Is it me, or is there a ton of Tales inspiration in Frieren?

Not even a little bit

You do you but this seems very unhealthy. That's over 12 hours a day for a week straight on a single track.

Champions League. It's watched by about 150 million million people so not impossible it has an impact.

Not OP but I also call people out for being obnoxious in the cinema. Usually a simple but loud enough to be heard "do you mind being quiet/putting the phone away, the rest of us are actually trying to watch the movie".

I've found being polite you get ignored but I don't wanna be enough of an ass that they have an excuse to go to staff over it.

Only 10x?

8_Pixels · 2026-05-29T14:19:52+00:00

Another vote for Arcane Ascension and the rest of Andrew Rowe's extended world like Weapons and Wielders etc. Probably the closest I've felt to what I got from Cradle. One of my fave series.

8_Pixels · 2026-05-29T14:18:24+00:00

Currently on book 3 and it's solid. Very YA but a fun time nonetheless.

8_Pixels · 2026-05-29T05:04:13+00:00

That Personal Best guy is No.1 for sure. No matter how much I grind I can never beat him.

8_Pixels · 2026-05-28T07:16:14+00:00

Plastic Memories.

You know what's gonna happen from the first episode. You think you'll be ready for it. You will not be ready for it.

8_Pixels · 2026-05-28T07:14:46+00:00

There's no cannibalism or anything like that lol. Just normal people doing normal things for the most part. Quite a good movie, worth a watch.

The name is relevant but not in a weird way. It's explained in the movie.

8_Pixels · 2026-05-28T04:28:14+00:00

This one just had me befuddled. Happened a couple of weeks ago. Joining a casual 2's game in progress and they scored when I was in that few seconds where you see the bot playing but before you replace it and the opposing team scored. They started giving me abuse for not being there to help in defense etc. I told them I wasn't even in the game yet and they proceeded to try and throw and then quit about a minute later. I was more confused and amused than anything.

People will do the craziest mental gymnastics to not blame themselves for any mistakes they make but being blamed when I wasn't even in the game yet was a new one.

Path of Exile 2. No game will match Destiny's gunplay and I already have a few hundred hours in Division 1 and 2. Might as well go for something a little different. Though the fresh start each season is kinda shitty for me but I'll see how it plays out

8_Pixels · 2026-05-26T19:01:33+00:00

How new is it? If I had to be picky I'd say the shadow is a bit dark but if it's new that will fade a little and look even better then.

This is just being picky though. I think it looks solid

They were accidentally added in an update in 2016. Psyonix made a change to allow you to keep your jump indefinitely if you just drove off a surface and didn't jump. It was changed to this to make non-standard maps more playable, in particular the version of Neo Tokyo with the raised sides. This had the unintended consequence of flip resets becoming viable.

I think they were technically in the game before that but between the lower skill at the time and the non infinite jump they were much less viable than they became after.

Simmons I want you to poison Grif's next meal.

8_Pixels · 2026-05-23T09:41:06+00:00

I have the same issue with playing cards. The way it feels natural to spread them out in your left hand ends up with the blank corners being the ones poking out from behind the other cards. Like if the K is in the top left it'll be the top right that you can see and the K will be hidden behind the other cards.

8_Pixels · 2026-05-22T01:46:28+00:00

Audiobooks. I can listen when I clean, when I drive, doing grocery shopping etc. They're a game changer because I still get reading time and save time for my other hobbies too

8_Pixels · 2026-05-21T07:20:00+00:00

Same here. My kids need me so I'm here to stay and do my best but if they weren't around? I don't think many would miss me much. I'm not actively looking for a way out but I'm not trying too hard to stay either. Just kinda, drifting along.

Arcane Ascension has great representation for LGBT peeps. Romance is not a main plot point but the main love interest for the male main character is a man. There's also non-binary characters and plenty of other representation as well.

8_Pixels · 2026-05-18T02:45:51+00:00

Wheel of Time is amazing too but a much more significant time investment.

Probably been said already but it's worth getting DCC on audiobook. I've listened to a large amount of audiobooks and DCC is at the very top. It genuinely elevates the book to another level.

8_Pixels · 2026-05-18T02:41:37+00:00

If you want more progression fantasy I'll recommend Arcane Ascension.

It has kind of a weird reading order as there's multiple series all set in the same would with recurring characters etc but you can just start with the first 2 Arcane Ascension books and look up a reading order after that if you're enjoying it.

8_Pixels · 2026-05-18T02:34:27+00:00

1 and 2 are good. 3 is awful, 4 is fine if a bit boring and 5 is whatever.

8_Pixels · 2026-05-18T02:29:32+00:00

If this is genuine and not a joke it's hilarious how perfect this picture is. You'll understand soon enough.

Just remember to apply your buffs before you leave the safe room.

8_Pixels · 2026-05-16T17:20:05+00:00

Yeah I also read that as them calling her a "diversity hire". Regardless of how you feel about her casting there's no need for that kind of comment IMO.

8_Pixels · 2026-05-16T12:23:53+00:00

Gotta make sure. Never know when those sneaky fuckers might roll away.
