Good (canon) comics (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by whysofurious@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/star_wars@lemmy.world
 

As per title, I just finished Andor. I always wanted to read some star wars comics (years ago I read the Marvel's Vader series). I would love to read some good comics or storyarcs if anybody has any advice.

I would prefer something not focus on the skywalkers but that expands on the general story and lore, I was looking at Doctor Aphra, but not sure if it's good or not.

Thanks!

I totally agree with you, thanks for suggesting this change.

Let me start by saying that I am in favour of the rule. Going into topics-centered community and voicing against that topic is kind of stupid, and everybody should be able to feel safe in their own spaces. All my concerns (generality of the rule, downvote trolling and automating moderation) were already voiced by others and addressed one by one. Also, as a practical suggestion, maybe we can have sticky posts in each community where the rule will be applied? Not forever, but for a set period of time.

I waited longer to give my answer, as I am very skeptical about AI in general but in favour of many other instance topics, and I wanted to form my own opinion on the topic at hand before commenting. I am really happy at the level of the discussion here and how the feedback was received by OP. I didn't agree with some comments on other posts leading to this one, but I am happy to see that the discussion was kept objective and on-point, so a huge thank to OP and everyone who participated for showing me how the instance governance and discussion works (I'm relatively new here).

In the end, while I don't go specifically go searching for AI content and barely see it in my feed, I am happy that stuff like AI-horde exist, and I really think it's a good way of doing things. And in general, the governance experiment here and the way this instance is managed is way more important for me than my own opinions on AI.

Nice, didn't know that, thank you! :)

How do you do it? Last time I tried the only way possible was with PSNow

Would've kept one of Stallman/Torvalds/Kropotkin for us oldies :P but apart from that looks great!

I agree with @Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com's second point about rule 4.

Same, every time I read avatar I'm super hyped about some last airbender stuff, and then....

In the city I am currently living some independent movie theaters are showing 4k versions of more or less old movies (recently Le Haine, Captain Harlock, Paprika), most of them in original language with subtitles and I am having a blast. I am happily going back to movie theaters and I whish they'd do it more often (also supporting local businesses is a plus).

Same process here, started with yunojost and now using docker directly. Still Yunohost got me into self-hosting when I didn't know anything about it, definitely recommended for starting out.

I don't mind as long as I am not forced to use it as extensively as some min-maxers do. Most of the time I just want to play and I don't want to lose too much time to calculate all the possible combinations for the perfect build or meta, I just want to have fun with the gameplay and story.

Of course I understand that for others min-maxing is part of the fun and that's absolutely good, but it's not too much for me and I am very pleased when a game offers me the chance to just go on with the story.

As an academic, yes, please pirate stuff.

Fuck parasites publishers that make profit on our unpaid job and gatekeep knowledge.

A nice read about publishers profits: Against Parasite Publishers: Making Journals Free or if someone prefer the newspaper format

Yep this is what I meant, thanks for saying it in a proper way :)

I am currently using Mealie with docker, which being a containers noob seemed easier to setup compared to Tandoor. I have it behind tailscale as well.

Mealie works well for what I need to do, I don't plan in advance yet, but I just import recipes and it works 9 out 10. I will need to try the shopping list features sooner or later.

There is no mobile app that I am aware of but the webpage works perfectly on mobile with a bookmark.
