okay friends im getting confused one day shes trying to get me to send her a good morning text everyday the next, shes ignoring me all day what kind of bullshit
how does anyone type on a laptop without getting like rashes on their skin from the big giant plateau that leads up to the keyboard itself why can't the keyboard be at the front so i'm not cutting off my wrist circulation
>>296603 there's a lot of pause and correction is the problem people talk so fast but they never know how to make a sentence so i have to type so fast and be ready for it but erase so much crap and then maybe not have anything for 20 seconds
Yeah that component looked kind of dumb to me. I'd have to see how in-depth the end-game new content is before I get comitted. The last time Pokemon created game gen sequels they made the best Pokemon games to date, but I wasn't wholly sold on Sun/Moon to begin with.

"UB Burst is Fire/Ghost with a new move, Mind Blown"
Kirara
burst looks cool i like the design
>>296616 i hope they do it all 3d like they did with sm
Anno
I'm not really big on its design. Really a lot of the Ultra Beasts kind of don't click well with me. But this one is a clown full of edges and I can't really get on board with that.
Kirara
haha I really like the UBs best pokeman ever is mimikyuu though
Pretty dumb. I'm not really bothered by series where everyone fucking dies for the sake of dying so it's whatever. But there's stupid funny things in it, like how he drops his guard for like, five seconds, gets kissed, and now thirty-something people have to die instead of two. That sort of thing is funny to me. It's just too absurd.
>>296654 it was pretty ridiculous i'll give it a few more episodes i think
Anno
>>296655 Oh yeah, we'll still have Ballroom this season. At least UTW can't keep a reliable release schedule to save their lives so that won't always be clogging up the day.
i assume nobody is gonna watch tsukipro or dynamic chord though
Anno
Tsukipro wasn't the kind of thing I'd be watching by myself. And Rika has some vehement objection against fujobait for the sake of fujobait. Or something.
Dynamic Chord wasn't even out this Thursday so it wasn't talked about.
There are a lot of shows that look really good this season. I don't envy you group watchers for /// who have to work out the logistics.
I want to watch Inuyashiki with Blue, though.
Anno
Looking at the list, I see 28-29 shows on the shortlist for things we'll keep watching through the season, and that includes stuff that's high drop potential like Ousama Game and Black Clover. As well as stuff that hasn't aired yet but I figure will at least get trial'd. That just barely squeaks out to four shows a day more or less.
I'm seeing like 25 shows I'm probably going to be checking out, and I'm expecting to keep with at least 20 of them. This season is a little unreasonable.
I thought Black Clover episode 1 was interesting. You didn't like it?
Anno
I think spring/fall seasons are generally heavy.
>>296663 It felt like standard uninspired shounen fare to me. >Weak but genki MC with super-talented, kind of reserved "rival" brother-like character >Gets shat on and mocked for his dreams because he's so incompetent >In a moment of almost death his real power emerges and it's secretly the strongest and most "evil" Add in the obnoxious NON-STOP YELLING THAT IS ALL THAT COMES OUT OF HIS FUCKING MOUTH and it was really difficult to enjoy.
I'm not saying it can't redeem itself or get fun but that pilot episode was really annoying.
Hahaha I really love MUSCLE WIZARDS The MC, alto, or whatever, is supposed to become a muscle wizard or something that just punches people or something? I think it could be fun, I'm sort of looking forward to it.
I'll probably drop Ousama game. Maybe Dies Irae depending on the first episode.
green is probably going to keep with, blue is going to check out will add 3-gatsu if i can keep up what a full season
Anno
Right now we've checked out UQ Holder, Black Clover, Juuni Taisen, Souma, Konohana, Urahara, Just Because!, Ousama. We'll probably trial everything from Sunday, Net-juu, maybe Evil or Live, Boku no Kanojo maaaaybe, Inuyashiki, pretty much everything from Friday 'cept Robomasters and maybe Garo, and everything from Saturday probably. Though Rika's already threatened to drop UQ Holder if it gets too Kenppoi. I'll probably keep watching it even if we're no longer watching it as a group though.
moon
why would anyone spend money on this and then spend the time to go out and do it
Kirara
hmm kino and net-juu are out early i guess i need to move those to friday
Kirara
no wait kino was supposed to be out today it's net-juu that's early
Kirara
>>296668 i started UQ but every girl was naked in the first few minutes and i just stopped haha
>>296672 I would recommend giving the full episode and see if you like the rest of the content. While the series is done by Akamatsu Ken and therefore is always going to have ecchi elements, that's definitely not the core component of the series.
Jokes aside, exposure is nice but if it's constant it'll be boring. Probably not something I would watch?
Anno
Probably reserve judgement for a more accurate understanding instead of jumping to conclusions based off a single statement that barely covers anything?
UQ Holder is a sort-of sequel to Ken's previous work, Mahou Sensei Negima, that picks up two generations after the previous series. It details an organization of immortals and their work to make the world a better place. The series is a bit of a shounen adventure fantasy at heart but there's also a lot of science fantasy involved. Ken also took fighting choreography way seriously when he was writing Negima and at least in his manga the fights are pretty engaging to read.
TalesofNukes !5cY5Lovers
I should have expected as much but it seems that PAN likes Eve

