  That’s how you know the anime is based.

    5 star anime imo. They perfectly capture the vibe of speed runners. How as a pro you do the werdest shit to increase efficiency, but it’s second nature to you, and how you get that love hate relationship with a game.

      I wouldn’t even say it’s a speedrunner vibe specifically. The anime is simply showing that the author actually cares about how good video games are made and all the different types of players that get drawn to them. The weirdos, the pro players, the collectors, the addicts, the laid-back types and the lore geeks… Anyone who enjoyed playing any video game ever would see at least one relatable character.

  Shangri-la Frontier perfectly captures where the fun in video games lies.

  It also has a weird obsession with energy drinks. To a point where you could think it’s a placement, but apparently it isn’t

    After seeing several YouTubers and a couple of podcasts promote energy drinks without actually being sponsored, I feel that many people have an energy drink problem. Joking about it is just one way to cope with that while staying relevant to their audience.

      Sounds very plausible.

      What’s most shocking to me is the extent. I drink about a single, sugar free energy drink a day, but they act like drinking a couple in a single gaming session is normal. It’s crazy man

      I feel like it’s a mix of that combined with a similar situation to the cola wars. Everyone has their favorite and wants to talk about it with others while also saying the other brands are bad.

    It’s kind of concerning how many he drinks.

  Gives me vibes of Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night using proper discord UI for their calls
