Bump

Probably looking at the 15th for November I guess. Which is about two and a half weeks out.

Oh shit this is out ok I guess I gotta play video games soon

Unlike most of the times we've had this conversation, the "clean" CR isn't even fucking clean lmao

It's kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation given SNAP, ATCs, etc but when the Republicans are literally willing to just starve and kill people in their attempts to neuter the pathetic "healthcare" system this country already has what do you even fucking do?

You know, I'm remembering this morning that for a little bit before this topic went up I was reading Nana.

Got like 20-25ish chapters in before just kinda stopping and losing all momentum with it.

I wasn't really super into it (I would've gotten back to it by now if I was), but I'm still curious as to how you evaluate it now that I think about it. I guess that's not really a ringing endorsement but still lol

Propped up is not even an exaggeration, the US would be in recession without it.

It's kinda mind-boggling because it usually takes a while for a newly elected President/Congress's policy to really ripple though the US economy and have a clear impact.

But the dipshits in charge chose the one route (tariffs) that both have an obviously fast impact and just straight up fuck things up.

Haibane Renmei is a series where it's not super unreasonable to feel like that even if you binge it tbqh

Cuomo really heavily leaning into senpai trump wont invade New York if Im mayor because he likes me which is wild on multiple levels.

oh no

it's stupid

https://archipelago.gg/dl_spoiler/SeNSomyiQQSbp3vaJI51YA is the spoiler log for October.

We were on the smaller side this month, but I'm hoping everybody enjoyed anyways.

For November, I'm not sure between the 15th and 22nd. I think the question is ultimately going to be around the US Thanksgiving Holiday and whether people will generally have more time because of that (And thus favor the 22nd) or whether they'll want to avoid it (And favor the 15th).

I follow Tennis where I can, though less so post-covid than before that.

I've considered trying to actually follow NPB but the timezone difference is pretty yikes for my motivation to actually follow through.

If esports counts I literally have the League of Legends World Championship on another monitor right now, but I mostly still follow that out of inertia and the big events, and have fallen off of pretty much any other esports I was previously interested in and will definitely be watching even less next year than I did this year.

top 1 mishandled anime franchises

.

https://archipelago.gg/room/-iwmzRK8QOOdaqP6_gmdNA is the room for October's multiworld.

fwiw Dungeon Meshi is probably the second highest-rated/most universally loved (Behind JJBA) of anything on your list.

Just to say that yes, it does go enough places to keep it up for 24 episodes and maintain quality throughout.

One more bump.

Last-ish call for yamls, you've got right around 24h

and now i finished ep 10 and it's like the craziest fever dream. like what the fuck is going on

tbh between the time it aired and this topic I hadn't given Animegataris any thought pretty much at all.

But this plus feeling like half the references were going over my head as I watched it were the only things I really remembered about it when it came up here.

Glad to see that several years later it's still getting the same reaction

I would imagine talking about romhacks then could fall under "promoting the use of pirated games".

This is also probably true. Seems like something that would just be up to the discretion of however the mod that sees it feels that day instead of being a well-defined rule to me.

I'm not any sort of lawyer, but my understanding has always been that romhacks are no less legal than other forms of game modding, assuming there's no distribution of copyrighted stuff.

On a practical level, this means that as long as the hack only distributes a patch and you have to bring your own copy of the game to apply it to (And the patch doesn't contain copyrighted art/music/etc) it is generally fine.

Furthermore, I'm pretty sure creating (And using an emulator to play!) a backup rom of your own legally owned copy of a game is legal along the same lines. Distribution (whether sending or receiving) is obviously illegal though.

Bump

October's multiworld is next Saturday

Feel free to send yamls however you wish, as usual.

kateee posted...

oh yeah and Reki is the best character so far

Hell yeah.

UshiromiyaEva posted...

I don't even know how Jeffries got where he is. Is it just because he's in New York? That can't be our only qualifier.

Isn't it just "because Pelosi said so"?

kateee posted...

the best character... is actually Akira.

Don't agree here, but I definitely respect it.

Sheep007 posted...

France's new PM just resigned after a month because he couldn't get his cabinet voted in. Elections surely coming as the government is entirely useless, and the far-right will likely be coming in. Just a matter of how long Macron clings on, but I imagine the longer he stays the more support RN gets. Bit of a dilemma because if he doesn't leave, things have no chance to get better but it stops the far-right getting in short-term.

I'm not well educated in French politics but isn't a big reason for the current situation over there that Macron and his party outright refused to cooperate with the Left coalition despite them getting a plurality in the most recent elections? That was my probably incomplete understanding.

Bump.

September (The School Trip and Okumura's Palace) in Persona 5

Shanahan got his guy, only a few years late...!

the Crunchyroll description literally says "Come for the plot, stay for the doggo"

I get the feeling that the Crunchyroll Description for this show (And probably many others tbh, but I don't read them too much) is literally AI generated

That said, yeah, I watched Ep 1 of this and it was definitely a disappointment for the reasons you gave.