Anno
Like there's going to be fan service in the series because Ken is a fucking degenerate but after the sneeze in episode one there's nothing remotely comparable to it for the rest of the episode.
>>296727 Yeah I was doing some precursory checking in. Really feels like the kind of character that Rika's going to go "oh that's me"./

Anno
There's a theatre right downtown near where I do my night classes. It would be so easy to just pop in after class and watch something. But going to a theatre by myself is a bit too much for me/
i had a ukrainian mom for a while who made really good meatballs and stuffed peppers i miss those so much right now those are the most delicious things i can remember
I don't mind doing things alone sometimes other people detract from stuff you enjoy
Anno
It's not particularly the ticket booths that get me. It's being one in a thick crowd. It kind of makes me super-aware of myself and gets me a little anxious.
yeah on a friday night it would be more strange but in the middle of the day it seems less strange i did self study in high school so i would go to the theater on my own in the middle of the day a lot it was a lot of fun i had these silver AMC tickets that was permit one and you can only use one per day so it worked out perfectly
>>296768 i used to go to the midnight shows a lot i know i saw akira there, as well as the cowboy bebop movie and some others i took a friend there to see a scanner darkly at midnight and my car battery died and i couldn't get us home so we were 16 and stuck in a parking lot in the loop at 2am someone tried to soft mug us but we didn't have anything because we were 16 so he just left

speaking of nazies did you know during ww1, both UK and germany with turkey were trying to get the locals and european jews on their side, by promising them an "israel"

Cons are when all your friends go and take pictures with people like the original black power ranger and you get to sit there in sadness because your pockets weren't full when tickets were being sold.
Spains fused when queen of Castille and king of spain married and merged the two kingdoms into spain they then kept all their overseas provinces, meaning aragon's territory in italy, sicilia and napoli and spain's in africa and the budding colonies and amusingly at this point the crown of aragon still held claim to the kingdom of jerusalem, though it had been lost to the muslims ages ago
Also, both spanish kingdoms had first born male gets the crown, which is why the "Iberian wedding" happened
Later on the spanish crown was inherited by the Habsburg dynasty of Austria, Holy Roman Empire, and also the current Holy Roman EMperor dynasty and so the next eldest son inherited both the positions of Holy Roman Emperor and King of Castille and Aragon and whatnot and then through messy business few decades earlier that was the Burgundy succession, when the territories of Burgundy were passed to the Crown of HRE, spain also got the lowlands however, just few decades later the lowlanders had gotten enough of spanish domination and rebelled and formed this state called "Netherlands" Ensue 100 years of war
Eventually the two Habsburg dynasties split and HRE crown returned to Austria alone and Spain had their branch of the habsburgs either removed by france or it died out I think it died out, which launched yes The War of Spanish Succession between France and Austria Which merged with War of Jenkins Ear between spain and England
unresolved issues of this war would eventually lead to the Seven Years War, which caused your rebellion
Now the amusing thing is, that while it was the King of Aragon who became the sovereign of the unified country, it was the Catalonians who became the dominant people of the new kingdom with the capital moved to the modern Madrid, though instead of the old castillian capital, but in the castillian territory nonetheless
While I am not expert in spanish history, I don't think there was that much ethnical tension in the spanish kingdom, aside the inquisition driving out the jew and mooslim I guess I should look into it but franco era started fucking up catalonians at the very least.

>>297257 family mostly it's considered very very rude to drop family members out on the street >Japan also has public assistance programs to cover basic living expenses, housing costs, compulsory education and skill training costs, health insurance, and funerals. To apply, people must visit the welfare office of their municipality, which checks their claim and usually gives an answer within two weeks. If a household's total income falls below the minimum living expense set by the health and welfare minister, the household is eligible for welfare benefits. Before their claims are even considered, applicants must first sell off any items in their household deemed unnecessary "luxury goods" by caseworkers, though the definition of what constitutes "luxury" items varies among the municipalities, and individual welfare officials have discretion in determining what must be sold off. Generally, items such as wide screen televisions, cars and motorbikes (unless found to be necessary in seeking work), and musical instruments must be sold. In some cases, applicants have been even told to sell their own homes and live off the revenue before eligibility for welfare. Once approved for public assistance, recipients must follow the guidance of a caseworker assigned to them in how to spend their money. The public assistance programs benefit about 1.7% of the population. About 50.8% of these households are elderly people, 26.6% were households with sick or disabled members, and 6.2% are single-female-parent families

