I enjoyed most of it, but the way it jumps between genres and the plot and character development in the second half of the show are quite extreme and sometimes questionable. Some things were hard to follow for me, but core ideas are very inspiring and leave room for thinking even outside of anime context.

Silent Hill (Duckstation) - classic survival horror game

  • great atmosphere, strong sense of mystery and dread
  • oldschool approach to mystery/horror where everything doesn't have to be explained or logical
  • some outstanding puzzles
  • combat is kinda annoying, but when you play with emulator you at least have saves everywhere

Today I started my day with two really nice ambient / noise / experimental podcasts:

At the moment listening to Groove Salad at Soma FM.

Not much you can do other than researching the current consensus. And for the latter you can try to search discussions about its safety. Good query to start with is "is programname malware/spyware".

I'm pretty much happy with conversations I see here. Plenty of quality discussion threads in AskLemmy, Gaming and Technology and Anime. Would be nice to see even more ofc, but Lemmy's not that big yet I guess. Questions is something that often starts interesting discussions.

By the way, imagine how Piper Perry would look if she was drawn as anime character. Would you consider that extreme lolicon? She's almost 30 y/o and that is absolutely legal even in real porn.

I look almost the same as I did when I was twice as young as I am right now and I understand that during this decade I'll probably leave the age bracket where this is possible.

Doesn’t change my opinion on fictional characters that are made to look like children when making them look older has absolutely no effect on the story.

In anime people also care about visuals, not only the story. Making certain characters have youthful looks is done to appeal to people who have preference for youthful looks, sometimes including sexual preference, and you also seem to agree it's absolutely legitimate preference to have in case it's limited to actual adults. The visual difference between "looking like children" and "having youthful looks" can be quite a subjective one, and that's where everyone draws the line for themselves.

Is it ok to have preference for blondes or redheads or tall or slim? I think most people will agree it's ok. Now, do you consider it ok to have preference (including sexual attraction) for youthful looks, in case it's limited to people who are actually adult?

and act like a child

I don't really remember any examples of hundreds year old loli vampires that actually act like kids. Shinobu certainly isn't one. I didn't include anything like this because OP specifically asks for adult appearances though.