But it has at least some of the foundations to be enjoyable, at least.

Wixoss is fantastic and by far the best thing Okada has done tbh.

But it definitely lacks the wide appeal of something like Madoka even though that's a good "if you liked X..." for it

kateee posted...

anything on my now watching was at risk of getting dropped at any time so if you choose that, i'll give it more attention/try my best to watch as much as i can

Cool. Take that one then.

Can I/do I need to nominate "Finish Haibane Renmei"? It's on your actively watching instead of your dropped/on hold, but it's only 1 episode in

If you actually plan to continue that without a nomination here, then I'll say Pandora in the Crimson Shell instead.

Minor bump just to say https://archipelago.gg/dl_spoiler/9bBl4oZaSHy0dUVkGVRx1g is the spoiler for September.

October I'm planning on starting on the 18th, so about two and a half weeks for now. I'm open to shifting that a week in either direction if there's demand for it, but that's the plan.

I did a quick skim and I apparently haven't bought an EA game since Madden 07 so it sounds like I'll be keeping it that way

Fuck the Astros, hell yeah.

Just, legit, straight up

Get fucked Houston LMFAO

are the top 3 all Dallas games though

One of them was literally a Lions/Cowboys game from a couple years ago

The other two no (Eagles/Chiefs, Ravens/49ers)

But also remember this is only Monday Night Football on ESPN

This indictment is an obvious rush job to do something before the statute of limitations is up:

Ok, so, if it's not going to succeed, why is he being indicted at all?

Forceful_Dragon posted...

but that it couldn't be proved there was a conspiracy between those Russian interferers and the Trump campaign.

Because the people associated with the campaign obstructed the investigation so hard they couldn't get the evidence, according to Mueller.

Anyways, to say my last point more explicitly

Comey is a shitty person.
Comey is perceived (right or wrong) as a political enemy of those in power
Comey is being targeted by those in power to normalize going after their political enemies by starting with those that are known to be unpopular with the opposition, so that they have an easier time going after harder targets.

You may notice that John Bolton is currently getting similar treatment.

As a sweeping generalization, nobody on what passes for the American "Left" likes Comey or Bolton. That's why they're starting there. This is bad, even if we may feel like it's just desserts for shitbags who helped get these people into power.

Comey is a dirty asshat who's largely getting what he signed up for by blatantly and uniquely tipping the 2016 election to Trump but also this is a blatant nonsense prosecution of somebody perceived as a political enemy and is another sign of how fascism is accelerating even further among those in power.

The Rangers are 0-8 since Adolis Garcia came back.

They were 7-1 in their previous 8

And why have I been told the 3 anime is different from V3?

to be fair to this specific question, I'm not sure that V3 writing/production had even started yet when the DR3 anime aired.

Nvm I actually checked this one and am apparently rather wrong about it. it's still to "just" differentiate the two (Which, as you've seen, entails a fair bit more than the word 'differentiate' implies on its own), but still

pezzicle posted...

CLE is 20-5 in their last 25. This is crazy

they are on fire

too bad its unlikely to last another 6 weeks

Just before their current losing streak basically took them out of it the Rangers had something like a 7-1 stretch and *lost* a game in the standings between this, the Ms, and the Astros all deciding to play hot at the same time.

https://archipelago.gg/room/s4GNyJz1RuGbVEPt-FlVpg is the room for September's multiworld. Have fun.

Last bump.

Got 6ish hours to get a yaml in if you're interested. The list so far is looking like this:

Reg - Majora's Mask, VVVVVV
Wickle - A Short Hike, TUNIC
JeffRaze - Hollow Knight
Robazoid - Starcraft 2
Mewtwo - Star Fox 64, Pokemon Black
Koala - Hollow Knight
MSG - Pokemon Crystal

I wouldn't wish ridiculous workweeks like that on my enemies, man. Here's hoping that cleans up sooner than later.

Bump. Just a bit under a day before I roll September's multiworld.

Reg - Majora's Mask
Wickle - A Short Hike, TUNIC
JeffRaze - Hollow Knight
Robazoid - Starcraft 2

No wonder cable is dying.

Sinclair doesn't own any Cable stations. They own over-the-air local stations.

Very luckily, none in my market (Not that I watch that much regardless), but still, it's a very bad thing.

Bump.

Remember, you have until early Saturday afternoon US Eastern.

Reg - Majora's Mask
Wickle - A Short Hike, TUNIC

This is literally the first time I've ever seen anyone say they like Kiyo

And here I was under the impression "I liked Kiyo a fair bit until case 3 outright ruined him" (which is an opinion I share) was the common take LOL

My dude

If the Rangers don't take at least 2/3 from Houston starting today their season is functionally over I think.

Not formally. But functionally.

Luckily Adolis Garcia is back, and he always locks the fuck in against Houston. And I'm clearly not cursing this by saying so out loud.
