It's not widely available and its only in Norwegian, sadly.

However, I will second @mkengine proposal for Letterboxd, I think it is the superior site to nerd out on. Discovery can be a challenge, depending on your own level of investment into the medium. I'm a big ol movie-nerd, and I'm currently grateful to have access to most streaming services through friends/family/partner so I get to browse them if desired.

Apart from that my twitter algorithm is quite skewed towards movies, and I have a "list" on there (curated users you can browse, kind of like a community on here. That's been great.

Other than that, I listed to podcast, sometimes check out our national newspapers reviews (but most of those reviewers are already in the aforementioned twitter-list) etc.

As for reading on recommender systems and the algorithm for netflix. My work was based around bias and "trust" when it comes to the recommender systems and how much it recommended/pushed "its own agenda" to users despite having differential tastes.

Good keywords I enjoyed was: recommender system bias I also read some good articles on the spotify recommender systems. But those mostly centered around people growing attached to their algorhitms. It was a fun read.

My bachelors thesis was basically about recommender systems like this. Netflix truly is a sunken ship.

The more I play it, the more I enjoy it. Sure it has its flaws and definite issues, but they've also hit a perfect mid of systems to manage (food, temps, disease etc) where it makes sense and it's not too overbearing. They've also included a hefty amount of welcome QoL changes.

Still, I can't craft bulk cloth at once etc and some of those things irk me. The procedural (?) generation is a bit repetitive and mob spawns are a complete mess

Been playing Return to Moria with a friend and we're having a blast! Got to do a few games of The Finals playtest and that was great fun.

Also got to test a few games of CS2 and actually enjoyed that more than expected as well.

Yeah that would be my tip. Once the seasons end in these games, they are transferred over to become non-seasonal characers so nothing is lost.

But that can be a solution for the next one! d3 is such a fun game

This is Wes Anderson in top for, it's a really fun watch!

I changed my reddit link to lemmy but kept the snoo symbol.

I don't really visit too much, I will sweep by a few times a week or so. Reddit I only go to when Google takes me there, which is often enough thst I had to install the official turd of an app.

But I do t have a user over there anymore, so I am not logged in.

I guess how the streaming services promote and place shows in their own service matters.

Are your recommendations really "yours"? Or are they based on trends outside of your viewing habits. Despite having down voted every comedy show on a service, will it still recommend it to you if it's widely popular?

I think a lot more people chose things from their "wheels" on the Frontpage than we give credit to.

There's a whole bunch of fillers each time they remotely catch up to the Manga and several "guides" about which ones to skip etc. It's not too hawrd to catch up if you make it a consistent low-time commitment like watching half an ep on the pooper

I ordered parts and built my own, super fun hobby! The custom keyboard scene is very fun

I agree about the quests feeling fairly good, but my hod is the jour Al itself atrocious. No way to remove/hide quests from the map. Many quests sort of remain in this "not done" quest state because completing it will have undesirable outcomes and it feels weird that I have to keep it there still

Purely based on population I'm an exceptional climbing instructor.
