- Comment on New report suggests third-party Switch 2 game sales are "below estimates" 3 days ago:
Are they? If you didn’t buy the game with the intent of lending/reselling later I feel they’re even worse than code-in-a-box.
- Comment on New report suggests third-party Switch 2 game sales are "below estimates" 3 days ago:
Not surprising considering that most 3rd party games are:
- Ports of old games so anyone who has a PS5/Xbox/PC can get them for cheaper.
- Overpriced ports as well, and in a system that is already rather expensive.
- Game Key Cards which won’t appeal to collectors who could still buy them despite #1 and #2.
- Comment on What Romance Anime Do You Consider the Most Wholesome? 6 days ago:
Some series not mentioned yet.
- Tonikaku Kawaii
- Aharen-san wa Hakarenai (more focused on comedy but has surprisingly good and wholesome romance parts)
- The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity (upcoming)
- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 1 week ago:
There’s a lot of videos and articles like this one discussing how Stage 1-1 of Super Mario Bros for the NES is a cleverly designed tutorial for the core game mechanics.
- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been using backloggery.com for more than 15 years.
It’s a simple, manual site, but I think that’s also its main strenght - I’ve had too many issues with other sites where I wanted to add a niche game I played but it was not in their databases, inconsistent naming between games in the same series, no ability to add duplicates when I occasionally double-diped on a game and so on.
It has all features I need - you can add reviews, notes, track priorities, wishlist, borrowed games, make custom lists, get stats… it’s also community supported with no ads.
The site was a bit stale without development for a while, but Drumble (the owner) finished a major rewrite last year and started developing new features again. You can check his profile here for an example.

“wow anime is really popular right now”
CR’s success is pretty much that + not having any real competition.

I’ve already noticed a few groups that stopped posting to MD. And at least one big group (LHTranslation) that started deleting recent chapters from MD.

I’ve been really impressed with this series so far.
The initial premise is fairly boring, but once they kicked off the secondary plot with Mia it instantly became of one of my favorites. There’s a really great dichotomy between the “healing” story from Philia’s side and the struggles Mia is facing, and the loving relationship between the sisters is one of the most wholesome things I’ve seen in a long time.

This comparison with 0079 is really cool. bsky.app/profile/…/3lmv6zp2gc226
Though I suspect anyone new to Gundam will be feeling rather confused after this episode.

Ooh, nice, looks like they skipped ahead to get the second part of the plot started.

AKA Mia’s vengeance.
This is a great choice as that part of the story is far more intesting, and I think they’re going do both in parallel which will provide an interesting balance.

I came here to suggest that exact image. :D
- Comment on Aside from music anime, which ones do you consider to have a unique soundtrack? 2 months ago:
Shield Hero as well. And his music is definitely the highlight of that series.

I’ve read the manga adaptation.
The first arc is extremely formulaic and kinda boring, but the second arc is awesome. At the current pacing both should be covered with a 12 episode season.
Second arc spoilers
___ It focuses on Mia as she tries to get revenge on the people who wronged her sister while also trying to avoid the kingdom being destroyed due to a monster invasion.

The madman really did it, they really ended the season with that legendary panel from chapter 37, and they even included Mimimi and Meme. And according to comments from the VA on Twitter even though it’s sped up in the episode they did record the entire thing, and it’ll be included as a BD extra.
Also laughed really hard at several of the 4th wall breaking moments in this episode, in particular the one complaining about the production team rearranging chapter order. 😅
I’m dying for a new season. Bibury really did an amazing job with this adaptation.

- Comment on I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths! • A-Rank Party wo Ridatsu Shita Ore wa, Moto Oshiegotachi to Meikyuu Shinbu wo Mezasu. - Episode 3 discussion 4 months ago:
I enjoyed the Zarnag battle way more in the manga adaptation, it felt like a real high-stakes battle with some close calls, and end of it instead of celebrating they just go and huddle together to calm down. Definitely one of my favorite moments of the manga.
That being said, at this point in the story Yuke is way more likeable in the anime adaptation. Early on in the manga he’s very lacking in confidence so they keep using the “Yuke does something amazing, thinks it was nothing special, everyone goes crazy about it” setup way too often.
