If I had a complaint about the season it's mostly that it felt to me that it backdoored itself into being about returning to Mandalore. Seasons 1 and 2 were strong in that they had a really clear goal and expectations for the broad strokes of the story, while Season 3 just didn't have that expectation from the start which might be why it felt like there were pacing issues.

I did like a lot of the individual episodes and I don't think it's a bad season or anything, but I think I just liked the solo Mando vibe better overall. Maybe it will go back that way if the Mandalore plot line is actually resolved.

I'm trying to figure out if Bo-Katan is having an actual crisis of conscience or if she's playing the long game for some ulterior motive.

I think it might be some of both - she has definitely been broken down, what with her group bailing, her home being blown up and having apparently seen a myth. On the other hand, just going along with things and not rocking the boat seems like it is paying off for her so far, and her goals might be aligned with them anyway (aside from maybe who is on the throne in the end). She definitely seems like she's on a different level from anyone other than maybe Mando and the Armorer.

Ooooh, Apothecary Diaries is getting an anime this year: https://twitter.com/kusuriya_pr/status/1626023560455258113

Delicious in Dungeon (Dungeon Meshi) is probably the one you're thinking of.

In terms of performance, this is small but it feels like autobattling executes faster now, both with selecting the next target and actually starting the battle once your Pokmon is in the overworld.

Big 10 west pure trash. Cant wait for Nebraska to take it.

Nebraska gave me false hope this year and thus deserves nothing but pain.

I don't know if it's a shift in recruiting or what, but Northwestern is currently doomed to mediocrity (after ~10 years of modest success) until and unless they can find even a replacement-level quarterback. I don't even think it's strictly an NIL thing, it was just masked by the system in the early '10s and by lucking out on a local QB right when recruiting was starting to resemble its current modern state. I'm all the way checked out on this season and tbh after 4 seasons in a row of weirdness it's hard to see much optimism for anything.
