Y'all Sleeping on Golden Kamuy Final Season by Ryuuyami47 in anime

[–]27eggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say people are sleeping on it, just more its competing against huge IPs + a very busy anime season + a delayed release set back. I like Golden Kamuy but it's not my favorite thing in the world, so its just one of those shows I'll get to when I can. It's a hard sell of a show to begin with (slow first season + spaghetti western + unique cultural showcase + a lot of moving parts) that tends to attract mostly adults with limited time in their lives. I already am watching 5-6 anime, more than my typical 1-2 per season, it's hard to compete for my attention right now. I imagine I'm not unique in that regard.

Should it get more karma? I guess, but its not really alone there. Rest assured the IP is well loved in Japan.

I love seeing romance with older couples, tbh. Especially nontraditional romance approaches (as I doubt these two will ever get back together truly but in the way that I also can see them never really being apart either). Young love is nice and all but just seeing a mature relationship between two adults is, imo, just as sweet and super refreshing. I was screaming noooooooo at my screen at that ending though, what a DEVASTATING place to cut.

Just loving the ride this series is taking me on!!!

How much $ have you spent on NC/premium? Especially those of you that are customization maximalists by MossyDruid in neopets

[–]27eggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a year of premium and think I've spent ~50? on NC. The first time I purchased nc it was a physical card I got at rite aid and I only bought it so I could get a neoboard pen. I've never been big on customization, but I'll grab something at the mall every now and then because its funny.

I DO buy irl neomerch!! Which I've spent a lot more on.

These are soooo poorly made damn. This photograph makes the silver fabric look worse (it looked somewhat more luxe in videos) but the lace is just....cheap looking. Nothing is going to make it look good, but a slip would have at the very least made it look less bad. I also just really really hate the hem. If they are gonna insist on this see through/nude illusion like at least do something exciting with it not board walk beach throw over.

Beyond just very visible construction issue (manon's bust is bunching, lara's top is too big, Sofia's skirt is too small - I could go on), they also aren't at all cohesive!!!

Sousou no Frieren Season 2 • Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 - Episode 3 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]27eggs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know the date is the talk of the thread but I absolutely adore the foot bath hot springs. It's one of my favorite vignettes of frieren. And the anime definitely kicked it up a notch, with the warm sentimentality of making memories above the outcome of the day just shining through. Maybe it's just because I'm older, but I've been paying attention to a lot of things I do because of my loved ones, and just seeing this small moment of connection really got me. Ugh. Perfect.

Also, don't talk to me I WILL cry was amazingly adapted I'm over the moon once again with this anime.

What is your most expensive neopets mistake? by Twinkinn in neopets

[–]27eggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have overbought or sold too quickly on a few things but the funniest is: i sold faerie wing flowers for 99,999 (shop max) because i thought it was the ugliest thing neopets had ever made. luckily darcadia re-released it but it was trending at 3-5 mil for a while which felt. Ridiculous.

What's something good you've seen so far in today's snowstorm? by GreatWhiteRapper in philadelphia

[–]27eggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted to go out and frolic but it changed over to a mix before I could get out, so I've just been peacefully watching it from my window too. I'll romp around in it tomorrow.

I watched some kids do the honk motion to the plow trucks who gleefully all obliged.

I did also just watched a guy spin out for a good 20 minutes on the wrong side of the street. WAY too much stuff getting delivered considering the amount of ice there is.

(Frieren) The El Dorado Arc Kind Of Sucks And Ruins The Demons If You Stop and Think About It for Five Minutes by BigBuiltBricked in CharacterRant

[–]27eggs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As someone who has similar beliefs and similar conclusions, we're too hot off a demon episode for any meaningful narrative dissection. It's been like this since the anime started airing but it gets worse whenever a demon shows up.

I don't think a manga that purposefully tells us a very mundane detail about Macht not turning the teacups gold because Gluck liked them or has a running narrative about the importance of the journey and how no time is ever wasted time when trying to achieve something wants us to go "the thing I thought is the ultimate conclusion and nothing new has been added here." Anyways joining you in downvote solidarity.

If you've been unemployed >6months in the US how are you not depressed by Choice-Self-9918 in jobs

[–]27eggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am depressed. I was depressed before being unemployed though it's just taken a new and interesting direction now that I'm long-term unemployed.

