Anyway I hate that this can happen where you can just straight up bleed a company dry and get your money scot-free. 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? Like a provision where in such acquisitions, if you're gonna buy the assets you can't just sell it back to the same people. Or does that just get loopholed too

This actually annoys me too because I've been buying the English releases!

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, I'm honestly not a fan of the move. Dude's washed.

I guess it's nice that his final play as a Cowboy won't be that play at the end of the Niners playoff game anymore.
It would be a lot better if we had another decent RB for him to be the clear #2 to.

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)

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 mobs
Yeah, 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.

The HM shortlist (Or candidates to replace Ace if you really don't want to count it), in no real order, is Mob Psycho 100, Pandora in the Crimson Shell, Zombieland Saga, and Oshi no Ko

Frieren may be hella recency bias but I'm pretty sure that it'd be at least top 10 even if I am overrating it because of that.

Kenshin and Spice and Wolf could very easily both be on this list when their adaptation remakes conclude, too.

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 mean i can't blame him for starting to collapse if he's actually engaging with people because it's an untenable position. even by its own framework, definitions purposefully don't exist and explanations, unfortunately, keep the parts people are talking about vague and with unknown standards. you can't actually argue for the rule when the rule doesn't actually exist in any clear way and is admitted to having no reasonable definition that can apply, you can only shove it through. argument and conversation demand reason, the new rule explicitly lacks it.
tbh I almost sympathize with him as a person on this whole mess and having to be the sacrificial damage control lamb.

But he's getting paid for it so nah not actually.

worse than that Reg, CE is at the forefront of this issue because that's where a lot of are the mods come and where a lot of things get modded, partially because it's where a lot of people went to after the politics boards were killed.
Yeah, let me rephrase this a bit.

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.

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?

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.

What it actually is, at least so far, is a terrible comedy. The amnesia guy has seemingly reverted to the mindset of a three-year old and spouts nothing but the most juvenile jokes. I lost count of how many jokes he made about nipples and none of them were funny. His friend, a superstar pitcher, also has the personality of a piece of cardboard.
This, however, is enough. Thanks for sparing me this shit Roba.

lastly i went and watched the new bartender and uh.... so comments i've generally been seeing are saying this is a BETTER anime than the original? like seriously i even went over the first episode of the original straight after (for the benefit of my flatmate) and i cannot believe anyone would say this, let alone for it to be the consensus (it has better ratings too...)
I haven't seen the original Bartender, but I thought that the first episode of the new one was pretty good. It's probably not going to blow anybody's minds or be talked about as best of the season/year, but unless the first episode is the best by a lot I strongly doubt I'll regret watching it.

Or is this a commentary that the original is fantastic, rather than the new one being bad?

The standalone app is just a Chromium applet (Electron)

I can't imagine it being a difficult feature to implement
Electron has more ways to hook into the underlying OS and fewer security features than the actual browser does, because it is running "trusted" (in theory) code, as opposed to a browser which can go to a web page that can be running theoretically anything in JS. Discord could implement it if browsers allowed them to, but also a global hotkey listener, if not handled properly, is functionally equivalent to a full-on keylogger.

Even if you don't think Discord is/would use it that way, it's not a stretch to say that other malicious sites (or even malicious ads on otherwise benign sites) could/would.

The ability to have a global push-to-talk hotkey in voice conversations (Meaning, without needing to click back into the discord window) is actually quite important to me, and last I checked the browser version didn't support that. Admittedly, if not for that, I'm not sure I'd use the standalone version.
