And then you have me, who's so hardcore I was forced to sign up for Netflix so I could watch the Dutch dub of Tonari no Totoro . If I was any more hardcore, I'd figure out how to rip it from there, because it's the only home release it ever got, as far as I can tell. Can't even find a second-hand VHS (wouldn't be acceptable quality anyway).

But that whole situation means I'm a Netflix subscriber who "prefers dubs" for their stats, even though I rarely watch a dub.

I overshot, went down in what I thought were reasonable steps and still never made it onto the charts. It isn't a big ball, but the elastics are pretty small too, right...?

Gee, I wonder why no one tried this plan for ever-lasting peace in Europe.

I just realized that top-to-bottom also solves the problem with smearing discussed in another comment. Your hand is moving down, away from the fresh characters. By the time you move over to the next line, the top is already dried. (Especially with the time it takes to fill a line with kanji, which are denser than Latin script.)

Isn't RD canonically gay with AJ? I haven't watched beyond S5, so I only heard the memes, but I thought some people freaked out about the butch rainbow horse being the gay. (Though maybe they freaked out because RD+Rarity is OTP as Faust intended.)

I tell myself that RD is bisexual so I have a shot with her, but I'm delusional, or so the doctors tell me.

Wow, how strange to hear Gotou Yuuko use her Mikuru voice again. I recently heard her in a minor role in HanaShura and she used this old lady voice that immediately made me feel ancient, but now I realize she can do whatever she wants with her voice and it wasn't a sign of her (or my) age. I'm still young! 2006 wasn't 19 years ago!

Should have corrected for the pile a bit better, went over because I assumed it was about 3 shreds thick everywhere.

Justwatch reliably tells me "this isn't available for streaming in your region". Sonarr tells me it's an AMZN Webrip and I can Just Watch™

Edit: But like, no shade on Justwatch, it works as intended. It's the streaming services who get worldwide licensing rights and then don't bother targeting my little region.

I'm impressed by the soundtrack and sound design. For most things they had a great manga to copy from, but the sounds are all brand new. It fits the animation and style very well though.

This one was very regular, I could see the exact number of tiles and the only guessing involved was the distribution of the pips. Though I did mess up by assuming every side had at least 1 pip, which I later noticed wasn't true.

Lemmy.zip is down and probably took DailyGameBot down with it, so here is a fleshy human doing a machine's work.

Edit: Argh, this community is on lemmy.zip, so you'll probably only see this when the bot is back up (^_^')

 

I'm interested to hear about anime that give a different experience when putting the episodes in a different order. They can be official orders (broadcast vs dvd) or fan orders (moving arcs around, putting seasons in chronological vs release order). Maybe you can even think of examples where a companion movie is inserted in the middle of a season? Two separate projects by the same author or studio that can be weaved together to form a consistent whole?

Have to add that we work exclusively in strongly-typed languages. Kinda want to see how it plays out, but I can't help but argue with him, so I think I'll just go.

 

Getting +18 mult from Ride the Bus, +24 mult from Blueprint (looking at Erosion), +24 mult from Erosion, x1.5 mult from holographic Scholar and another x1.5 mult from a copied holographic Scholar for a total of nearly 19000 points. If I play an ace, it's not even that much more, only 8 mult from the Scholars? Trying to whittle my deck down to only aces so I can play four of a kind, but even then most of the mult will be Erosion.