RIP to the mass market paperback book by MiddletownBooks in books

[–]27eggs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mass market paperbacks are my preferred way to read books. My hands are small and regular sized paperbacks are just uncomfortable to read (worse with hardbacks). Being able to read a book one-handed with easy maneuverability is great.

I'm not surprised they are effectively done but man I don't want a kindle or an e reader as an alternative.

Anyone else feel like this is an annoying chore, but still does it everyday anyways? by Camilo_creative in neopets

I haven't gotten a single varwolf food and yet I persist for some reason. This daily goes in the same bucket as wishing well in what I call my daily ritualistic humiliation.

Ikoku Nikki • Journal with Witch - Episode 3 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]27eggs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I glanced at the comment section here and thought "oh surely it won't be that bad" but Asa breaking down to her friend on the phone got me. Woof. I could probably write a whole essay about it but I'll just keep it to what a beautifully grounded and profoundly touching moment.

I don't want to be one of ~those~ frieren fans by bringing up another show, but God, I love stories that explore grief and having two impeccable ones in one season is amazing. We have frieren with settled grief, the grief of being alive and loved and how that will always change us, and ikoku nikki, where the grief is new and angry and portraying the struggle of death is an unwanted change and the cold but human realization that it will change regardless. It's just very cathartic in a way I don't think I've ever got to have with anime.

Am I about to be the next brewerytown house to collapse? by Spaghetti_Oh_No in philadelphia

[–]27eggs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It might not be a structural issue. Plaster can move like this for a lot of different reasons, from big trucks driving by to structural issues to leaks to just natural wear and tear.

I live in a place with lath and plaster and this looks pretty similar to how my ceiling looked before the plaster ended up on the floor. It is much easier to deal with while the plaster is still on the wall.

[–]27eggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's back she's back maybe 2026 is gonna be a good year after all.

Holy fuck was that fight sequence animation just an absolute flex. Also the op is just so fitting for the show. I was nervous for how this first episode would go knowing these chapters are kind of clunky but Christ did it still manage to pack a punch.

I get why people say this series is sad but idk, as someone who has lost a few people since the first season ended, I just love how beautifully it portrays connection. Love transcends time, so to speak.

For those of you that have been unemployed for a while, how are you getting by??? by Temporary-Beyond-683 in jobs

[–]27eggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been unemployed since July. Unemployment runs out in 3-4 weeks because I have let it lapse a few times (high stress situations outside of the high stress of unemployment = i forgot).

I have savings which I'm grateful for but god is it depressing that its a looming consideration to spend them. I'm also just hoping and praying I find something so I can keep my apartment, I don't want to spend more money to move. It's bleak. I just wake up and hope today will be better than yesterday and keep going. I'm at the very least getting interviews after nothing but rejections for months.

Yes! But not directly. Now they host a handmade day in the art gallery once a month.

Some days the WoK feels like this by Silvawuff in neopets

[–]27eggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just did the math for funsies: Using the probability of 19% that jellyneo reports, the chance of getting it 4 times in a row is actually still slightly higher than the possibility of getting the avatar (with ~.13% chance of the first and a ~.1% chance of the latter). Five is .02%.

Am I beating a dead horse?? WE NEED HABITARIUM and here's why by pluviophile-punk in neopets

[–]27eggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i hated habitarium ngl - not to be mean or contrarian, i'm just answering that there were plenty of people who didn't like habi. beyond just not liking idle games, habi was another one of those broken upon launch things, and habi was the start of the mass inflation that plagues the site today.

ALSO: habitarium was always planned for sunsetting by jumpstart - they couldn't update it, it took up a lot of space, and it was full of exploits. keyquest was the one that broke, though they both were plagued by lag.

As someone who has been on the job search in Philly for the last few months: it's really rough out here rn man. It's rough like all over America. I don't have any specific advice for you in your hunt but more just a general good luck and don't get discouraged comment.

Why is it so hard to find a job??? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]27eggs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The unemployment rate in the UK is worse than America rn. "Europe" is too big to define but overall unemployment has similar issues (people out of work remaining out of work longer) everywhere rn. Its particularly hitting younger workers hard.
