We accidentally made our cat yell when we point at her. Not even sure how it happened tbh; some combo of squirt-bottle-get-off-the-counter and very half-assed start to clicker training. At least we have a goofy party trick when we have people over I guess?

I'm partial to weird fantasy, dunno what your tastes are. YMMV. Some of these are old!

Gunnerkrigg Court - long-running, fantastic worldbuilding, intricate plot. steampunky urban fantasy.

Wilde Life - small-town mystery, light spooky vibes but mostly feel-good. Relationship focused.

Girls with Slingshots - complete! comedy about a friend group. LGBT+ themes, sex positive. A bit raunchy, if that's not your bag.

Skin Deep - urban fantasy. Neat worldbuilding, long running.

Broodhollow - another small-town mystery, but more legit creepy. Plot of the murder-hauntings-cults variety.

Manly Guys Doing Manly Things - comedy. premise is a temp agency for brawny fictional characters & villains trying to get normal dayjobs. Takes the piss out of common tropes.

Awkward Zombie - comedy. No plot, just comics about video games & other things the artist is into.

Johnny Wander - 4 comics in a trenchcoat, but they're all pretty cute. Started as an autobio comic with the occasional original fiction story mixed in, but they've all been separated out for easier reading now.

The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal - complete! romance about two dudes on a cross-country roadtrip. Touches on some heavy topics, but has some humor too.

A lot of these are hosted by sites that host other comics, so you can follow that rabbit hole pretty far. Also some artists will link to other comics they like in the about/notes pages, good way to find other stuff.

I'll add in a recommendation for Steven Universe, though it's a show, not a movie. Interesting plot, great character development, no character-is-dumb tropes. Soundtrack is very cute, lots of original songs. It has a heavy focus on personal growth & relationships that is super refreshing for a kid's show. It's technically sci-fi, but of the flavor that feels very magic-y.

Daily- I put my rings in it when I take them off to cook or whatever.

That's interesting, the right click menu change has personally been driving me bonkers haha. I guess it's cleaner looking? But they removed most contextual options, so it's extra clicks or a button combo to get at what I'm looking for now.

As a kid, it was the local oldies station for a while, then swapped to this long-form recording of ocean surf my parents had on CD.

These days a fan is fine, though I'll put on rain or surf white noise, or ambient music, with headphones if I'm travelling somewhere & it's noisy.
