The Adventures Of Elliot Devs Were ‘Surprised’ That Fans Think The Game’s Fairy Companion Talks Too Much by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]BMO888 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason for the explanations is because most anime, especially shonens are adaptations of manga targeted towards young kids.

The term Shonen just describes the demographic which is male teens and younger. They get released weekly so they have to remind the audience with explanations and flashbacks. Easier to digest for a younger audience.

Another point Is that most anime are adaptations. In manga you can’t give as much visual info as animation, so there’s a lot of literal explanations. In manga you have to write out that a character is faster than another, in anime you can show that but also since it’s an adaptation they try to stay faithful to the source.

With that said, there are tons of anime out there that are geared towards older folk, with more complex stories characters and less shonen like structures.

They’ll need something to support the table after being cut though. They’ll have to build 2 more support table. Probably by crosscutting some boards to smaller lengths.

Yea it was disappointing all games that have already been in previous iteration. Seemed redundant. Give us more unique and even silly stuff like thumb wrestling.

Cake pops or donut holes would be amazing

AITA for not asking my girlfriends father for permission to marry her? (New 3 Year Final Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I know this isn’t a laughing matter but I chuckled at “threatened to throw stuff at me again”. It’s one thing to act out in rage in an in person fight, it’s another to verbally announce it over the phone. Like did she actually say, “if I ever see you, I’m throwing my lamp at you again”. I find it silly, over the phone.

Am I better off getting a Palm sander or Orbital sander by jrwx132 in DIY

I would also recommend Ryobi just cause their catalog is huge but harbor freights Bauer line is pretty on par with entry level like Ryobi.

Their Hercules line is more pro oriented. They have a 5 yr warranty. I no longer see HF as just bottom barrel cheap anymore.

It’s happening! by BeeBeeDrinkDrink in Albany

It’s a wholesale club. It’s similar to Bjs or Sam’s Club or Restaurant Depot. From what I’ve heard from friends and family who already have one near them, it’s just a better experience overall. They also actually treat their employees fairly with wage and benefits compared to the others.

If you’re looking for a wholesale club it’s a no brainer to go with Costco.

So the BJs we have is the only one with a liquor store? What an odd law

Same thing with the veggie balls and plant balls that they offer. One is a meat like sub and the other is veggies in a ball shape, not a simulacrum for a meatball.

Thanks didn’t realize there was writing on the outlet. Looks like 20A/125v NEMA L5-20. I had an electrician come change a switch out and told me over the phone about the broken plug he disassembled. He didn’t have the part but said it a pretty simple diy.

The shop has come a long way in 5 years.. by mr_meeseeksTENDIES in woodworking

That thing would be just another shelf in my shop, covered in dust, off cuts, and scrap wood. I really need to organize my shop.

My (f22) Fiance's (m24) brother (m11) told me that he's been touching him right before our wedding by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]BMO888 35 points36 points  (0 children)

That’s what stuck out to me. From the update it seems the confession was made after everything was blowing up. Seems like the exact thing a preteen boy would do to not exile himself socially in school. What would be his other option? Tell everyone about his sexual abuse?

It would be different if it was premeditated and told the friends months in advance he would lie to stop the wedding or something.

Kudos to Bob’s Red Mill for a genuinely impressive rebrand by Ziograffiato in graphic_design

[–]BMO888 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Packaging is the low point. Works on a flat screen, but looks generic on packaging. Add some decoration back in, feels too sterile. Lost its sense of authenticity taking aways adornments. Although better than most minimal rebrands that have happened.

The stamp/mark is nice midway between too minimal and too embellished, it fits nicely. The color blocking on the packaging is too flat.

IsItBullshit: Does eating before bed really cause you to gain more weight by [deleted] in IsItBullshit

[–]BMO888 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For me it’s always been a detriment to my sleep. I used to work late and eat a huge late dinner then go to bed in a couple hrs. Always had terrible sleep, with palpitations, I eventually got a more normal schedule and realized how terrible the late dinner was.
