I had no idea this was being made until recently so that was a fun surprise. I just love Dragon Quest in general but this one is really special to me.

hi tildes,
i’m an audio/video editor and want to work with youtubers (for free, probably). does anyone have any suggestions on where i can find people who either already have a channel and need help or folks who want to start a channel?
i found a subreddit for new youtubers (and their discord server) but it seems to be largely populated with folks who just want to do gaming-related things. to be clear, i’m not 100% against that or anything — i’ve watched some fun gaming stuff before — but i’m more interested in long-form content or even experimental/arthouse stuff.
one suggestion i’ve read was to search youtube itself for this but i struggled finding anything recent and in the realm of things i would be interested in doing.
has anyone noticed anywhere around the web people asking for editors/collaborators for non-gaming content? or does anyone here want help? i think i recall at least one tildes user posting one of their long-form history-related videos.

Comment on A comprehensive history of JRPGs in ~games
rip_rike LinkI just watched this recently! I don’t watch much gaming content on YouTube but I really, really enjoyed this (and the previous one about RPGs). Hope others get a chance to watch it as well.I just watched this recently! I don’t watch much gaming content on YouTube but I really, really enjoyed this (and the previous one about RPGs).

being able to post images is not vital as this would be primarily text-based.

rip_rike Link Parentseems like i should look into discourse. it needs to look and feel exactly like the website, so discord wouldn't be that. thank you for the suggestions!seems like i should look into discourse. it needs to look and feel exactly like the website, so discord wouldn't be that. thank you for the suggestions!

hello tildes,
i am searching for a bare-bones forum/message board. i'll describe what i need and perhaps someone can point me in the right direction:
must have the ability to
- create an account
- create topics with the ability to reply
- fully customizable front-end (html/css) so i can make it match my website
- either self-host or use a custom domain on ext hosting
unimportant but nice to have
- display images in posts via external urls
- different boards (categories?) to post into (would be nice but not vital)
- nested replies (or some visual way to see what you're replying to)
free would be ideal (dreams are nice) but probably wouldn't want to spend more than $5/month as this is a supplement to a website where i don't expect much traffic at all due to the nature of the project. no images/video/audio will be hosted ideally.
i'm ok with "hacker news" or "reddit-like" software but my backend knowledge if very limited. for instance, i looked into self-hosting lemmy but i don't understand how to setup docker. options like phpbb would be fine if i could strip away everything aside from the above-mentioned features.
i want it to be extremely simplistic in appearance and for the end-user (tildes is a great example of the simplistic end-user experience). tildes could be a cool option but i think getting it setup is a bit out of my skill-range.
can anyone offer any suggestions/guidence?
edited to emphasize important aspects and clarify things that are not vital but would be nice to have.

Comment on What have you been listening to this week? in ~music

Fontaines DC - Romance
SOFT PLAY - HEAVY JELLYFontaines DC - Irish band leaning into 90s/00s vibes which sounds very different than their previous albums. I like it a lot. Love their last album as well. Previous records before are good too, of course.
I just discovered SOFT PLAY and love them! So fun and humorous. Apparently they renamed themselves (old name "Slaves" oof) and have other albums under their previous name. New album is fun and it's always great to find a new band that you can delve into. The band members each have their own music as well.
Chelsea Wolfe released a new album earlier this year (She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out) and is releasing a new remix EP named Undon. A few remixes on it are out now and they're excellent.

Moving to Colorado from Oregon (USA) in late February

Hi everyone!
I am moving to Colorado from Oregon late February and will be driving with my cat. I am shipping my belongings separately so it’s just us in the car.
We will be traveling through Idaho, Utah, and Colorado. I have never been through any of these states, particularly this time of year. My planned route is
Day 1 - Portland, OR -> Boise, ID
Day 2 - Boise, ID -> Salt Lake City, UT
Day 3 - Salt Lake City, UT -> Grand Junction, CO
Day 4 - Grand Junction, CO -> Denver, COBecause of the time of year, I wanted to see if anyone had tips for traveling this route. I have checked average temperatures for the cities I’ll be stopping in for that time of year but I know that’s not the full story. I’m also going to get my car checked out before the long drive to make sure all is well. I have all season tires that are newer and chains already in the car.
I have a first aid kit, will bring a few blankets and some food/water for both me and the cat (Marge), a battery pack, and a few days of clothes for the traveling. That’s all I could think of.
Does anyone have suggestions or tips for this 1200+ mile trip? Also, my cat has only ever been in the car for about 3 hours at most. She’s sometimes anxious and sometimes chill. If anyone has suggestions for traveling with a cat in the car for up to 7 hours per day, that would also be appreciated!

Since you’re using a throwaway, why not let us know about the school and the city? Without more details (what culture are you looking for, what program, age range, interests/hobbies, what are your presumed other options next application cycle, etc.), I’m not sure how one might give you guidance outside of broad suggestions.
Only you know what’s best for you — trust yourself!