>>297257 There are lot that get funds from their parents. in the early days they'd just live with their parents and never move out, living a NEET life in their bedrooms. Nowadays it is common for Hikkis to be giving // given apartments and flats and given money by their parents in hopes they will find work eventually.
There is no real welfare system in Japan, at most you will work for a while at some place with Hello Work and save up money and then quit and hikki it up and rinse and repeat.
If you have gaps in your employment history you can generally say goodbye to getting a good job, especially if you drop out of education. It can be pretty hard to climb out of NEET/HIKKI lifestyle
>>297267 NEET covers a lot of age groups but the sick and disabled do get welfare at the expense of freedom that we see disabled people get here. If you fuck up your life in any way really you can expect to have a lot of difficulty finding a job.
Japan still clings strongly to the idea of a job for life. You get better employment based on how long you have worked at a company not by your merit. If you are a dropout and have been a NEET you are really unlikely to ever get a good job.

You say "I am going home" that is in general gramatically wrong, but it is accepted as shortened form of "I am going to my home" home usually means "your home" afterall, especially in that circuimstance and skipping the to is just making it more easier to say which is the general path of language to be more convenient to use
>>297361 yeah I know how it works there grammatically any language but the point is that it is an exception to common usage
one of the reasons why I don't like english language that much it lacks ruels *rules and the exceptions to rules aren't defined enough Germany is a fucking beautiful language when it comes tor ules I mean it has a rule for the exception of a rule hmm hwo the fuck do I say that in english... exception of a rule of an exception of a rule of an exception of a rule of an exception of a rule

