A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

What's a piece of Media that is so underrated you must mention it? (fedioasis.cc)

Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

https://mezzacotta.net/ and all the weird little experiments in webcomics they do

My personal favourite is Comments on a Postcard, which is they uploaded (intentionally) broken image links to a "webcomic", and then assign a caption for it from a set of user submitted captions. It gives the feeling of exploring old websites that are half broken and trying piece together what they were about

Tv series: MR ROBOT; Person of Interest.

Manwha: The Boxer

Book: not really obscure, but for me not enough known is the Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins series

Not4Sale: TV Sheriff and the Trailbuddies.

Nobody had seen it, it’s in insane audio/visual dreamscape/nightmare. It’s very difficult to find, but it’s worth it… especially going into it on acid without knowing anything about it. My friend did that to me, put it on, said nothing once we were trippin balls, and by the end I had cried laughing more than I have for any other piece of media I’ve ever seen.

I’ve seen introduced many friends to it the same way.

PeopleWatching. Im acctively mad that it doesn't get a fraction of the attention it deserves.

He Who Fights With Monsters litRPG adventure. Amazing book disguised as simple fun.

Little King's Story presents as a cutesy Pikmin-like on Wii and Steam (I played it on Wii. Not sure about the port.) but it's got deep, challenging gameplay and the story absolutely pushes boundaries of video game narrative. I only played it the once years-and-years ago, but it really worked its way into my psyche. It deserves a place in the conversation about video-games-as-art alongside standouts like Shadow of the Colossus and Journey.

Zero Effect (1998 film). Charming, smart, funny Holmes update with great performances.

H-E-R-O by Will Pfeifer (DC Comics)

“Love Me, I’m a Liberal” by Phil Ochs.
