Reading your post, all I can think of is to get a decent TV and a small form factor computer, install LibreELEC on it and you have a standalone Kodi box.

Lots of plugins available (YouTube, I think Crunchyroll too), absolutely no ads, no slowdown, fluent and capable UI. It can be strange that all the plugins use Kodi’s framework, but they all work just fine. Some needs some additional things to do to work, but you really set up your plugins once, and they are good to go. I’m using Kodi for 3-4 years continuously as my main media machine and all the plugins updates regularly. You can play back local or remote media through network share seamlessly. Just get a PC with enough hardware to do 4K video. (I’m watching at max 1080p, but for that, a 3rd generation Intel i5 was more than enough).

on mobile it’s just a huge pile of stinky shit anyway

nice

rule 34 when?

welp, it’s another story how useful is this picture 😄, it just came to my mind and brought me some nostalgia in the meantime towards the artist. (yeah, saying artist in this case is strange, but otherwise who made this is a digital artist, or was, idk how active still)

reminded me of this picture

Mallrats

Adventures of Ford Fairlaine? Though it might be 80’s rather 90’s, despite the movie itself came out in 90’…

Rolling HP like in Earthbound and Mother 3. You get a big hit - your HP does not decrease to the point immediately rather starts rolling down, even if you’ve got a mortal damage. This way you can still have time to finish the fight and survive if your HP don’t reach 0 in the meantime, or even heal yourself. Also Luck (or Guts) as a stat, which can sometimes leave you at 1 HP no matter how overkill damage you just got.