>>297435 Just know that you're wrong and the assumptions that you've made are wrong as they don't follow the general evidence of trends that marvel sales do.
it goes against my basic security and anti-virus policy
Anno
it's a html file took like nothing to download
Koi-
It's whatever if you don't want to download it. I'm just going to tell you that you're incorrect since you aren't going to do so. Like... just trust me on this. There are people who have researched it more extensively than looking at three months of sales figures.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I'd read it if I could ahve it 100% online without downloading some sketchy stuff
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>297440 Well I have this document here you are never goin to read that proves you are incorrect
Anno
If something is 100% online you're downloading it all anyway
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>297440 > just trust how many years have we known each other?
Maria
I downloaded it and my computer hasn't exploded
Anno
Like, the basic premise of something being 100% online means, in order to obtain it, you need to download it.
I got fucked over by a ver y similiar concept on a very trusted site just because the hackers had hid the thing in the download thingie quite well by hacking that site
and welp that was ages ages ago I still base my shit on that
Nope just nope never again
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
do you touch a red hot stove again, after getting burnt once?
Anno
Yes.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
good for you also you apparently never got burnt
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
in the literal sense not in my "got trojans" sense
Anno
No I got burnt. But maybe the stove isn't as hot this time.
>>297461 same but I alwayus get attracted to "tumpling down tumbling down tumbling doooown"
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>297462 I dunno comic books afterall come around with "prepay to get 5 extra pages" and "also buy this extension to be guaranteed to get he next 2 issues ofr 85% the price"
Anno
>>297460 14-17 years ago what has that got to do with anything?
>>297464 Those are consumer problems. I mean issues with development and developers. Although, consumer problems in comics is an interesting thing in itself and adds to its development problems.
>>297525 I'm sure I've mentioned it before. I think my mom is poisoning my stepfather, or at least, was. There hasn't been any further degeneration in the past 6 months, so she's probably stopped after destroying his brain to the degree that she could use him for attention and get disability money eventually.
>>297530 Not really slowly. The degeneration began almost immediately after I moved out and his cognitive abilities slowly got worse for a while and have now stabilized where she wants it, probably. >>297533 Huh? They live together. They're married. I used to interact with him daily until I moved out.
But whatsoever my tinfoil stuff and my bad experiences
your stepfathers degeneration might have just gotten worse as you moved away he might have been degenerating for a longer while but you never noticed and as he lost another contact, you, he startet degenerating more rapidly and as you had less contact with him you noticed it more easily
The thing is just say myu granny motherside was REAL bad in her memory stuff, mostly because of alzhaimers but after she got into a better senior care house with more interraction between her and her compatriots and her caretakers she remembered a lot more recent things and stuff in her past
>>297566 If you had said "she never carries a gun and is black belt" I wouldn't meet her ever but since she does carry a gun it leaves me with ways of defending myself against her, if she does decide to assault me
Well, in any case, I don't know that she's poisoning him.
She keeps trying to claim it was caused by a drug he took in the army like 25 years ago. She claims the drug just suddenly caused brain degeneration 25 years later. It's a ridiculous claim.
Well, it's too late for me to help him, unfortunately. I never really liked him because of his role in the dissolution of my parents marriage and because he'll date a married woman, but I don't want him to die or anything.
My mom abuses him now, really terribly. She constantly berates him for his poor memory and plays games with him, trying to make him remember things that he obviously can't remember. Sometimes she makes things up and says they happened to see how he'll react. When I told her not to play games with him like that once, she said he'd forget it anyway.
My step father recently got a heart condition tat is being treated but still leaves him with constant risk of DEATH or becoming incapable of working but I kinda what do you call it familiar love? well in that kind of love him
>>297588 Yeah and this is nothing like your "lol imats is robot" stuff this is Me level it is being "okay with holocaust" to "are you even human" levels it is taughtable is that a word teachable maybe that
but it isn't healthy and the moments the mental state you learn cracks on you
But it does let you to be maximum insensitive at 99% of times
Kirara
sorry about this blue but i just got another neph >>297589 shoganai everyone's got their own way i guess
Koi-
>>297592 none of this matters to me because I'm not going to play anymore Enjoy best girl
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>297592 tsch last time I tried teaching someone I got a mentally inbalanced stepbrothet though I doubt that was my fault but anyhow taht was my only attempt so far
>>297616 It's so much. It's so good. A lot of the later stuff ends up being him just going over various sales trajectories though. but the "It couldn't even beat scooby fucking doo" part was worth.
>>297619 He likes twine, it's easy to host and distribute through itch.io, which is a moderately known service for hosting small independent games but also takes things like his. And if you don't want to read his stuff like that, you can always read his twitter. Which is often the same stuff just spread out in tweets.
Anno
>>297617 Yeah, after a bit all the X Y Z, Volume Last sold W thousand copies started to all blend together. After a bit he had already kind of proved his point and was just beating the dead horse. Detailing the direct market pre-order system was pretty informative though. And I didn't know comic issues were going 3-6 USD a pop nowadays. That's a LOT of money for twenty-odd pages of content, even if they are all colour. I wouldn't buy shit at that price unless I REALLY wanted it.
>>297623 Oh, I just got what you were trying to say. I went back and read them.
Maria
>>297626 well I dunno about viruses embedded in the page, but I can confirm this one doesn't ask for any information At all You just download a html page
>>297625 The reason for beating the dead horse is to get all the things that people would expect to be good and just shoot that expectation in the foot. But I feel that's obvious.
>>297632 No, I get that. But after a point I feel his message was gotten across, and he could have just written "these results are consistent across any iteration you could imagine", and if people challenge him later, just have the statistics at hand.
Maria
>>297625 >20 pages >for four dollars That's like one dollar for five pages I liked when he compared it to stuff like Shounen Jump
>>297634 Yeah, see, that's the thing. I don't think he wants to be challenged later on it. The essay IS titled "Shut the fuck up, Marvel." I felt the same way about a lot of it but having read the things he tweets about at frequency, you start to understand that the horse needs to not only die, but turn into pink mist, and then boiled lest someone raise it from the dead.
>>297638 It's not just that marvel makes bad decisions, but that the comic book industry runs in a very terrible way and the things that Marvel believes are its bad decisions are completely evading the state of affairs. So Colin wrote a long essay about how dumb the industry is, how dumb Marvel and other places, but especially Marvel because they're loud about it, are, and gives lots of numbers and history about it.
>>297636 So if your thing was unaffiliated with marvel
what it would be about?
Maria
>>297638 Marvel is obtuse, responds badly to criticism, and sucks a lot at marketing
Anno
>>297640 More than that, I think in some cases they intentionally mislead fans to garner sales. Like with the whole Mockingbird flagstone argument, the guy who was telling them to buy volumes -ought- to know what he's saying is a lie. If he doesn't that's a gross incompetence in his role in the company as well.
Koi-
>>297643 Oh yeah, I forgot about that. There are times where Marvel just outright does shit like this.
>>297639 Well, I can kind of see where the subject matter that each is interested in may overlap some, but it's hard to believe that there's a lot of overlap in terms of customers. Are they going to make comics about awesome missiles and stuff?
>>297640 >>297642 I do believe that industry is kind of dumb. At least that's what I hear.
>>297650 So the defense contractor is basically using them as PR? Still kind of a strange move.
Kirara
>>>/@ziyatong/916405579379175424 >>297652 Basically. It also goes against the whole tony stark can't be iron man aand a defense contractor because defense contractors are evil thing that marvel is into
sk
>>297651 That's the case as long as anyone's posting
