Reg 06/03/24 10:10:42 PM #305 | MacArrowny posted... My beef with Train still hasn't really changed. I don't particularly care for the cast, though they are good at facilitating comedy. I also don't really like the serious parts. Evil Yoka and Pontaro are both begging to be fast forwarded whenever they're around. Going into the mechanics of the 7G incident is bad too.I haven't watched this week's yet but I do find myself agreeing with this more every week. This is a show that, in the first few eps, needed (And had) a goal to keep things generally moving, but it didn't need a real plot. Then it developed a plot, and it's much worse for it. If it was just quirky misadventures every week, it'd be so much better. |

Reg 06/01/24 7:45:14 PM #11 | "Local place is best" is the basic bitch answer that manages to sound like a snob answer. It's also generally correct in spite of that, pretty much no matter where you are Dancedreamer posted... But sometimes we'll just get Little Caesars if we're in a hurry and want cheap pizza.I'll do this for lunch especially sometimes though, because $6 for something quite filling and surprisingly tasty if you can get it fresh out of the oven. Can't beat that value from pretty much any restaurant these days. I'll also sometimes order Dominos when I just straight up can't be assed to make anything because it's a fair bit cheaper than the local places and still tasty enough. I'm not sure they're the best chain pizza, but they're better than the local Pizza Hut and I do not have a conveniently nearby Papa John's to have a recent judgement of them. |

The Elusive Samurai - a samurai kid is really good at hide-and-seek, which comes in handy when his family is slaughtered and he needs to go on the run. This is tagged comedy, which is good because if it tried to be a moody revenge story I don't think I could take it seriously. I'll definitely check this one out!Same author as Neuro and Assassination Classroom The manga's been on my to-do list for forever, but I've never gotten around to it. Definitely gonna be checking it out animated until people start bitching the manga's better, then switch over. |

This is dumb and bad and I wonder if there is anything that could even be done about it. I know nothing would, but could it?

At least the English releases have fully caught up.This actually annoys me too because I've been buying the English releases! Maniac64 posted... Baccano kept going beyond what was in the anime?!Yes. Very, very far. The anime is the first ~3 volumes, iirc. Meanwhile, my understanding is that 23 is planned to be the last climax of the series and 24 is going to be not much more than an epilogue. |

Reg 05/19/24 12:52:09 PM #16 | WhiteLens posted... I was next to these middle school-looking girls who couldn't even recognize where it was from, and this was in 2014!I was talking about this elsewhere a week or so ago, but the rise and fall of Haruhi as a franchise is one of the more interesting things in the industry. In 2006 (and 2007, the aftermath of its original airing), it was huge. Legit cultural phenom eon, especially in Japan. In 2008 it was starting to kinda fall by the wayside among people not reading novels. Then 2009 had the huge controversy with Endless Eight in the reairing/season 2, and interest peaked then. Disappearance came out a year later and was massively well regarded as well. But, while there was some further content after that, the series basically disappeared off the face of the earth after ~2011 or so as far as relevance goes. And, really, there's two reasons why. First off, Aya Hirano's scandal around then kinda squished any projects that had her as a relevant role (And you can't really have Haruhi without Haruhi...) for a while. But second, and probably just as important I think, is the LN release schedule. Volume 9 came out in 2007. Volumes 10 and 11 were released together in 2011. Volume 12 was 2020 But, yeah. By 2013, the series was dead for all intents and purposes. A spinoff anime came out in 2015, but it got little acclaim or recognition that I recall (And was also just kinda mediocre, which really didn't help), and only really served to further drive home that the series was completely irrelevant by then. |

Reg 05/14/24 9:03:19 PM #436 | Chainsaw Man has been incredibly good lately. I picked it up after the anime ended not expecting much, and honestly I was right to not get my expectations super high for the most part. But this week's chapter was especially fantastic before the spoiler bar'd part but that to close out the chapter was rather entertaining. And it's been a trend of very good stuff lately. |

But I am not holding NE having a putrid O-Line, QBs and WRs against him when I say he might still have enough in the tank to be usable for a year. (And, to be double clear, I am not saying that the Cowboys have a good RB room, even with Zeke. I am, however, saying he does improve it) |

Reg 04/29/24 1:20:31 PM #409 | I am a fan of Zeke back to Dallas. He's kinda washed, but he was still plenty solid for the dumpster fire that was New England last year, he should hopefully not be the main guy (even if Dowdle and Vaughn aren't actually good), his blocking is still top notch (why do you think we had him play Center lmao) and dammit, I just like the guy |

Reg 04/25/24 7:01:01 PM #10 | NFUN posted... You want corruption to exist but very quarantined. Even if it's all gone you can spread it from a seed or any ebonstone you have lying around. I'd usually corrupt an island and make an area underground that's isolated to be able to farm mobsYeah, pretty much. It does help that corruption creep is basically nonexistent pre-hardmode, which means you can pretty easily quarantine what exists. Then you just gotta live with whatever crops up at the start of hardmode. I played a Master Mode world back in December and it was very good times, but it did burn me out a bit. I've watched people play Calamity though, and it's just way too much going on for me to want to care or try it myself. |

They may be moving to the disgustingly overpriced DLC campaign model instead, looking at Reload.Even if they're not, the ultimate question to answer on this is "Is this game going to be good enough, at base, that I wouldn't mind buying it twice (Multiple years apart, and the second having moderately to significantly enhanced content)?" And, honestly, the track record is good enough that it might be yes. P5 certainly was. P4 too. SMTV was borderline IMO but if the bar for this is "Better than SMTV", then I think this has a good chance of comfortably clearing it |

I think that if the board had literally any other name, it wouldn't be hit with the intersection of "This is where the politics goes" and "we're quarantining it". And I also get the feeling that, without the politics aspect, it probably wouldn't get the quarantine either. Though maybe I am wrong about that last part. |

Reg 04/16/24 3:49:51 PM #220 | While I can't commit to anything at this moment beyond hoping moderation and the community becomes more positive overall. Ideally creating a more positive environment allows Fandom to invest more resources into it. Bringing back bounties for a few grand is cool, hypothetically speaking $300,000 is a lot cooler. Roughly 1,000 people online each day is a number but what if that was 10,000 with proper cross-linking, clean up, and things to do? |

Reg 04/10/24 3:31:27 PM #7 | The main problem with TX roads, especially in DFW, is that they're permanently under construction and the drivers suck (unregistered cars with fake paper plates are endemic here, sadly). And also that they're necessary to get anywhere because the public transit sucks by design. The roads themselves are fine and of good quality relative to elsewhere though. |
