saving this for when I play botw on Dolphin. Thanks

I have some free invites to some private servers as well (mainly BakaBT for anime/manga stuff and MyAnonamouse for anything books)

But inviting someone that wouldn't have a good ratio is bad, right?

you know the starting letter, do you know how many letters it has?

I've had my hydro flask copycat for more than a year now. I'm happy with it.

to each his own I guess. He's not my favourite actor, not even my favourite comedy actor (that goes to the late Robin Williams). But he makes decent movies, especially his old ones. The new ones, especially if produced by his studio Happy Madison, are formulaic and bland.

Why do you hate him with fiery passion?

another thing that kind of threw me off was that I remember the 3rd-person view was a lot closer than from the videos I've watched. Like it was 3rd-person but the camera was like a feet or two above the person. The videos of the game was like the camera is placed on a ceiling.

yeah it was, thanks. I thought this wasn't it last time I checked, but looking at videos again (now with sound), I'm certain this is it. Thanks!!

Damn I don't know what's different tonight but I found it already. It was Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions on PSX. I swear I already checked this before, and I thought it wasn't it.

But upon watching some videos of it again (now with sound), I think this it. I vaguely remember the sound it makes when succeeding.

Anyways, thread over.

Actually it is, but not the 1st one. It was Syphon FIlter 3.

This part in the hotel room, I vividly remember. Thanks.

I didn't watch the trailers for it, but Click by Adam Sandler was supposedly marketed as another Adam Sandler comedy but was actually tearjerker drama with a medium heavy sprinkle of comedy.

Forgot to add, I'd be happier if it's a complete series.

I did some digging around and someone theorized that Heather was being stalked by the superfan. That's why Heather felt like her life was in danger (well she said she felt like that all the time, but maybe the stalker situation was her boiling point).

Heather asked for Jill's gun because she intended to murder the superfan and set it up as self defense. (It'd be easy to call out the superfan by messaging her through instagram)

Thoughts?

Writing it out though I saw a simple flaw. If Heather directly messaged the superfan, the superfan would've instantly messaged her friends or posted something.

 

NFS Most Wanted Black Edition (PC): Can't Seem to Get any Pink Slips, Am I Just Unlucky?

I've been playing this old game for a bit and I've beaten 4 blacklist members already. I've missed getting the pink slips each time which is 1 out of 3 every time or 1/81 in total.

What's wrong?

Full disclosure, I'm playing dodi-repack of the game.

 

Which Lemmy App is Stable Like Jerboa but has "Hide Read Post" Feature? (and no not the lemmy built-in setting to hide read posts).

I've tried Infinity and Sync but they're unstable (closes out when posting comments, posts, viewing context, etc.) which rarely happens in Jerboa.

 

Besides Robux, What Can I Give to My Little Brother that Plays Roblox?

I just think Robux bad value for its price.

 

Kayden moments are always badass. Purposely using a different style while battling one of the strongest to teach his disciple (Jiwoo).

 

T1 3 - 2 KT

Telecom Wars is a BANGER!!

That Game 5 was heart wrenching.

3 Baron Steals, 1 Elder Flip

This has got to be one of the best series in Competitive League history.


Is there a way to automate this? I'm always late in posting these because I can't watch the games live. (And ofc I don't want to spoil myself).


LCK Global Highlights

 

Is There a Website Where I Can Roughly Check Prices of Used Tech Available Locally? (Particularly E-Readers)

To be clear, I would not be buying them online. I would only be looking at the prices and probably look around in Akihabara or the appropriate place on where to buy stuff like these.

 

Just Finished Vita Nostra

 

It was weird.

It wasn't what I expected when I was looking for a story about "Magic Schools".

I can't say I fully understand what was happening as I've read it, or the message it was trying to convey. Sometimes I had to double back a paragraph or two just to better my vague understanding of the story.

Nevertheless, I devoured this book in one day; words just kept pouring as I read, giving glimpses of a fleeting story. That is to say, I enjoyed my experience in reading it. I don't know if it's something I'd read again in the future, but at least I know it was a good adventure.

