I’ve been using Linux Mint and found it to be great. Not a single issue so far, whereas I was having quite a few with PopOS, which was my daily for about two years prior.
Haven’t had to do any special tinkering at all. Currently hopping between Cyberpunk, Baldur’s Gate 3, and BattleBit without any problems.
It’s Ubuntu-based (which is based off Debian?) BUT Ubuntu it is not. Now I’m confused. 😁
Surprise, surprise!
Sorry for late reply!
“Con crud” is this apparent illness where you cough up gunk. Idk if it tracks regionally but where I was from it was a thing and absolutely terrible. Also wow, that’s great! Hirokatsu Kihara wrote two of the Ghibli movies I recently introduced my partner to!
Yes, I did not approve of said “glomp” and it was super uncool to just leap onto someone. I was too stunned to do much, but other people told them off. It didn’t stop them from following me around the con for some time after, but I didn’t let that ruin things.
Unfortunately, I did mostly walk around, haha. Actually didn’t end up spending too much, as I was part of one of the con’s performances, being part of the aforementioned cosplay pair. I ended up befriending a group of people seemingly outta nowhere who invited me back to their hotel (I promise it doesn’t get bad lol). They were all using this big room as a sort of hub to meet up, do costume repairs, swap out cosplays as some had 2-3 planned per day. A nice person bought me food and the evening ended with 4-5 of us sitting around on this patio outside the hotel sipping fancy drinks and beers.
It wasn’t bad, and I feel like I got to experience people more like me than not. Somehow I didn’t get the “con crud” so that’s cool.
I’ve been to a few with friends, although I’ll say I’m more of a casual anime dabbler than a full on fan. Normally, I don’t much care for social gatherings or large of events of any kind. I found I didn’t have much issue with the conventions though, as everyone was really focused on their own things, costumes, interests, etc.
There was one time I went in cosplay with a friend, as a sort of pair. It was not a cosplay I created, but a really well-made loaner. Anyway, while walking down a hallway someone sprinted, running up to me and jumping completely onto my back… clung to me like a wild gibbon or something! I had no idea who they were, what they wanted, and just sort of stood there confused / shocked.
So anyway, that’s when I learned what a “glomp” was and that some people get really into the anime characters and stuff. 😅
Just another heathen who likes plants and mushrooms tbh.
Sigh… not this again. Account only 44 minutes old, too.
Just dropping in to say FreeTube is excellent. Carry on.