What are your thoughts to this book?

How do you interpret its ending?

Why is Sasha short for Alexandra?

  1. Hearing "Osamu Tezuka", what are your impressions even if you haven't read any of his works?
  2. If you've read any of his works, do you think it holds up to modern manga?

Introduction

Osamu Tezuka, often referred to as the "God of Manga," was a prolific Japanese manga artist, animator, and film producer. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of manga and anime. Tezuka's impact on the industry is immeasurable, as he pioneered many of the storytelling techniques and visual styles that continue to shape manga and anime to this day.

Short Bio

Osamu Tezuka was born on November 3, 1928, in Toyonaka, Osaka, Japan. He demonstrated an early interest in drawing and animation, creating his first manga at the age of five. Tezuka's contributions to manga are so significant that he is often credited with shaping the modern manga industry. He played a pivotal role in moving manga from being primarily humorous and light-hearted to encompassing a wide range of genres and themes.

Tezuka's major works include:

Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom) (1951)

Astro Boy is one of Tezuka's most iconic creations. It follows the adventures of a robot boy named Atom in a futuristic world where robots and humans coexist. The series was groundbreaking for its exploration of complex moral and ethical dilemmas through the lens of science fiction.

Black Jack is a brilliant surgeon with a mysterious past and a penchant for performing miraculous medical procedures. The series delves into medical ethics, societal issues, and the human condition.

Phoenix (Hi no Tori) (1954)

Phoenix is an epic manga that spans multiple timelines and explores themes of immortality, rebirth, and the cyclical nature of human history. Each story arc is set in a different time period, from ancient Japan to a distant future.

Buddha (1972)

Buddha is a historical drama that retells the life of Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism. Tezuka's unique storytelling combines historical accuracy with imaginative elements.

Kimba the White Lion (Jungle Taitei) (1950)

Legacy

Osamu Tezuka's impact on the manga and anime industries is immeasurable. His innovative storytelling techniques, cinematic panel layouts, and diverse range of genres have shaped the medium for generations to come. Tezuka's work laid the foundation for the development of more mature and socially relevant themes in manga, expanding its audience and artistic possibilities.

Fun Fact

Osamu Tezuka's animation studio, Mushi Productions, faced financial difficulties due to ambitious projects and overexpansion. Despite its eventual bankruptcy, Tezuka's creative vision and legacy continued to inspire countless artists and animators, leading to the vibrant industry we know today.

What do you think about this author and his works?


Hello, I'll try to make at least one mangaka discussion post per week. Let me know in the comments which one you want to see next time.

Any suggestions to make these better are welcome.

Should I Continue Reading Rinne?

I'm about 15 chapters in and it's just the same "enemy" of the week story.

I tried to read it because Rumiko Takahashi (damn she's still making manga at 66).

Does the story get better?

 

Are There Free Wi-Fis on Train Stations? or Recommend Places With Free Wi-Fi?

I'll be traveling with a big group (family of about 20+) and we might avail a portable wifi device for the group as a whole.

If I plan to do some stuff away from the group, are there any reliable places where they offer free wi-fi so I don't get lost?

 

Please Give Me Some Alternatives to Genshin Impact and Spider-Man (PS4) on PC/Android

I realized that I like these two games a lot and their common feature is the open world side quest things.

When I play Spider-Man instead of teleporting to the main quest, I swing to the general direction and probably clear most of everything I encounter (Photography, Random Crimes, enemy hideouts, etc.) that I find myself spending most of my time doing the world quests rather than the main story quests.

Same thing with Genshin, I remember my first 10 or so hours of playing it was just looking for chests throughout the map, opening waypoints, looking for those anemoculus, etc.

Bad thing with Genshin though is that it has Gacha so I thought to look for Alternatives.

Yes, I could just continue playing Spider-Man instead but I don't normally have access to a PS4/PS5. (I can play on PC, but I'd rather just finish it on the ps4 instead of paying for it twice).

I guess in summary, please recommend games that has these amazing world quests (BOTW is another one, but I already plan to play that).
